- Which timber do you use for your shutters?
- We use premium hardwoods including poplar and paulownia, alongside engineered timber alternatives — all chosen for their stability, finish and longevity. For bathrooms and high-moisture rooms, we typically recommend PVC shutters which are fully waterproof and just as beautiful. We'll talk you through every option at the survey stage so you can make the right choice for your room and budget.
- How long do shutters take to be made?
- Plantation shutters are bespoke joinery, so production typically takes 8–10 weeks from the date your order is confirmed. If you need it quicker, please get in touch for our expedited service. We'll give you an accurate fitting date when your order is placed — no vague estimates, just an honest lead time.
- Are plantation shutters good for insulation?
- Yes — solid timber shutters add a meaningful layer of thermal insulation to your windows, reducing draughts in winter and helping to keep rooms cooler in summer. They also significantly cut external noise, which makes them a popular choice for homes near busy roads across Scunthorpe and North Lincolnshire.
- Can you fit shutters to bay windows?
- Bay windows are one of our specialities. We template every angle on-site to ensure a precise fit, and our shutters are hinged to open elegantly within the bay recess. We've fitted plantation shutters to bay windows across Scunthorpe, Brigg, Messingham and beyond — it's one of the most transformative installations we do.
- How are shutters cleaned?
- A quick wipe with a soft brush or damp microfibre cloth across the louvres is all that's needed to keep your shutters looking immaculate. Unlike fabric blinds or curtains, shutters don't trap dust or harbour allergens — making them a particularly good choice for allergy sufferers and homes with pets.
