Shutters

6 years ago

Love these and have been trying to create similar. Did you create the barn door fixings or did you manage to find a "kit" with smaller wheels etc..,

Thoughts on plantation shutters?

We love our shutters! We live on a busy street and the shutters give us the privacy we need, and also smarter up our windows. We have wanted shutters for ages, and received a few quotes which were all so different, but too expensive for us. A couple of months ago we came across a company www.shuttershack.co.uk they are the sister company of a already established company. Anyway we ordered ours as DIY shutters which saved us literally ££'s. We have fitted ourselves. But they do offer a fitting service, which still seems a lot cheaper than other companies. Happy days.

I think you'll have to go with white or whatever looks best indoors in those rooms. You can always think about getting the windows colour bonded at some point instead of replacing them. Then you can choose any colour for those inside and out! You can paint UPVC yourself - All of our windows inside are painted the same colour as the walls in those rooms so that the windows blend into the walls. They were dark brown / mahogany ( vile ) - Outside they are all sage green. If you're going to paint the frames inside which will brighten the rooms and let you have whatever colour shutters you like, use Zinsser 1-2-3 primer and then paint away.

We have a similarly large triangular window in our loft. When it was first done (about 10 years ago) there wasn’t much option, so we ended up with pull-up conservatory type blinds from Hilary’s. They cost a fortune and they have strings that run up the windows that are always visible. The blinds have little perforations that the strings run through - so we haven’t got black out. It doesn’t bother me, but my husband sleeps in the spare room in summer because he can’t stand it!!! We finally took the plunge and ordered shutters which are being fitted next Saturday. Fingers crossed it improved things! The shutters should also be more robust - one of our cats likes to poke the blinds. If money allows - I reckon shutters are the better option!

Yes just the windowsill. There’s paint on the windowsill on the inside of the shutter frame but it’s not the end of the world if I can’t get it off. Will masking tape be enough to protect from the steam?
