Hitchin Window Shutter Installers

Plantation Shutters

Plantation window shutters are one of the current must haves for homeowners. Hitchin in Hertfordshire has seen significant growth in recent years and the influx of new homeowners has driven the growth in shutter installations in the area.

Window shutters offer not just style and elegance, but additional security, flexible shading and reduced heat loss in winter.

Choose from hardwood in a variety of finishes or painted colours or MDF shutters also in a selection of colours and finishes.

Shutters can transform a room and have a dramatic effect on the appearance of your decor.

With flexibility and control over how much light you let into your room, you have far more options that traditional curtains, either open or closed.

Plantation shutters can give privacy while still allowing light in, as well as offering security lockable versions so you can leave windows open for fresh air but stop any would be intruders from gaining access.

Shutters come in a range of styles, from half height ‘cafe’ style, through full height, full height split, and even specialist shutters for almost any window shape or unusual installation.

High quality shutters are less expensive than you think and are excellent value for money.
