Café style shutters cover only the lower portion of your window, giving you privacy at eye level while allowing natural light to fill the rest of the room. For street facing rooms across Guildford, from the Victorian terraces around Charlotteville to the family homes in Merrow, Burpham and Onslow Village, they are often the perfect solution.
We have been fitting made to measure window shutters across Surrey for over 15 years, and café style shutters remain one of our most requested shutter styles.
Guildford’s period properties were built with tall sash windows and generous bay windows, and it would be a shame to cover all that glass. Café style plantation shutters shield the lower section from passers by while the top half stays open for fresh air and sunshine.
They work particularly well in:
Also known as half window shutters or half shutters, café shutters sit across the lower half of the window frame only. Unlike full height shutters, which cover the entire window, or tier on tier shutters, which open independently at the top and bottom, café style window shutters leave the upper section clear. You get a bright, chic room with light control where you need it, and an uninterrupted view of the sky above.
Our free, no obligation in-house survey makes choosing the perfect shutter blinds for your home a piece of cake.
We come to your home armed with samples for inspiration, our wealth and knowledge.
We will discuss the various shutter options available to suit your requirements, before taking the exact measurements of your windows to ensure your shutters will fit perfectly.
Once your shutters are made, we will arrange a date to install. With years of experience fitting shutter blinds around the UK, you can sit back safe in the knowledge they’ll be right the first time.
Every set of bespoke shutters is built to your exact measurements. Choose painted finishes, natural wood or a custom colour matched to your interior style, with a range of louvre sizes to suit each window. Wooden shutters bring a timeless style to older homes, while our complete range of colours suits newer builds around Slyfield and Park Barn just as well.
Shutters add an extra layer at the glass that helps reduce heat loss in winter. That excellent insulation improves energy efficiency and softens outside noise, giving you complete peace indoors. Adjust the louvres through the day for the perfect balance between light and privacy, keeping the room private at street level without losing daylight.
Every project starts with a free home survey. We bring samples, offer honest product guidance and measure precisely, then return to install shutters cleanly and tidily. All our shutters carry a five year guarantee, which keeps the process stress free from first visit to final fitting.
