Why choose plantation shutters in St Albans
Shutters have been around since ancient Greece and they are still a top choice for windows today. They use wooden louvers fixed inside a custom frame that we attach to your window sill or door frame. One of the main reasons our St Albans customers choose plantation shutters is because of how they handle light. You can have full brightness or total privacy just by tilting the slats. It means you don’t have to turn the lamps on as much and that saves you money on your electric.
Besides saving money these plantation shutters bring a classic style to your property that doesn’t age. Even though they look traditional we have modern materials and colours that fit any decor. Plantation shutters St Albans homes often feature, are specifically suited for the many victorian or georgian buildings in the area. They look great and they also increase what your home is worth because they stay with the house. They are a solid investment for any local homeowner.
Another big plus for plantation shutters is they are very easy to maintain. Curtains are heavy and you have to take them down to wash them which is a chore. Venetian blinds always get thick with dust in places you can’t reach. With these shutters you just wipe the louvers with a damp cloth once a week and they look new for years. It saves you time so you can enjoy your weekend in St Albans instead of cleaning.

What are the best shutters for Victorian bay windows?
Many homes in St Albans have those classic large bay windows. We usually recommend full height or tier-on-tier plantation shutters for these. They match the old architecture of the house but still give you modern control over your privacy.
Are shutters better than blinds for city centre houses?
If you live in the St Albans city centre near the pavement then shutters are definitely better. You can angle the slats so nobody can see in from the street but you still get plenty of light. Normal blinds usually have to be fully closed to get that much privacy.
