Plantation Shutter Doors – Kitchen Installation

Plantation Shutters work well in all areas of the home, and indeed on both windows and doors. These shutters were fitted last week as part of a full house.  They are from our Cleveland Range – which are combination of composite materials including MDF/Fauxwood panels with ABS louvres and MDF/Fauxwood frames.  Basically this means that the louvres are unbreakable! The French Door shutters feature unique details such as our new ring-pull handle and magnetic door stop As always please call us on 087-2128007 or email our friendly team today with any queries you may have. Our shutters are still the best at saving you that…

Clontarf Plantation Shutter Doors

Colette chose our Classic shutters in ‘Pure White’ for her recently renovated home in Clontarf. Colette’s French Door shutters were designed with 6 panels (instead of 4) which gives a really elegant look and ensures the doors slide much more easily. The shutters have 3″ (76mm) louvres with no tilt rod – instead using our EasyTilt system for opening and closing. The new ring pull on the doors will help with their operation and avoid jammy fingerprints! .

Kinsale, Co Cork – Shutters Installation

Take a look inside these recently renovated luxury holiday apartments in Kinsale. As they are located on Main Street, Kinsale, the owner wanted to ensure privacy and noise reduction for his guests. The shutters installed were custom made from our hardwearing Classic range (MDF), (see our Shutter Range here) with 63mm (2.5″) louvres in Silk White. The tilt rod is hidden using our Easy Tilt mechanism and this is a great option for heavy traffic areas.

Keep Your Rooms Cool with Shutters

With this great weather we’ve had lately the only downside is being able to keep the house cool and flies out!  Getting air into the house is so important and having proper ventilation is essential for keeping the temperature down – especially at nighttime when it can get uncomfortable.  For those homes without shutters – the only way to get the air in is to open the window and open the curtains or raise the blinds – what a nuisance! – you either get no privacy or flapping window treatments! However – with plantation shutters it’s so much easier!  Shutters…

“Will Shutters Darken my Room?”

A question we get asked, probably every day when we’re meeting people, is if shutters will darken a room.  Obviously it is a worry for everyone – when investing in any new purchase you need to make sure you have all the facts! The main thing to remember about Plantation Shutters is that they give you the ability to control how much light comes into your room.  Thus – if you want a bright, room with lots of light entering or you would like a more romantic, cozy feel – both are possible with Plantation Shutters. Creating a Bright Effect…

Office Plantation Shutters – Galway

I don’t know about you, but sometimes the thought of settling down to work at home can cause me to groan – I always see all the other things that can be done around the place, and never totally get into work!  However, when I saw these shutters that we fitted in Galway – besides instant jealousy – I knew that this would be a home office where even my wandering mind could focus! The shutters are in Silk White from our Classic Range (see here), they have our Easy Tilt mechanism (which has no visible tilt rod) and have 3″…

9 Ringsend Dublin Plantation Shutters Guest Bedroom

Shutter Blinds in Ringsend, Dublin 4

This apartment in Ringsend, Dublin 4 has been transformed with the installation of Plantation Shutter Blinds from our Classic Range.   The Venetian Blinds in place before our make-over were awkward and difficult to use. When we installed our Plantation Shutters, the room immediately looked more sophisticated and elegant.  Not only that, but the use of shutter doors meant that there were no more cords to contend with or banging blinds when the doors were open. The Shutter doors can also open back to ensure easy passage into the much used balcony. The shutter doors can be left open or…

6 Reasons to Love Plantation Shutters

Plantation Shutters are beautiful, and you really can call them furniture for your windows.  Although they are not nearly as expensive as they used to be, plantation shutters are still an investment for your home.  Bearing this in mind, we have put together some practical reasons to love Plantation Shutters: Light & Dark – plantation shutters work really well during the day to bounce light around your room. However, once it starts getting dark in the evenings, all you need to do to stop people being able to see in, is to tilt the louvers or close them completely.  And…
