Shutters by Room
Kitchen Shutters
Kitchen shutters need to be practical: easy to clean, happy with a bit of steam and made to clear taps, sills and worktops. Get those right and they look great too. We cover Stockton-on-Tees, Middlesbrough, Darlington, Hartlepool and the surrounding area.

Practical first
Kitchens get steamy and busy, so we usually recommend water-resistant faux wood shutters that wipe clean easily. See faux wood shutters.
Made around your kitchen
We measure around taps, handles and sills so the panels open freely. Café style and tier-on-tier shutters are popular above the sink.
Choosing kitchen shutters for your window
Kitchen windows are often above a sink or worktop, so the style needs to be easy to reach and open. Café style shutters cover the lower part of the window, giving privacy from the garden or street while leaving the top clear for daylight. Tier-on-tier shutters let you fold back just the top panels when you want more light or need to open the window. For a back door or patio doors in a kitchen-diner, tracked shutters slide aside so the doorway stays clear.
Measuring around taps, handles and recesses
We measure the depth of the recess (the opening the window sits in) and how far the window handle sticks out, because the louvres (the slats you tilt) need space to turn without knocking it. We also check the height of your tap, as a tall mixer tap can stop panels opening if it isn't allowed for. If the recess is shallow, the shutter can go on a frame just outside it. These are the details we'd always rather sort out at the measure than discover on fitting day. If there's a radiator or a deep sill under the window, we'll allow for that too.
Cleaning, colours and light
Water-resistant faux wood shutters wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth, which is handy for the odd cooking splash. A quick dust of the louvres every so often stops grease and dust building up. White and soft neutral shades are popular in kitchens as they help keep the room bright, but we'll bring a range of colours to compare against your units. Tilting the louvres lets daylight in while keeping your privacy. See our care and maintenance guide for more tips.
