Special Shape Shutters

London Essex Shutters and Blinds

Special-shape shutters in Essex and London. Arched, angled and unusual windows need an individual layout. The outline, frame depth and proposed opening arrangement matter as much as the dimensions.

Ask which sections open and which may be fixed, how you will reach handles and vents, and how surfaces can be cleaned safely.

Our Brentwood-based team can discuss samples and measure the opening before the final specification. Book a free shutter consultation. For practical differences, compare full-height and tier-on-tier shutters; for thermal expectations, read our shutter insulation guide.

What Are Special Shape Shutters?

Special Shape Shutters are bespoke window treatments specifically designed to fit windows that go beyond the standard rectangular or square shape. Over time, architecture in both London and Essex has embraced creativity, featuring arches, angles, portholes, triangles, octagons, and a variety of other unique shapes. Traditional curtains or standard blinds often fail to accommodate these shapes effectively, leaving homeowners struggling with ways to control light and privacy.

This is where our Special Shape Shutters come in, crafted to perfectly match your window’s distinctive contours. By blending precision craftsmanship with top-quality materials, these shutters not only cover your custom-shaped window flawlessly but also add an elegant, cohesive look to the entire interior design.

When we refer to ‘special’ or ‘unusual’ shapes, it can include:

Suitability depends on the opening dimensions, shape, frame depth and access requirements. A survey will establish a practical layout before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are special shape shutters more expensive than regular shutters?

Cost depends on the shape, size, material and construction. Request a written quotation for the actual opening rather than relying on a standard rectangular-window price.

Suitability depends on the opening dimensions, shape, frame depth and access requirements. A survey will establish a practical layout before you order.

While you can take rough measurements for an initial estimate, our team will conduct a detailed measurement during a site visit. This ensures perfect accuracy before production.

It depends on the design. Many can be crafted with hinges allowing them to swing open, though certain highly complex shapes might have fixed components. We’ll discuss options with you during the design phase.

We can divide the shutter into multiple panels or use a track system if necessary, ensuring both coverage and usability for large or wide windows.

Tell us about humidity, condensation and direct splashes. We will discuss suitable available materials and their care requirements for the room; not every finish suits every wet location.

Manufacturing and fitting times depend on the specification and number of windows. Confirm the current lead time and planned installation duration in your written quotation.

We recommend ordering shutters in the finish you desire from the start. Repainting is possible but may require professional sanding and repainting to maintain a smooth finish.

Fixing positions depend on the substrate and frame design. Discuss the proposed fixings before ordering, especially where original joinery or listed-building requirements are involved.

Motorization is more common with blinds or track systems, but in certain louvered designs, we can discuss motorized tilt for hard-to-reach areas. It’s best to consult with our team regarding feasibility.

Plan safe cleaning access before ordering high-level shutters. Use only suitable equipment from a safe position and follow the supplied care instructions.

Service life depends on the product, environment, use and care. Ask for the current product guarantee, exclusions and aftercare instructions in writing.

No. Our interior shutters are for privacy and light control. They are not security shutters and should not be relied on to prevent entry.

Solid panel shutters offer the most extensive light blockage. Louvered designs allow adjustable light control but may let small amounts of light in through louver gaps.
