Plantation Shutters for Elham — Free Home Survey

Our Elham customers usually come to us after a high-street chain has quoted them for a standard plantation shutters package — and the survey has shown why that doesn't work.

What sets these plantation shutters apart

Plantation shutters are the longest-lasting window treatment we install. Because every panel is built to the millimetre, they sit flush in the recess and frame the window cleanly — even on older properties where openings are rarely square.

We work mostly in poplar hardwood for painted finishes and ABS-reinforced ranges for bathrooms and kitchens. Hinges, tilt rods and frames are all chosen to suit the style of the room, not pulled from a one-size catalogue.

Full-height, tier-on-tier, café-style and shaped configurations
Hardwood, ABS-waterproof and engineered MDF ranges
Custom RAL-matched paint colours available
Hidden tilt rods, gold/bronze/chrome hinges, motorised options
Lifetime guarantee on the shutter, 5-year guarantee on installation

Garden-room plantation shutters just outside Elham

Pitched glazing and a south-west aspect — we specified pleated honeycomb with a thermal-coated rear face to drop the room temperature by ~6°C in peak sun.

We surveyed every window in one visit, sequenced the manufacture by room and fitted across two days with one fitter — no disruption to the rest of the build.

Grease and steam ruled out fabric in this run — we went with 50mm faux-wood Venetians and a wipe-clean finish that's still looking new four years on.

What to think about for Elham

  • Catalogue sizing forced into a non-square reveal — gaps you can see daylight through.
  • Wrong fixing into render or lath-and-plaster — brackets pull within months.
  • Cord-and-chain installs without break-away tensioners — fails current child-safety regs.
  • Recess-fit on listed windows where face-fix was the right call — heritage issue waiting to happen.
