Plantation Shutters Done Properly in Chilham for Bay Windows
For Chilham's Tudor and Jacobean timber-framed cottages, plantation shutters offer a sympathetic window dressing choice for bay windows. Our bespoke full-height shutters are crafted to fit the precise angles of your bay, ensuring a seamless look that complements older properties. The solid panels provide excellent insulation, a benefit in homes around Chilham Square, and their robust construction means they handle the unique demands of bay window installations well, becoming a central feature of the room.
Plantation Shutters for bay windows: what we look for
Bay windows are the trickiest single window type to dress well. Get the panelling, joinery angles or fabric tension wrong and the whole bay looks unfinished — get it right and a bay becomes the focal point of the room.
- Each panel or blind is measured individually so the line follows the bay rather than fighting it.
- Square, splay and box bays each behave differently — survey decides the right approach.
- Lead, sash and uPVC bays all have different fixing constraints to plan for at survey.
- Pricing is per panel for shutters and per drop for blinds — we always show a clear per-window breakdown.

About our plantation shutters
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.
How we keep the standard up
- Every survey is done in person — no online questionnaires.
- Manufacturing is sequenced by room, not by depot batch.
- Fitting is signed off window-by-window with you in the room.
- Aftercare calls at 6 weeks and 6 months on every install.
