Plantation Shutters Done Properly in Hythefor Bay Windows

From the seafront down to the back streets of Hythe, plantation shutters jobs share one trait: every window deserves to be measured on its own terms.

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.

On a Hythe survey, this is what we look at

  • 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.

We measured the bay panel-by-panel and joined the plantation shutters at the angle so the line follows the bay rather than fighting it.
