Plantation Shutters for bedrooms: what we look for
Bedrooms are the most demanding room in the house for window dressings. They need to handle full daylight in summer mornings, complete dark for sleep, child-safe operation and quiet movement — often all in the same window.
- Blackout linings or solid shutter panels handle summer dawn light far better than blinds alone.
- Cassette headrails and side-channel options dramatically reduce 'light leak' around the edges.
- All operating chains and cords are fitted with current child-safe break-away tensioners as standard.
- Quiet operation matters — we use cassette systems and slow-fall mechanisms in bedrooms by default.
What to think about for Folkestone
- 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.
