Kingston Plantation Shutters, Surveyed and Fitted by Our Own Team for Bedrooms

For bedrooms in Kingston's period cottages, full-height plantation shutters offer both character and control. Their solid construction, available in various painted and natural finishes, blocks out early morning light effectively. This ensures a dark sleeping environment, which is particularly useful during summer when the Elham Valley experiences long daylight hours. The robust nature of shutters also provides a layer of insulation, beneficial for older properties near the quiet lanes.

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.

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.

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
