Plantation Shutters Done Properly in Acrise for Period Properties
For Acrise properties, where you might find a converted estate building or farmhouse, bespoke full-height plantation shutters offer a classic window dressing. Their custom fit ensures a seamless look, even around aged and uneven sashes typical of period homes. We craft each set to account for any settlement or twist in historic window frames, providing a precise installation that standard sizes cannot match, enhancing both privacy and light control.
Plantation Shutters for period properties: what we look for
Period properties almost never have square reveals. Two-hundred-year-old sashes, leaded casements and timber casements all settle, twist and wear over time — and a window dressing built to a 'standard' size will always show it.
- Every panel and drop is measured individually — most period reveals are out by 5–15 mm corner to corner.
- Café-style shutters and tier-on-tier configurations protect the original sightline in heritage properties.
- Listed-building consent is rarely required for interior fittings, but we'll provide the technical detail if you need to consult.
- Lead-light and stained-glass windows usually call for face-fix solutions that don't touch the original glazing bars.

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.
What makes the install last
- Stainless and brass fixings only — no plated steel into damp reveals.
- Fabrics matched to room conditions (steam, light, traffic).
- Tracks and headrails sized to the actual drop, not the nearest size up.
- Brackets fixed into substrate, not into render or lath.
