Cheriton Plantation Shutters, Surveyed and Fitted by Our Own Teamfor Period Properties

If your Cheriton property has small bay windows on terraced frontages, plantation shutters done off-catalogue will fight you for years. Built to the actual reveal, they just work.

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.

Project snapshots from Cheriton and nearby

Glare on screens was killing productivity. We picked a dim-out fabric with a cassette headrail so the blind closes flush against the reveal — no light spill at the edges.

Reveal was 12 mm out across the diagonal. We built every panel to the measured drop rather than to the nominal.

Cheriton-specific points worth knowing

  • ABS-waterproof shutter ranges for bathrooms, utility rooms and coastal exposures.
  • Real hardwood for living rooms and bedrooms where the warmth of timber matters.
  • Moisture-stable faux wood for kitchens — handles steam without warping.
  • Acrylic-coated thermal fabrics for conservatories and south-facing rooms.
