Plantation Shutters Done Properly in Mersham for Period Properties
For Mersham's period brick cottages around the green, bespoke full-height plantation shutters offer a sympathetic window dressing. We craft these to account for the settled, non-square window reveals common in older homes. The painted or natural finishes complement original timberwork, providing both privacy and light control without highlighting any imperfections from two centuries of movement in your sash or casement windows. Standard sizes simply won't achieve this seamless integration.
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.
