The range, in plain English
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.
Project snapshots from Lydd and nearby
Holiday-let plantation shutters for a TN29 coastal property
Salt and rapid guest turnover — we used ABS-waterproof shutters and washable rollers that the cleaners can sanitise between bookings.
Café-style plantation shutters for a Lydd front room
Privacy at street level without losing the daylight up high — half-height café shutters in a satin white finish, fitted within 12mm of the glass.
Tall-window plantation shutters on a Lydd townhouse
Three-metre drops on the staircase needed split panels with a mid-rail so the lower section opens for cleaning without dropping the whole blind.
Things Lydd customers ask about most
- Closed at night: full privacy, no streetlight leak, warmer feel underfoot.
- Tilted in the day: light pushed deep into the room without losing the view.
- Layered with a soft Roman above: hotel-style softness on top of precision light control.
- Painted to match trim: the window stops shouting and starts framing the view.
