Shutter style
Café-Style Shutters
Panels cover only the bottom half of the window, borrowed from continental café-front windows. You keep natural light streaming in above while gaining privacy at eye level below.
Best suited to
- · Front-facing rooms overlooking pavements
- · Kitchens
- · Dining rooms
- · Terraced houses
How they operate
Panels open on hinges from a mid-height rail. Louvres tilt to adjust the view and privacy of the lower half without touching the light coming through the top.
Ideal for homeowners who
- · Homes on busier streets
- · Period properties where character matters as much as blackout
Advantages
- · Maximum daylight, especially useful in north-facing rooms
- · Privacy at seated-eye level without blocking the view above
- · A softer, more characterful look than full-height panels
- · Typically the most cost-effective shutter option
Worth knowing
- · Does not room-darken — pair with curtains or a blind if that matters
- · Best where the window sits higher than head height when standing
