Keeping Your Home Warm and Toasty for the Winter
As the colder months arrive, homes across the UK begin to transform. Throws appear on sofas, candles are lit, and radiators quietly click to life. But despite our best efforts, it’s easy to lose warmth through one of the most overlooked parts of the home: the windows.
According to research from the British Blind and Shutter Association (BBSA), up to 18% of a property’s heat loss occurs through its windows. Even with modern glazing, glass is a natural conductor, meaning the warmth you pay for can easily escape. That’s where plantation shutters offer a practical and stylish solution.
Beautiful, versatile and energy-efficient, shutters can help cut down heat loss by as much as 33%, according to the same study. Acting like an insulating barrier, they help maintain a consistent temperature, keeping your home warm in the evenings and bright during the day.
Our shutters are made to measure for every individual window, ensuring a perfect fit that prevents cold draughts. They’re crafted and installed by our in-house London team, who bring decades of expertise to each project. Whether you live in a Georgian terrace or a modern flat, our team measures, designs and fits with care and precision.
A Smart Way to Save Energy
The beauty of shutters lies in their adaptability. During the day, open the slats to allow sunlight to gently warm your home. As dusk falls, close them to seal in the heat. It’s a simple habit that can have a meaningful impact on both comfort and energy costs.
If you’ve ever noticed how a thick pair of curtains helps a room stay warmer, shutters take that principle even further. They sit directly against the window frame, creating an additional layer between your interior space and the cold air outside.
For homeowners looking to maximise efficiency, pairing shutters with honeycomb or thermal blinds can deliver even better insulation, particularly in bedrooms or larger spaces where heat loss is more noticeable.
Designed for Comfort, Built to Last
Beyond their practical benefits, plantation shutters bring timeless style. Available in a range of finishes from classic white to rich wood stains, they complement every type of interior. Many clients tell us they love how shutters transform their rooms, adding both elegance and peace of mind during the colder months.
Because all our shutters are installed by our own London-based team, we maintain control at every stage, from measurement to installation. The result is reliable craftsmanship and consistent quality that lasts for years.
For over 42 years, Plantation Shutters Ltd has been helping London homes stay warm, stylish and efficient. With energy costs continuing to rise, there’s never been a better time to invest in comfort that pays for itself.
