Is there any reason not to get Tier on Tier Shutters?
Although Tier on Tier shutters make a brilliant addition to most rooms in the home, it is occasionally not the best option for bedrooms because of the slight gap between the tiers. This gap is due to the tolerance required between top and bottom panels so they continue to operate smoothly throughout the lifespan of the shutters. For light sleepers, this additional light gap can lessen the room darkening possibilities of the shutters which may be vital for a good nights sleep. There is however a solution to this in our room darkening blinds which can be built into the shutter framing to be pulled down behind the shutter to block out any light behind the panels to avoid any shining through the slats and panel tolerances.
