5 Things to Check Before Ordering Bay Window Shutters
-
Bay Angles & Corner Posts: Custom corner posts match your exact window angles, guaranteeing panels open smoothly and allow shutters to follow the natural shape of your window in a seamless way
-
Window Handles & Vents: Projecting window handles and trickle vents can block shutter panels. Custom frame depths and clever build-outs ensure your louvres open effortlessly without compromising airflow or clearance
-
Slat Size vs. Room Depth: Choose 64mm slats for compact bays to keep proportions neat. Choose 76mm or 89mm slats for deeper or darker bays to let in maximum light and offer clearer views outside.
-
Divider Rails: Aligning a divider rail with your window’s sash bar hides the shutter mechanism behind existing window lines. This preserves your period architecture while letting you operate top and bottom louvres separately.
-
Material Choice for Damp Spaces: Choose lightweight wood for dry living rooms and grand period bays. Opt for Waterproof in kitchen or bathroom bays prone to condensation to prevent warping and peeling.
