Full Height Shutters - Elegant, Versatile & Timeless
Full height shutters are by far our most popular shutter style, offering a timeless aesthetic combined with exceptional functionality. Designed to cover the entire window from top to bottom, these shutters are perfect for those looking to enhance privacy, improve insulation, and gain greater control over natural light — all with a classic and elegant finish.
Whether you’re updating a modern apartment in London or adding charm to a period property in Surrey, full-height shutters provide a sleek, uniform look that suits every room in the house.
📍 We offer full height shutter installation in London, Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Beaconsfield, and surrounding areas.

Why Choose Full Height Shutters?
Full-height shutters are known for their clean lines, practical design, and excellent coverage. Unlike tier-on-tier shutters, which have separate top and bottom sections, full-height shutters are built as a single panel from sill to lintel, creating a seamless look that works beautifully across a wide range of interior styles.
They are especially ideal for taller windows and French doors, offering an architectural focal point as well as superb light and privacy control.
Key Benefits of Full Height Shutters
Complete window coverage for maximum privacy
Optional mid-rail divider for split light control
Perfect for bedrooms, lounges, kitchens, and offices
Helps insulate your home and reduce energy bills
Strong, stable, and built to last
Enhanced Light & Privacy Control
One of the standout features of full height shutters is their ability to balance light filtration and privacy. A mid-rail (horizontal divider) can be added to split the top and bottom slats, allowing you to adjust each section independently — open the top for sunlight while keeping the bottom closed for privacy.
This makes them particularly effective in street-facing rooms, bathrooms, and ground-floor living areas.

Full Height Shutters FAQ

What is the most popular material for full height shutters?
Our most popular materials are Craftwood MDF, Premium Hardwood and Pearlwood. Premium Hardwood is great for living areas and tends to be the most popular for full-height shutters as it is a great middle ground with the benefit of being sturdy enough to allow for larger panelling.
What’s the difference between full height and tier-on-tier shutters?
Tier-on-tier shutters open as two separate sections. Full height shutters are a single panel but can have a split in the louvres for flexibility.
Do I need a divider rail for full height shutters?
Not always, as it really depends on both design preference and the specifications required for your chosen shutters. Where a window is quite tall, a divider rail will be required to make the shutter structurally sound but the team will inform you accordingly if this is the case.
Are full height shutters energy efficient?
Yes, they help reduce heat loss in winter and keep rooms cooler in summer by acting as a barrier between the glass and your space.
