Tier on Tier Shutters – Flexible, Elegant & Functional
Tier on tier shutters offer the perfect blend of style and flexibility. Covering the full height of your window just like full-height shutters, this design features two independently operable panels — one at the top and one at the bottom. This unique structure allows for precise control over light and privacy, making it a favourite for bay windows, road-facing rooms, and living areas where flexibility is key.
Whether you want to enjoy daylight while keeping your privacy intact or customise your room’s look and feel throughout the day, tier on tier shutters are a versatile and stylish choice.
📍 We supply and install tier on tier shutters across London, Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Beaconsfield, and surrounding areas.

What are Tier on Tier Shutters?
Think of tier on tier shutters like a stable door — the top and bottom sections open and close independently. This means you can swing open the top tier for natural light and views while keeping the bottom tier closed for privacy, or adjust the louvres on each tier separately for a custom balance of shade and visibility.
This flexibility is particularly useful in urban settings or street-level rooms, where you might want to keep lower-level privacy without losing light from above.

Tier on Tier Shutters FAQ

What is the difference between full height and tier on tier?
- Full Height Shutters: One continuous panel from top to bottom but can include a divider rail for light control. Clean, minimal, and streamlined.
- Tier on Tier Shutters: Two separate sections, each with its own set of panels and louvres, allowing for greater flexibility.
If you need more control throughout the day, tier on tier is the smarter option. If you prefer a simpler look with fewer lines, full height may suit you better.
Do they help with insulation?
Yes – both the top and bottom tiers act as barriers to reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency.
Are tier on tier shutters suitable for all windows?
Tier on tier shutters can be fitted to any window you wish. However, they’re best suited to taller windows, especially sash and bay windows. We tend to advise against this style of shutter for particularly small windows or for clients looking to reduce the amount of wood framing on panels.
Can I choose different materials or colours?
Absolutely. Choose from hardwood, MDF, Pearlwood and waterproof ABS, with a wide range of colours and finishes to suit your interior.
