Shutter Brochure

What are Café shutters?

Picture a solution that leaves light flooding in through the top half of your window, while you make a design statement below. Not only are café style shutters a beautiful expression of taste and flair, they’re also a smart and practical way to block out unwanted attention from the pavement outside. So you can enjoy bright sunshine and total privacy, all in one.

They’re ideal for living rooms and kitchens that face the street, and for enhancing the authentic look of Victorian properties. That said, they fit perfectly with contemporary décor too and offer a huge amount of kerb appeal to any home.

Unlike our full height plantation shutters, the beauty of café style is that they only cover the bottom half of the window. So even with added privacy for your home, you can still enjoy the warming glow of the summer sun, filtering into your home.

Options

Tilt Rod operation

The alternative to the more modern Silent Tilt is the traditional Tilt Rod. Tilt rods are connected to each individual louvre with metal pins, allowing for an easy movement to control the light.

Tilt Roads can be split to allow for different sections of the panels louvres to operate individualy and allow better control of light and privacy. Or the tilt rods can be offset, this is especially helpful with byfolding panels.

For a cleaner more modern look Silent Tilt is available.

Silent Tilt

If you are looking for a cleaner, more contemporary look for your shutters, the hidden (or “silent”) tilt rod option could be something to consider.

Rather than a visible rod, silent tilt controls the louvres by a mechanism within the panel itself, meaning that if you tilt one, the others move with it. For shutters with a mid-rail or tier-on-tier split, the different sections are still operated separately, as with the visible tilt rod option..

AutoClose

Ideal for shutters covering large expanses, such as room dividers, wardrobes and patio doors. Available in all our hardwood shutter ranges.

There’s no need to manually close your shutters, simply use the convenient ring pull. AutoClose makes life that little bit easier.

Now you can save time, minimise effort and protect your louvres instantly with AutoClose!

Powermotion Motorised

PowerMotion by S:CRAFT. This time-saving extra lets you control your shutters remotely, simply and effortlessly, at the touch of a button.

S:CRAFT’s intelligent design stops the motors if anything blocks the louvre motion. Making this a safe choice for younger children with inquisitive fingers.

Available in a wide range of styles and installation types; if you’re looking for motorised shutters, PowerMotion is the perfect choice.

Concealed Hinges

If you want to create a sleek and modern look, with clean lines, consider the option of a hidden hinge.

This optional extra is available when ordered with our Samoa range of shutters. Its thick, robust frames are proportionate in size to its louvres, producing a visually pleasing finish.

Room Darkening Shutters

Shutters do still let a small amount of light into your home, even when closed, which is why we offer an integrated room darkening blind system. Sitting within its own channel behind the shutter, the room darkening blind allows for excellent blackout combined with the contemporary look of shutters.

Available for the majority of our shutter ranges, for full height and tier-on-tier shutter styles.
