Plantation shutter features

Here at Wolds Shutters, we create bespoke, made to measure plantation shutters which are the perfect addition to your home. To achieve a perfect finish on every project we offer a range of styles, materials, finishes and shutter features. As always, Wolds Shutters is available to take you through the various options with a free home consultation, and we hope you find the information on this page useful.

The tilt system you choose for your new plantation shutters will dictate how the individual shutter louvres are operated, and we have a range of potential options available. The most popular tilt systems are:

Easy tilt shutters

This design features a hidden tilt system which allows the shutter louvres to be easily adjusted without the need for a tilt rod. The tilt mechanism is built into the shutter panel, with the louvres easily opened and closed by hand. This is our most popular option, and we are sure you will be impressed with our hidden gear system that ensures the louvres move in sync.

Centre tilt shutters

In this design a central tilt rod runs through the centre of the shutter louvres, which allows all louvres to be easily adjusted and tilted at once. The simple style works well in homes with a traditional style, such as full height shutters within sash windows or hinged shutters in bay windows. As the original tilt style, the central rod will help you to retain and enhance the natural character of your home.

Offset tilt shutters

In a similar way to the centre tilt shutters, a tilt rod is attached to the panels, however in this style it is positioned to one side of the shutter louvres. If you are looking to create a modern, sleek finish, this style will minimise the detail and allow the shutter louvres to become the focal point.

Hidden tilt shutters

This design does not feature a tilt rod, instead a small, white metal bar is hidden at the back on the shutter panel and is attached to the louvres. This is a popular option within our range of painted shutters, as the white bar matches the panels to create a more cost-effective option than our premium easy tilt shutters.

The slats within the shutter panels are commonly referred to as the louvres, and they are one of the most important features within your stylish panels. Here at Wolds Shutters, we offer six popular louvre sizes;

  • 32mm
  • 47mm
  • 64mm
  • 76mm
  • 89mm
  • 114mm

with each size suitable for specific shutter designs.

If your ultimate goal is to improve privacy and you are not concerned about maximising light in the room, our narrow 64mm louvres will be ideal. In contrast, if you are looking to maximise light our large 114mm louvres will provide the widest openings. Although, many of our customers choose the mid-size 76mm louvres, which offer a great balance between light and privacy.

We are able to supply and install our interior shutters in any stain or colour finish, with various options available depending on the material you choose. The most popular option throughout Yorkshire is a painted white finish, as the versatility of this colour allows it to blend with every home style. However, Wolds Shutters are always on hand to advise on colour match painted options and our range of light and dark stains, which will enhance the natural grain of the wood.
