Caf Style Shutters

Café Style shutters are ideal for ground level windows and town houses, Café style leaves the top of the window un-shuttered, using only shutters for the bottom part.
A great advantage of this style is that it maximises light whilst providing privacy.
Please take a look into the various installs we have carried out to see if Café Style shutters is the right solution for your windows.
Café Style shutters have enjoyed a recent increase in popularity, due to their versatility and unusual but beneficial balance between privacy and increased natural lighting. The fact that only the bottom half of the window is covered means that an increased amount of light can enter the property versus a more traditional shutter installation. For homeowners on a busy street, Café Style shutters provide privacy without compromising on light. This is just one of the many advantages of these type of shutters, so let’s examine some of the other benefits below
Bay windows look fantastic and are a much-admired feature of many properties, but it can be quite a challenge to find suitable window coverings that fit properly and look good. Because café style windows are fitted individually to each window in the bay, and only cover the lower window, they are the perfect solution. Unlike Curtains or nets, these shutters look modern, provide total flexibility, ensure sufficient light can enter the property and will last for many years.
Café Style shutters as their name suggests originated in French café’s where they provided the diners with some privacy, whilst enabling them to watch the world go by as they dined. In townhouses, Victorian or Edwardian properties, café style shutters, provide a sophisticated and quaint look, that can make your property stand out from the rest of the street.
Although most customers originally think of shutters for the front of their property, when introduced to the idea of a cafe style shutter for the bathroom, many of our clients love the idea.

Some people simply like to have the option of curtains in their rooms, due to the softening effect that curtains can bring. With more traditional plantation style shutters, adding curtains in the same room could look strange and cluttered, but this does not apply to café style shutters. A nice set of full-length curtains that hang over these smaller style shutters can produce an elegant appearance, with a touch of class.
