Do shutters provide complete blackout from sunlight?
No. In truth, nothing can as light will always find a way in without sealing a room completely. However, some shutters will provide more blackout than others and so can go a long way towards achieving this function. Give us a call to find out more.
Do I need to clean my shutters and blinds?
Regular light dusting with a microfibre cloth or duster will generally suffice. You can also use the brush attachment for vacuum cleaners to remove dust and dirt. For the corners you can use an old toothbrush where dirt is harder to remove. As ever, dry dusting regularly will negate the need for wet cleaning which requires more work. Avoid using water on wooden shutters as this can warp and or tarnish the wood.
What’s the difference between plantation shutters and colonial shutters?
Essentially nothing, both these terms are generally used to describe the same products. Historically there is a slight difference between the two with traditional and older colonial shutters having shorter and narrower louvres unlike the wider elliptical louvres of the plantation style. Nowadays you have the choice of both manufacturing techniques.

Normally our expert team can complete an install on an average size house in one working day. We will give a more accurate estimation after your order giving you plenty of notice.
