Made to fit bays, sashes and unusual openings
Plantation shutters in West London
Made-to-measure plantation shutters designed around the window, room proportions, privacy needs and everyday use.
When made-to-measure shutters make sense
A considered solution for privacy, light and proportion.
Plantation shutters work best when the panel layout follows the window behind it. STILE considers the reveal, meeting rails, bay angles and access to catches so the shutters sit naturally within the room while the sash windows remain practical to use.

How the work is approached
Survey, scope, then do the work properly.
- 1
Measure the opening
We record the window dimensions, reveal depth, meeting rails, bay angles and surrounding details that will affect the shutter layout.
- 2
Specify the configuration
The panel arrangement, louvre size, opening direction and finish are agreed around the window proportions and how the room is used.
- 3
Fit and check
The shutters are installed, aligned and adjusted, with access to the sash windows, catches and surrounding joinery checked before completion.

Questions about plantation shutters
The details worth understanding first.
Can shutters be fitted without stopping the sash opening?
Usually, with a layout planned around the reveal and window furniture. The survey checks opening clearances and access to catches before the panel arrangement is agreed.
Can shutters be coordinated with new sash windows?
Yes. Measuring them after the window specification is fixed avoids conflicts and lets the panel rails align more cleanly with the new joinery.
