One of our teams of fitters were In Sidcup Kent today to install our made to measure plantation shutters in a stunning recently renovated Victorian home.
The customer was interested in a design that would compliment the history of the property whilst still allowing for a contemporary style.
After an initial consultation with our surveyor, we advised on an 89mm slat size with a hidden tilt mechanism to maximise the amount of natural light that could flow through the house.
The customer opted for a pure white colour throughout the house to keep with design and allow for a clean modern look throughout.
We and the customer were delighted with the end result and are planning on adding more shutters to their home in the near future.
Our team was in Chislehurst today fitting a stunning 1930s semi detached house. This house was one that we were excited to get fitted because of the unusual window shapes throughout the house.
The special shaped circular window in one of the bedrooms is an unusual window that we rarely have the pleasure of fitting. Window shutters are a great solution to dress any special shaped window as we are able to design the shutters to suit your window whilst keeping the character of the opening.
The customers decided on pure white in colour and a 76mm slat size with a hidden tilt rod mechanism this is our most popular combination, and we think works really well in most houses.
The two bays upstairs were full height, this was decided by the customers as they wanted to keep as much privacy as possible in the bedrooms. However they decided that they preferred the look of café style shutters in the downstairs lounge which we thought was a great choice as it allows more natural light into the house.
One of our fitting team was in Bexleyheath today fitting a stunning bungalow with two perfect five sided bays on the front of the house. The customer decided on an off centred tilt rod in order to not clash with the lead light windows which we thought worked perfectly.
The customer decided that the pure white colour would suit their home the most as they were not set on the paint in the bedroom and decided that a pure white shutter would match most colours and is a timeless additive to the home. They also decided on a 76mm slat size as they felt that this style of panel suited the size of their windows perfectly.
The difference between Diamond Shutters and a lot of other shutter companies is that we always use custom angled bay posts. On this particular bay the angle of the bay posts was set at 157 degrees this ensures a perfect fit that is bespoke to their bay rather than 5 individual frames fixed together. Bay windows are notorious for being out of square and level, so we ensure our fitting teams have trim in the same colour that you have chosen so that they are able to scribe trim in around and ensure there is no light bleed and that the job is left as neat as possible.
Today our fitters had the pleasure of fitting this stunning new build modern house in Sidcup, most new builds have straight openings rather than bay windows and this house was the same.
The customers decided that they wanted an off-centre tilt rod with a 76mm slat size, this is not seen very often so we were excited to see how it suited the house and as you can see it did not disappoint.
The bi-folding doors at the back of the property was fitted with a track system, this is an extremely stylish way to cover larger areas of openings when installing shutters. They also fold into one another to stay unobtrusive into the room.
A tracked system is also an extremely versatile product and can be used in various ways. Not only can they be used for window shutters as seen in this case but can also be used as room dividers and wardrobe doors.
