Most homeowners chose French doors leading to a patio to give themselves the maximum amount of light possible. We want to feel like we’re living outside even when we’re sat inside, protected from the elements. Having a window dressing that allows us to enjoy the light while still having privacy is naturally an incredibly popular option. With patio window shutters, you get the best of both worlds.
They’re Affordable – one of the biggest misconceptions about window shutters is that they’re expensive. Here at Diamond Shutters, we tell our clients that statement isn’t exactly true.
While our window shutters are bespoke and made to measure, we do our best to produce, fit and install your window shutters for the most affordable price possible. There are, of course, many companies out there who offer to make your window shutters based on your measurements and then leave you to install them.
DIY installation may sound like a reasonable way to save money, but believe us, it is not. Measuring precisely and installing a shutter is a tricky process that should be handled by a professional.
We have lost count of the number of times we have been called to correct a DIY shutter installation, making the entire process much more costly for the unfortunate customer than if they had contacted us from the outset.
They Disguise Door Handles – if there’s one thing we all wish we could change or hide about our French doors, it’s the unsightly handles that seem to stick out. However, with patio shutters, you can hide the door handles but still access them as and when you need them.
Every door and window are different, so having our team visit your home to measure the windows is the best approach for us to advise on the most suitable shutters for your French doors.
They Offer Extra Insulation – if your doors are old and prone to draughts, installing window shutters will give you an extra layer of insulation. This reduces heat loss and keeps as much warmth in your home as possible. This will save you on your energy bills in the long run.
They Prevent Pets & Children Going Outside – So you want the windows open but want to keep the kitten inside? It’s a hot day, and you want to let a breeze in without worrying if your toddler is going to make a dash for it out onto the patio? Then patio shutters are the ideal option.
They not only allow you to enjoy the light and cool breeze indoors, but they also provide an often-needed safety barrier. Additionally, we can install a latch system high up on the shutters to prevent little ones from opening them
