Solid shutters have historically been used in Victorian homes as a practical shield against noise and a deterrent for burglars. They protected Victorian glass which was very thin and could easily be broken by a stray bird, which could then damage the interior of the house. Today, solid shutters are still used within Victorian houses as an important way to retain this heritage aesthetic. Our interior shutters are popular in Victorian houses because of this rich history, but also because they are bi-folded to allow complete opening or separation when required.
