Plantation Shutters for a beautiful narrowboat home Posted on 18 Apr 16:15 , 0 comments
Can you install shutters on a boat? Yes!
We recently supplied plantation shutters for a beautiful narrowboat home in West Yorkshire. With our DIY self-install shutter option, you can order the same high quality shutters as our measure & fit product ranges, but for you to measure and install yourself. Having supplied shutters previously for this customers house, they knew they could take on the DIY challenge and decided they wanted to put shutters on all of the windows of their boat. We may be biased but we think plantation shutters an excellent option for a window dressing on a boat! They are fixed in place making them safe and a hugely appropriate window treatment in this setting.
They selected our Antigua MDF shutters, which are our most popular shutter range. The Antigua range is both affordable but highly durable too! It is available in 6 different colours. The client chose silk white with a central traditional silk rod in a 47mm louvre size – due to the little size of the windows our smallest louvre range was advisable.
The installed shutters look fantastic, they are neat, practical and look stylish too. Will provide much needed privacy but also warmth in the winter months and shade when its sunny too! They are also highly durable and should stand the test of time.
Supply only is a great option if you are wanting to make a saving on your shutters, as you will not have the installation costs, and because you are taking on the measuring too, the product price is discounted too.

This article remains at its original URL as part of our complete journal archive. Its subject connects to the same specialist guidance our surveyors provide today: considering the window proportions, room, privacy requirements, light and the right product material before confirming a design.
A considered approach
Shutters are made to order, so good decisions begin with careful measuring and a clear understanding of how the room is used. Full height, café style and tier-on-tier panels each manage light and privacy differently, while bay windows, special shapes and wide openings need their own design response.
Our team can show you the current range of materials, colours, louvre sizes and hardware during a free home survey.
For confident DIY customers, selected shutter styles can also be measured and configured online. More complex bay, shaped and tracked installations are best discussed with our professional measure-and-fit team.
