Bring a piece of continental living to your home in Manchester with our amazing bespoke Café style shutters. Now you might be wondering, ‘what are Café style shutters?’ They’re exactly what you would see on stroll through, Paris, Barcelona or anywhere with those lovely street side café’s ….Hence the name! They are becoming ever more popular with our Manchester and Cheshire based customers because they look great in traditional Victorian houses. In addition to this, they’re becoming more widely used in coffee shops, bakers, patisseries across the UK. They are a grand choice for houses where there is an issue of passers-by looking into your property, you are able to stop them and still have the natural light coming through the top of the window. We have had customers say that a full height shutter can take away a design of a room, where café style can add a more chic, cosmopolitan look. Although we would naturally measure your café shutter to match the transoms of your windows, there are options for you decide on the height preferred.

This shutter range is high quality and durable and available in 4 slat sizes,13 paints options, and with a choice of 4 control rod options. The outer bones of the shutter (frame, rails, and stiles) are constructed from Paulownia hardwood with ultra-durable aluminium core running through each of the polyvinyl shutter slats. This makes it significantly longer lasting than many other entry level shutters on the market. Built to last, these shutters are strong and will age well with time.
Paulownia wood has a fine and knot free grain which makes it the perfect hardwood for shutters. Available in our full range of options – 13 smooth paints & 11 smooth wood stains. We can also supply Paulownia in 4 Limewash finishes. A Limewash finish clearly exposes the woods deeper grain. If your décor is rustic or you like a driftwood appearance then Limewash could be the finish option for you. Although it’s a hardwood Paulownia is approx. 1/3 lighter in weight when compared to other hardwoods. This makes it an excellent choice for Tier on Tier shutters or wider openings. It’s great for the environment too. A single plantation can be harvested several times, providing a sustainable, renewable source of timber. The Paulownia shutter range has a scalloped style Clearview rod which is designed to allow slat operation without any strain on the wood slats. The range offers all 4 rod control options (Central, Off set, Clearview and Hidden)
Shaped shutters, Tracked shutters and Solid shutters are also available in Paulownia wood.
Fast growing Basswood has a smooth & even grain making it an ideal choice for painted shutters. This premium wood is heavier and harder than Paulownia wood. It is our recommendation for high traffic areas or in a setting where shutters will undergo a lot of handling by different people. Available in all slat sizes and shutter styles except Solid shutters.
