Where do shutters work Effectively?
We’ve said it many occasions that the shutters we offer are an excellent product that can be put in on almost any window. It is just a matter of taking into consideration a few things mentioned previously. They’re also great to use on bay windows. The shape and angle of bay windows mean that there are gaps in the blinds when you install the majority of blinds. This can create privacy and light issues. Curtains may also block out a large portion of the windows, and thus the light, unless there’s enough space to cover the curtains to either or the other side. The advantage to shutters lies in the fact that they can fill the gaps and require smaller space than drapes. Another thing to remember is that shutter doors are typically closed when placed in bay windows, so be sure to select the appropriate size louver that meets your need for privacy and light.
Are they motorised?
The shutter industry had to remove motorisation due to the many issues. Motorisation technology has made huge improvements over the last two years, and as a result motorisation is back. This is definitely a benefit. Large, high-gable windows are now extremely popular, and shutters are a perfect fit for these windows. They were high enough to be difficult to reach which meant you couldn’t move them open or close them. With the shutters now able to be operated, this issue is no longer a problem and we anticipate that more shutters will be fitted in windows with gables in the near future.
Every shutter panel or door requires its own motor. The more shutter panels you have within your shutters the more motors will you require.
