LUXURY BLINDS AND SHUTTERS SINCE 1945

"PROBABLY THE CHEAPEST, DEFINITELY THE BEST"

Street-Level Privacy, Daylight Above

Cafe style shutters cover only the bottom half of your window, keeping prying eyes out while inviting daylight in from the top. It is a smart choice for street-facing rooms, bay windows and kitchens where you want natural light without sacrificing privacy.

Handmade to measure and finished to suit your scheme, they bring a neat architectural look from inside and out and pair beautifully with curtains or a simple pelmet if you want night-time blackout.

Materials, Colours and Louvres — Set the Perfect Top Line

Choose solid polyvinyl for moisture-prone spaces or classic painted or stained wood for living areas. We offer a broad colour palette so frames, panels and hinges sit neatly with your décor.

Pick from four louvre sizes to match your window scale — narrower for subtle screening, wider for brighter rooms and greater views. Tilt options include hidden tilt for a minimalist look, clearview side tilt, or a centre tilt rod for traditional charm.

We set the café top height to align with sightlines, transoms or mullions for a balanced facade — ideal for bays and townhouse front rooms.

Bright Rooms, Cosy Evenings and Neat Street Views

Tilt the lower louvres for privacy while leaving top glazing open to the sky — great for kitchens, dining rooms and home offices on busy streets. Add curtains or a simple roman blind if you want full evening blackout.

Our surveyors will align the café height, advise on louvre size and tilt style, and ensure handles and vents remain accessible for everyday use.
