Café style vs full height shutters
Two styles that solve the same problem in opposite ways. One covers the part of the window people can see through, the other covers all of it.
Shutter styles
Café Style shutters
Covers the lower half of the window only. Maximum light, privacy where you need it.
Café style covers the lower section of the window, leaving the top open to the sky. It is the answer for street-level rooms where you want daylight without passers-by looking in.
Completely bespoke, so you decide exactly how much of the window is covered, we usually take the line from a glazing bar or the sill height of the room.
Best for
- Street-level rooms
- Kitchens
- Front-facing living rooms
