Choosing shutters for your home
Start with what you want the shutters to solve. Light and sleep problems point to bedrooms; heat problems usually point to west- and north-facing glass; security concerns point to ground-floor and rear openings that can't be seen from the street.
Then think about operation. Manual shutters suit openings you rarely change; electric shutters suit large windows, hard-to-reach openings and rooms where you'll raise and lower them every day.
- Which rooms need blackout, privacy or heat control
- Manual or electric operation for each opening
- Colour to suit your home's exterior
- Whether you'd like to see the shutters on your home first
