Full-length shutters, which are sometimes known as full-height shutters, are one of the options which The Bespoke Shutter Company supplies and installs. This article looks at the specific advantages this particular style provides homeowners and businesses.
This article is a three-minute read.
One of the products which The Bespoke Shutter Company supplies and installs is a full-length window shutter. While some customers may prefer the tier-on-tier or café-style variety, there are plenty of reasons to opt for a shutter which covers the entire window.

1. You Get Total Privacy and Security
If you leave the shutters and their louvres closed, then no one can see in. This is particularly important for windows which face onto the street. You can just shut them either last thing at night, or first thing in the morning, while you go off to work and not have to worry about any unwanted prying eyes.
Installing full-length shutters is also a good way for businesses to ensure that no one can see any valuable stock or documents while the premises aren’t being used.
2. Their Simplicity
If you opt for a full-height shutter, then you have a single, simple window covering which is both clean and elegant, particularly if it’s painted in a neutral colour such as a shade of white.
This type of shutter may also be simpler to supply and install than some of the alternatives, as there aren’t usually any separate panels to worry about (unlike café-style or tier-on-tier), although this need not always be the case.
3. Their Light Control
If you have a streetlight directly outside your home, or have a south-facing window, then you may want to reduce the amount of light (both natural and artificial) that comes into a particular room. Having full-length shutters installed (and then leaving the louvres closed) is an easy way of achieving this, it’s particularly helpful in bedrooms where the occupant is a light sleeper.
One of the perceived disadvantages to this style of shutter is the fact that it’s not as flexible when it comes to light control and the adjustment of the louvres or panels. However, it may be possible to have a mid-rail or split to allow you to open the upper and lower slats independently of each other, giving you the functionality of tier-on-tier shutters. This will allow you privacy from the lower section but let in maximum light through the top.
At The Bespoke Shutter Company, we install made to measure shutters in Essex, Hertfordshire and London, so let us know your requirements.
4. Their Insulation and Sound Reduction
Because they cover the full length and breadth of any window, they should offer plenty of sound insulation over and above the other varieties. They can keep your home warmer in winter as well by blocking heat loss and cooler in summer by blocking heat gain. This can lead to lower energy bills.
5. Their Versatility
Full-length shutters are ideally suited to all the rooms in the home, and they can cover any style of window. However, they have other uses too – they can be used to cover patio doors, sliding doors and French windows, and can also act as room dividers.
