Blackout Shutters


Get in touch

Blackout shutters combine the timeless elegance of plantation shutters with enhanced light control for a calmer, more comfortable home. Designed to significantly reduce unwanted light, they help create a darker environment that’s ideal for bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms. Stylish, practical and made to measure, blackout shutters bring privacy, insulation and a beautifully finished look to any space.

Key Benefits

True Darkness Without Losing the Shutter Look

A blackout blind fitted discreetly behind your shutters gives you the best of both worlds — the classic shutter style on the outside, and near‑total darkness when you need it. Industry standards typically range from 95% to 99%. It’s the ideal setup for bedrooms, nurseries and shift‑workers who want beautiful design without compromising on sleep quality.

 

Flexible Control for Day and Night

During the day, you can tilt the shutter louvres for soft, filtered light. At night, simply drop the blackout blind for full darkness. This layered setup gives you far more control than shutters or blinds alone, adapting to bright mornings, streetlights and everything in between.

A Neat, Hidden System That Fits Seamlessly

The blackout blind sits neatly behind the shutter frame, hidden from view and designed to work smoothly with your shutters. It’s a clean, discreet solution that adds insulation, reduces outside noise and keeps your window looking stylish — all while delivering serious performance.

Why Blackout Shutters Are So Popular

Blackout shutters are perfect for homeowners who want greater control over light, privacy and comfort without compromising on style. Their close-fitting design helps minimise light entering through the window, creating a darker and more restful environment day or night.

They’re especially popular in bedrooms, children’s rooms and home cinemas, where reducing outside light can improve sleep, relaxation and screen viewing. Alongside their blackout benefits, shutters also provide excellent insulation and help reduce noise from outside.

Whether your home is modern or traditional, blackout shutters offer a clean, elegant finish that complements every interior style.
