Total Darkness, Total Comfort (Day or Night)

If you struggle with early sunrises, streetlights, shift work or little ones who wake at first light, blackout shutters are the most effective solution you can buy — far outperforming blackout blinds, curtains, or stick-on window films.

Where blackout blinds still let in glow around the edges, blackout shutters are engineered differently. Solid, custom-measured panels sit snugly within their own frame, blocking light from every angle. The result?

Near-total darkness, improved sleep quality, and a calmer bedroom environment instantly.

But darkness is only half the story.

Blackout shutters also add insulation, noise reduction, privacy, and long-term durability. They’re perfect for bedrooms, nurseries, home cinemas, and anyone who prefers a cooler, quieter, more restful space.

Every set is made to measure, colour-matched to your décor, and fitted by our own in-house team for a flawless finish (never subcontracted). And with a full 5-year guarantee, they’ll keep performing year after year with zero maintenance.

Whether your home is a modern new-build, a Victorian terrace in town, or a countryside property near Bratton, blackout shutters deliver the perfect combination of comfort, style and complete light control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question about our blinds and shutters? Start here.

How do integrated blackout shutters differ from standard shutters?

Our integrated blackout shutters feature a discreet cellular blind sits behind the shutter panel. This system eliminates the light seepage that can occur between louvres, making them the ultimate choice for nurseries, shift workers, or home cinema rooms where total darkness is required.

Do shutters provide better insulation than standard blinds?

Yes. Shutters act as an extra layer of secondary glazing. When closed, they create a thermal barrier that helps reduce heat loss in the winter and reflects solar heat in the summer, making them one of the most energy-efficient window treatments available.

Why should I choose professional measuring over DIY?

Windows are rarely perfectly square, especially in older Wiltshire properties. Our professional measuring service accounts for "run-out," handle clearance, and recess depth. By letting us measure and fit, you eliminate the risk of ordering the wrong size and ensure a seamless, rattle-free installation.

Do you provide home consultations in Wiltshire and Somerset?

Yes, we provide a full 'shop-at-home' service across Westbury, Trowbridge, Frome, and the surrounding villages. We bring the samples to you so you can see the fabrics in your own natural light.

Do blackout shutters provide extra insulation?

Yes. The combination of the solid shutter panel and the integrated honeycomb blind creates a double thermal barrier. This significantly reduces heat loss in the winter and helps keep bedrooms remarkably cool during the summer months.
