What does "custom made" mean?

Timbershades has each Plantation Shutter or Blind made from scratch to suit your window or door. We have one of our Sales Team do an initial measurement to provide you with a quote. Then in most situations, one of our fitters will come to do a check measure. This is down to the millimetre and a great deal of experience and expertise is required to deliver the best result. These measurements are then checked and sent to our manufactures who make the Blind or Shutter and in 97% of all jobs, it will fit perfectly into your door or window.

Why are there different blades sizes and shapes in Plantation Shutters and Timber Venetian Blinds?

The traditional Plantation Shutter blade had a Flat profile with a rounded edge. Now the more popular blade would be the Elliptical or Aerofoil Blade. These blades are thicker in the middle and narrower at the edge. In practical terms, the functionality of the Shutter is not affected much by the shape of the blade. The Blade size in both Plantation Shutters and Timber Venetians comes down to a matter of personal choice. Again the degree of privacy and light block is not greatly affected by the size of the blade. The openness and outlook is more controlled by the blade width. Some think a smaller blade gives a more traditional look, but the decision is up to you. Our sales team carry samples of the different blade options and finishes to help with your decision.
