Café Style Shutters are a more flexible option for adding both style and functionality to your windows. The advantage of plantation shutters is that they are a sturdy choice built into the recess. Whether you want to keep your home warm by closing the shutters or cool a space down by opening them, the plantation shutters will suit each need.
These shutters function similarly to the traditional Full Height Shutter but they do not reach the entire way up to the top of the window, but instead leave a gap. They still feature horizontal ‘louvred’ slats across the panels. The plantation shutter is designed to allow these slats to tilt. This allows control over how much light and air is allowed in, whilst still being as practical as they are stylish.
The main advantage of choosing Café Style over Full Height is that you allow more light in from above without sacrificing privacy or allowing glare at eye level. Stylistically it also partners perfectly with windows that are made up of a larger window and a smaller window above.
Here at Village Blinds and Shutters, we have different types of Café Style Shutters available for installation in your home. Each of these will help the shutter better meet your function or design needs. They are;
A central tilt rod is the traditional style for Café Style Plantation Shutters. This tilt rod is attached to the panel in the centre and runs vertically down the louvred slats. This ensures that when you move the slats they will all move together. Often this is a popular choice for more traditional style homes.
A hidden tilt is the more modern variation for a Café Style Plantation Shutter. Rather than having the tilt rod run down the centre, it is positioned at the backside of the panel. It performs the same function, ensuring the louvred slats move together. These have seen increasing popularity in more modern homes, but are often chosen simply for a preference of not having the tilt road easily accessible.
We have a range of paint options available for our shutters upon request. Just provide us with your RAL Colour number and we’ll paint your new shutters to suit your style.
