At Village Blinds and Shutters, we take great pride in being a local shutter company providing made-to-measure Plantation Shutters which are manufactured right here in County Antrim.
Why Choose a Local Shutter Company?
There are many reasons why choosing a local shutter company can be the better option for everyone involved!
Support Local
When you use a local shutter company you are supporting a local business. This business hires local people providing jobs and a boost to the local economy. This means that the money you spend is going back into your local economy and not somewhere far away.
The UK government has been encouraging people to shop locally whenever possible as they look to save the high street and boost local job prospects in the UK.
Reduced Lead Times for Plantation Shutters
Another great reason to use a local shutter company is that we can reduce the time it takes to deliver and install your shutter. Rather than waiting for a shutter to travel over from England, Europe, or even further abroad, we simply drive your shutter up the road!
This also means that we are responsible for your order the whole way! We make your shutter, we deliver it, and we install it. This way you do not have to potentially mess about with third parties contracted by the manufacturer, everything is done by our own team!
Lower Environmental Impact
By having your shutters delivered by a local shutter company you can reduce the environmental impact of your purchase. This is because your shutter is not travelling a great distance to reach your home.
So rather than ordering a shutter that has to travel sometimes from the other side of the world just to your house, you can order one that only has to travel from our factory in Ballymena.
Local Quality
When you order from a local shutter company you can feel confident in the quality craftsmanship that goes into your order. Northern Ireland has a steep history of artisan skills going back many years. This tradition is continued today with the modern generation of skilled craftspeople.
We are so proud of our local craftsmanship that we even offer a 5 Year Guarantee on all orders to show our commitment to only providing the top-quality in Plantation Shutters.
A Local Service
As a local shutter company, we provide a bespoke service, taking great care through every stage to ensure you are satisfied.
Measuring for Plantation Shutters
We offer free home appointments to provide a professional measurement for your Shutters. During this time, you can discuss with our Design Consultant what your needs are in order to decide upon the best Shutters for you and your style.
Manufacturing Plantation Shutters Locally
After your professional measurements are taken it moves over to our team at our factory right here in County Antrim. They make each shutter by hand using state-of-the-art technology to create a precise made-to-measure shutter.
