Full Height
Shutters
Covering the entire window opening, full height shutters are the most popular shutter. An optional divider rail offers independent control of the slats on the upper and lower sections, providing additional flexibility.
Full height shutters are window coverings that measure the full length of your window. Fitted as either a single louvred panel that can open and close on one or two hinges like a door, or as a concertina-effect which works best on large window or door areas, they’re the most popular plantation shutter style at Shutterly Fabulous, and for good reason.
Our full height shutters can be crafted with or without a mid-rail in place, giving you the option to have one half open and one closed for that extra level of flexibility and light control. The mid rail provides structural benefits to your shutters, acting as a central support for larger panel designs. However, some windows are better suited to a ‘hidden split’, without the mid-rail.
Looking for complete coverage of your window? Then full height shutters are the ideal choice. Popular in living spaces and bedrooms, full height shutters allow for optimal privacy and darkness when the slats are down, whilst opening them up allows natural light to stream in (without your home being in full view from the outside world).
Louvred full height shutters are a fabulous choice for those who enjoy a cosy, intimate atmosphere in the evening and a bright, airy feel during the day. With the slats closed, minimal light comes through, making them well suited to bedroom windows. That said, the option to have one half of the panel open and the other closed makes for ultimate privacy during the day: perfect for living and dining spaces.
Our full height shutters are designed for maximum impact on small, medium and large windows. For small windows less than 1m2, typically seen in bathrooms, full height shutters are advised. On a small window like this, fitting shutters that are shorter (like café style shutters) or split (like tier-on-tier shutters) look aesthetically out of place.
For medium-sized windows, opt for simple yet effective singular panels that cover the glass from top to bottom.
When looking for shutters for large windows, we’d recommend fitting a mid-rail, which adds an extra level of structural support to a full height shutter, reducing the risk of warping and guaranteeing a fitting that’s durable and long-lasting. Not only this, but mid-rails also allow for more versatility, as each half can be opened and closed independently of one another.
