FAQs about Café-Style shutters
Find frequently asked questions relating to café-style shutters below, or explore our full library of FAQs for more information and advice.
Product Guidance
What are café-style window shutters?
Café-style shutters are window shutters that only cover the bottom pane of glass, leaving the top pane uncovered so sunlight can pass
through. Half-height shutters operate in the same way as full-height or tier-on-tier shutters, using a hinge mechanism to open and close. Cafe-
style window shutters are ideal for ground-floor rooms where you may feel overlooked from the outside but want to keep your living spaces bright
and airy.
Are café-style shutters a good option for box, bow or bay windows?
Absolutely, café-style shutters are an excellent choice for box, bow and bay windows. They offer essential privacy from individuals
passing by, all while maintaining a clear view of your home's distinctive windows and allowing natural light to illuminate your rooms. We
advise that you only attempt to install DIY café-style shutters on bay windows that have spaces between each pane and are situated within
separate recesses.
Can I pair café-style shutters with other window dressings?
Café-style shutters look fabulous when paired with traditional fabric curtains, roller blinds, or roman blinds. Our advice is to consider the overall aesthetic of
your home’s interior and choose styles that complement your design preferences. For example, minimalist designs may suit more modern décor
schemes, while patterned curtains or blinds would look incredible with maximalist interiors. For more design inspiration and tips, visit the
Make My Blinds Blog.
Measuring & Fitting
How long does it take to fit café-style shutters?
Our café-style window shutters are designed with quick and easy DIY installation in mind. Exactly how long it will take you to fit your shutters will depend on the size and number of shutters you plan to install (and whether you have any willing volunteers on hand to help). Our customer service team will be able to advise you on an estimated installation time when you place your order.
Do I need to do anything before fitting my window shutters?
To make the installation process as easy and safe as possible, we recommend that you remove any ornaments from your window ledges and move any nearby furniture to elsewhere in the room. Some customers also choose to give their window frames a good clean and dust prior to fitting their shutters.
Can I order free samples of your café-style window shutters to help me choose the best ones for my home?
