Shutters

There's nothing quite like the look of a beautiful, bright window decorated with elegant, perfect-fit shutter blinds! Our made-to-measure window shutters (UK) can fit almost any window size or shape and are available in a wide range of materials, styles, and colours. While different types of shades have their perks, any of them would not only complement the interior but would also save resources and money in the long run. Here you'll find more details about the Lex Blinds assortment and valuable insights from our experts.

Made-to-Measure Shutters for Every Home & Interior Style

While there are many efficient ways to control the light and level of privacy (curtains, blinds, etc.), this one is undoubtedly one of the most elegant and resource-saving options. Long-lasting and easy-maintenance materials allow the creation of solid shields and unique decor details. Just imagine that refraction of rays that inspires modern, sophisticated looks.

Our handmade products:

• Offer an intelligent light control solution. With different types of shields, you can get the desired lighting effect and amount.
• Allow you to enhance your privacy. Important to mention that you can improve privacy without sacrificing natural light flow by independently operating the louvres for the top and bottom panels.
• Effectively regulate temperature. The insulation properties of high-quality indoor window shutter blinds create a barrier to the cool outside air entering the room through the window, whilst in the warmer months, these shades effectively reflect the heat from the sun’s rays.
  
• Reduce external noises. Because of the solid materials and well-thought-out designs, those shades shut out the traffic or neighbourhood noises outside your property.
• Create an original interior style. We offer a variety of custom shutter blinds styles for you to choose from. Our extensive assortment means that there are styles to match every interior. There are more than 40 colours to choose from, not to mention the possibility of picking any custom colour you prefer.
  
  
  

We have plenty to offer if you want to create a stylish yet resource-efficient space. Not only do the shields look stylish, but they also have high insulation properties that allow efficient temperature and noise control. Those who want to block the light thoroughly can combine custom-made shutters with our blackout shades or consider outdoor shields.

There's a reason “made-to-measure shutter blinds UK“ is among the most searched window treatments online queries today.

Internal Window Shutters – Choose Your Favourite Style

Ease of use, efficient light, temperature, and privacy control – perks you get despite the type of shields you choose. However, some of the styles have specific features that might simply provide the functions needed. Therefore, further on, we'll discuss different shades and their subtleties so you can better understand the perks.

Café Style Shutter Blinds

Those are designed to cover the lower section of your window. This design offers a high level of privacy while allowing natural light to flow into the room. Thus, the main perks are unobstructed light entry and customised lower section shield height to follow the final interior vision while maintaining the desired level of privacy. Regarding pricing, this one might be the most cost-effective choice of all.
 

Tier on Tier Shutters

Tier-on-tier type allows you to control the top louvre section of your shades independently from the lower, giving you complete control of light and privacy. As there are two different sections, you can easily experiment with interior looks and let in as much light as you want. Also, you have a full closure option (unlike with café-style shields).

One more critical factor for those living in a small apartment is shutter blinds of two parts are perfect in case of unforeseen obstruction (e. g., you need more furniture that blocks the bottom part of the window).

Full Height Custom Shutters

As the name implies, full-height shades are designed to dress the full height of the window. While you might also see full-height solid shutters (without slats), it might be best to choose louvres if you are looking for efficient light control despite it being day or night. In our assortment, those are available with a mid-rail, enabling the shutter blades to be operated separately.

This type of shield is easy to install and might be the one that reduces unwanted noises most efficiently of all. A few more perks worth considering are maximum privacy and light reduction possibilities, also, more insulation for more efficient temperature control.

Internal Plantation Shutters for Windows

Are you looking for an elegant yet highly efficient solution for large windows? Then, you should look at plantation shutter blinds. Compared to traditional options, these are characterised by wider louvres, typically measuring between 2.5 and 4.5 inches. That's why plantation window shades work best with medium to large windows.

Wide, typically wooden plantation blinds for windows are ideal for larger openings or spaces where maximising natural light is a priority. Their wider louvres allow for greater control over light filtration and offer a clearer, unobstructed view of the outdoors. While modern and functional plantation window shutters cost more, they provide efficient control of temperature and allow for savings in resources and money in the long run.

Shaped Indoor Window Shutters

Regarding shapes, there are many unique interior ideas, not to mention architectural subtleties. Therefore, one more type we would like to discuss is shaped options. For instance, non-standard windows could be a choice to create accents, but sometimes the building itself dictates the shapes and possibilities. Our experts are highly skilled and can install shutter shades on various casements (regular, triangle, arch, etc.).

Perfect-Fit Shutters

As with some of our other window treatment solutions, we can also offer a Perfect-Fit option here. As the name implies, Perfect-Fit louvres are designed to fit precisely within the window frame without the need for drilling or screwing into the window or surrounding walls. Also, such a solution means better insulation as they leave minimal gaps between shades and window frames. While it’s not really about specific style shades, it’s an option worth mentioning.

There's no need to know the exact type now – our specialists will advise you on the most efficient choice regarding style and functionality. You can easily book the consultation online. By the way, depending on the material you choose (MDF, hardwood, or UPVC), you'll get up to a 5-year warranty for our custom products.

Materials of Custom Indoor Shutters

Choosing the perfect material is not just about matching the design and creating a unique ambience in your space; it's also about understanding the different functional qualities, maintenance needs, and pricing options each material offers. Let's briefly look at some of the most popular materials – some insights might help you navigate through these choices.

Wooden shutters   

Wooden window treatments are no doubt exceptional. They offer unique design features and some functional qualities worth mentioning. Here are a few highlights:

• Natural Elegance: Wooden louvres exude timeless charm and warmth, adding a touch of natural elegance to any room. They provide a classic, upscale look and are perfect to enhance both – traditional and contemporary interiors.
• Customizable Finishes: Wooden panels offer exceptional versatility in finishes – painted or stained in various colours; they allow homeowners to tailor them to their specific design preferences.
• Durability and Insulation: We all know that wood is a naturally durable material that provides excellent insulation (regarding temperature and sound). Therefore, you can create a timeless interior and regulate indoor temperature efficiently, reducing energy costs.

So, if you're looking to create a stylish yet timeless interior and make your spaces more energy-efficient, this might be your choice.

UPVC shutters

UPVC, or unplasticized polyvinyl chloride, is a versatile and durable material widely used in window treatments and, generally, the furniture industry. From exceptional moisture resistance to low maintenance, there’s more to it than contemporary design. So, here are a few perks to keep in mind:

• Moisture Resistance: UPVC louvres are highly moisture-resistant, making them an ideal choice for humid environments. This material prevents warping, cracking, or peeling, ensuring the louvres maintain their appearance over time.
• Low Maintenance: These panels require minimal maintenance – UPVC is very easy to clean. A simple wipe-down with a damp cloth is usually enough to keep them looking fresh.
• Affordable and Durable: This one is a cost-effective option that doesn't compromise on durability. High-quality UPVC window treatments are robust and resistant to fading and wear. It sounds like a perfect choice for busy households or high-traffic areas, right?

These unique features make UPVS louvres an ideal choice for use in high-humidity environments like kitchens and bathrooms without risk of warping or damage. This long-lasting and low-maintenance solution will complement different styles of interiors.

MDF shutters   

MDF stands for Medium-Density Fiberboard – a popular engineered wood product made from wood fibres combined with resin and wax under high pressure and heat. MDF is widely used in the window treatments industry as its solid and smooth surface provides a consistent finish, ideal for painting or veneering. The main highlights of this choice (often referred to as faux wood shutters) might be these:

• Budget-Friendly Quality: MDF products offer the elegant look of traditional wooden panels but at a more affordable price point.
• Consistent Finish and Colour: MDF louvres are excellent for achieving a cohesive look throughout the home – they stand out with smooth, consistent finishes without the variations found in natural wood. Also, MDF is easy to adjust to various interiors regarding design options.
• Strength and Stability: MDF is also known for its strength and stability, making it resistant to warping. If you have larger windows where maintaining shape and structure over time is crucial, these will work perfectly. Also, they are easier to maintain than natural wood.
  
  

It seems like a perfect solution for those looking for stylish products at a more affordable price.

Whether you opt for the natural elegance of wooden louvres, the moisture-resistant durability of UPVC, or the cost-effective strength of MDF, each of the above-discussed materials brings different advantages to meet diverse lifestyles and aesthetic preferences.

Custom Shutters for Different Rooms – How to Choose?   

Internal window shutter blinds are a highly versatile option for windows in various spaces within your home, adapting to each room's unique ambience and functionality. These exceptional window treatments, often mistakenly considered to be just an aesthetic detail of spacious living rooms, can actually meet specific needs and aesthetics of each space (bedroom, kitchen and even bathroom!), enhancing both – its beauty and practicality.

Internal Window Shutters for Bathroom

When choosing window treatments for this space, it’s crucial to opt for materials resistant to moisture and humidity. UPVC louvres are perfect for creating a cosy ambience and avoiding warping and mould. They are not only durable but also easy to clean. Aesthetically, lighter colours can help make the space feel larger and more refreshing. However, deeper tones will look great to create a bathroom interior accent.

An idea of matching different window treatments: Pair these home shutters with sheer curtains for added privacy and enjoy a soft, spa-like ambience.

Internal Shutters for Bedroom   

Regarding your bedroom – a place where quality rest is a priority – privacy and light blocking are key considerations. Thicker materials like wood or MDF are excellent for creating not only a sophisticated look but also a dark, quiet sleeping environment. Larger louvres offer easier light control when needed.

An idea of matching different window treatments: Elegant blackout curtains or outdoor shades paired with solid plantation shutter blinds will add an additional layer for optimal light control and insulation. While curtains are perfect to soften the look, minimalist exterior blinds will add functionality without clutter. If you want to bring more romantic softness, add light sheer curtains that will be perfect for the daytime.

Made-to-Measure Shutters for Living Room

Now, here the main focus is often on aesthetics and light control. Wooden or MDF internal shutter blinds will add warmth and elegance. Adjust the louvres and efficiently control sunlight and privacy to your liking – create a light-filled space or a slightly dimmed, cosy atmosphere.

An idea of matching different window treatments: Layering louvres with drapes can create a more sophisticated, layered look and offer additional light control.
    

Custom Made Shutters for Kitchen

Easy to clean and resistant to heat and moisture – these are the essential requirements for kitchen window coverings. Materials like UPVC or treated wood are ideal as they can withstand kitchen environments and are simple to maintain. Choose styles that allow for quick adjustment of light and airflow.

An idea of matching different window treatments: A few window treatments are rarely combined in the kitchen area because of practicality matters. However, if you want a touch of elegance, consider combining indoor shutter blinds with a valance for a cosy, homely feel (while still keeping the area practical).

While made-to-measure shutter blinds are frequently chosen for their aesthetic appeal as interior accents, their functionality extends far beyond mere decoration. They are highly adaptable window additions, ideally suited for various rooms, each offering unique requirements.
