Bi Fold & French Door Shutters
Barlow’s tip
We would always recommend a track system for door shutters. The track makes opening and closing your shutters smooth and effortless.
5 SIMPLE STEPS TO YOUR PERFECT WINDOW SHUTTERS
Step 1: What style of Window Shutter would you like?
Would you like the shutters to cover all of your window or just the bottom section?
Step 2: What size of vanes would you like?
There are 3 vane widths 63mm, 76mm and 89mm. The wider the slat means less of them in your shutter which means more light will enter your room when the vanes are open.
Bedroom Shutters
Barlow’s tip
Shutters are a great option for privacy in your bedroom. They also have an option of having a blackout blind built into the shutter frame. So you have the best of both worlds, the stylish look of the shutters and one of the best blackout blinds available.
Step 3: How do you want to operate your window shutters?
2 different styles to open and close the vanes.
Option 1 is central tilt rod on the front of your shutter, or Option 2 is Clearview with no visible rod, you simply twist the vanes to open and close.
Step 4: Do you want your panel split?
Each panel of your shutter can be split into independent sections, so if you want to close the bottom part of your shutter for privacy whilst leaving the top section open to allow light in, that’s no problem.
Bay Window Shutters
Barlow’s tip
The perfect choice for bay windows. You will have none of the gaps that you would have with any other type of window covering as the bay window shutter frames and made to measure to the size and shape of your bay window.
Step 5: What colour would you like?
The simple part.
Big decisions made and you are now 95% of the way towards your dream shutters, the other 5% is to do with how they are fitted and that something we can help with.

Kitchen and Bathroom Shutters
Barlow’s tip
The material your kitchen or bathroom shutters are made of is really important for a long lasting shutter. Fauxwood or Vinyl Shutters are the perfect choice. They are both waterproof and will look great for years to come.
