The trouble with a square bay

Curtains struggle in a square bay. Its tight corners leave little room for a track, so you get a messy look or gaps down the sides. Shutters fix straight to the window frame instead, and every window in the bay gets panels sized to it, wide, narrow or tall.

You find square bays at the front of a house, in the living room, the sitting room or a front bedroom. All that glass brings in plenty of light, and it puts you on show to the street as well. Shutters let you angle the louvres for daylight, then shut them as the evening comes in.

Tidy lines
No poles, no tracks, no fabric. The panels follow the shape of the bay and nothing else.
Kept from the street
Angle the louvres and the room stays bright while passers-by cannot see in.
Kinder to allergies
Shutters do not gather dust the way curtains do, and a wipe keeps them clean.

What do you mean by square bay shutters?

They are shutters for a square or box bay, with panels made for every window in it. The bay gets a clean finish right round, with control over light and privacy.

Which style works best in a square bay?

Solid panel, café style, tier-on-tier and full height all work. It comes down to how private you want the room and how you like the light, and we help you decide at your free design visit.

Will shutters fit my square bay?

Yes. Each window in the bay has its sizes and angles taken, and the shutters are made to them. Nothing is cut down from a standard size, and you will not find fillers or cover strips.

Are they right for a Victorian or Edwardian house?

Yes, they are popular in both. The original bay stays on show, and you get modern control over the light and privacy in your front room.

Do they help with heat?

They help. With a layer between you and the glass, more heat stays in through the winter and the room keeps cooler on summer days.

Which materials can I choose?

Pick from five ranges. Hollywood is water-resistant ABS, Montana premium hardwood, Boston has hardwood panels, and Seattle and Georgia are engineered wood.

Are they easy to clean?

Yes. A dust, then a wipe over with a damp cloth. They do not trap dust the way curtains do, which helps anyone at home with allergies.

Angled bay shuttersEvery face of your bay gets measured on its own, and its panels are made to that exact angle, so the shutters wrap round the bay without a break. Curved bay shuttersOn a bow window a curtain track has no corner to sit in. We make a set of shutters for every window on the curve, and the bay holds its shape while you decide how much light comes in. Tier-on-tier shuttersOne set of panels sits above another, and each works apart from the other, the way a stable door does. Open the top for the light and leave the bottom shut so the street cannot see in.
