Tier-on-tier shutters split into two tiers
One 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.

Made for front rooms and bays
You get two tiers of panels, and each one opens without the other. Fold the upper tier back first thing and the morning sun comes in, while the bottom tier stays shut and the room stays private from the pavement.
That suits bay windows, ground-floor rooms and anything facing the road, and the style sits well in a Victorian, Georgian or Edwardian house. The louvres in each tier still tilt, so you can keep adjusting the light through the day.
Bright but not on show
With the lower tier shut and the upper one open, you have daylight and nobody looking in from the street.
Fresh air, kept private
Fold back the top tier, open the window behind it and leave the bottom tier closed.
Tilt in each tier
Both tiers have louvres that tilt, so you can take the glare off a screen or tone down strong sun.

Questions we get on tier-on-tier shutters
Not answered here? Ring 08707 545 300 or bring it up at your free design visit. We are open 7 days, 9am to 6pm.
What does tier-on-tier mean?
It means two sets of panels, one stacked on the other. Each tier opens by itself, the same as a stable door, so the top can be open with the bottom shut.
How is it different from full height?
A full height panel opens in one piece. Tier-on-tier lets the top and bottom open apart, so you have more say over light, privacy and fresh air from morning to evening.
Can I have it in a bay window?
Yes, and bays are among the most popular places for it. Every window in the bay gets panels made for it, with the tops open right round the bay and the bottoms closed if you like.
Is it a good choice for a room on the street?
Yes. Plenty of people pick tier-on-tier for front rooms and ground-floor windows. Keep the lower tier shut and passers-by cannot see in, then open the upper tier to keep the room light.
Will it look right in a period house?
It is a popular choice in Victorian, Georgian and Edwardian homes. It sits well with the original features and still gives you the light control you expect from a modern shutter.
Which colours and louvre sizes can I have?
Any colour in the range you pick, and louvres from 47mm up to 114mm (Boston does not make 114mm). Samples of every range come with us to your free design visit.
How much looking after do they need?
Hardly any. An occasional dust and a wipe with a cloth keeps the panels and louvres working.
