More information about shutters

Keywest Shutters are proud to offer a varied range of interior shutters.

Originally designed for hotter climates, and placed on the outside of a building, nowadays these shutters are redesigned and positioned inside property for added benefits.

Where curtains and blinds are not possible or not adequate, or simply don’t fit the design of the room, interior shutters can be fitted. They also offer vesatility with regard to amount of light coming through the window, ventilation – offering fresh air into a room through an open window whilst retaining a closed shutter, and privacy.

Think about a nice warm day in the summer, when the sun is shining and the temperatures are rising. Perhaps your room is overlooked and you like to have the window open for that nice breeze. Why not have interior shutters. That way, you can have the window open as wide as you like. The louvred shutters would let in that lovely breeze to cool the room, and keep out the sun’s warm rays. It would also prevent anyone seeing into your room!

So, as you can see there are many advantages to interior shutters.

Now because they are interior, we have to offer a full range of different styles and colours to suit everybodys taste to match their decoration.

We can split them into ranges for ease.

The Fleming range is our most cost effective choice with a comptemporary look. It is constructed from an LVL core with LDF outer body which is polymer coated.

The Truman shutter is hardwood. They are lightweight which means, on wider openings, you may not need a top tracking system. The Truman range is recommended for tier on tier installations.

Our Duval shutter range is made from basswood – a high quiality hardwood. It has an engineered core to prevent warping.

You can this shutter in a variety of painted or stained finishes.

Need to acheive a really natural look? Then the Hemingway is for you. It comes in natural red cedar (and we do not offer shades or paint finishes as that would do the fabulous red cedar no justice!). These are popular in loft style apartments, barn conversions, or anywhere where a really natural feel is needed.

So what about wet or harsh environments? Well, we feel that wood and water are not always a good combination. So we introduced the Thermalite range where these are made from 100% synthetic material. They will not warp and are in a painted finish. These are ideal in environments such as wet rooms, showers, conservatories or anywhere where condensation may occur. These shutters will last a very long time.

So for everywhere else, there is our solid shutter range. For near total blackout, and greater security, solid shutters are very popular in both modern and traditional homes, houses, flats, apartments, hotels, just about anywhere!

So, I think you will agree, we have a shutter for any home anywhere.

Solid Shutters are very popular

Our solid shutters range are very popular at the moment.

These style of shutters were generally fitted to Victorian houses and the materials the shutters were made from were normally pine wood or cedar wood.

Over the years, the wood the Victorians used for their shutters has rotted away and the need to have them replaced is becoming more commonplace.

Our new replacement ranges of Hemingway Shutters and Truman Shutters are made to last a long time indeed.

The Hemingway range is made from red cedar while the Truman range is made from hardwood.

While the restoration of Victorian houses creates a demand for our shutters, the owners of other types of property often ask us what the advantages of shutters are to them.

There are many advantages.

The first and main one is security. The presence of solid shutters creates a very pleasent look and feel of the property whilst also providing the sense of security. The property looks secure and this can deter some undesireables.

Furthermore, properties or houses that are positioned near to a main road with heavy traffic flow can see noise levels reduced by the installation of solid shutters. We do not for one minute proclaim the shutters will get rid of all road noise, but it does help.

These types of solid shutters provide an authentic look and feel of the Victorian era. If you would like more information about this type of shutter then go to this link:
