Full Height Split Tilt Shutters for a Five-Panel Curved Bay and Landing Window in Halesowen
A Curved Five-Panel Bay and a Narrow Landing Window
This Halesowen home had two windows fitted with full height shutters in Pure White with 76mm louvres and split tilt: a five-section curved bay in the living room, and a narrow single window with privacy glass at the top of the stairs. Both use a hidden tilt rod, so no control bar shows across the panels.
A bay at the front of a house looks straight onto the street, and this curved bay has five sections to dress instead of the usual three. Each section catches light at a different angle, which makes privacy and daylight harder to balance with a blind or curtain.
Why Split Tilt on Both Windows
Split tilt gives separate control of the top and bottom of each panel.
On the bay, the split sits at 1054mm on a 1490mm drop, so the top 436mm of every panel tilts independently of the lower section. The top louvres can stay open for daylight while the lower louvres are angled for privacy from the street.
On the landing window, the split sits at 727mm on a 1454mm drop, an even 50% split. This one was mainly for structural reasons: any shutter over 1370mm tall must have split tilt. As this window isn’t an opener, we put the split exactly halfway up.
What the Installation Gives the Customer
Every section of the bay can be set on its own, and the split means the top of each panel can stay open without opening the whole panel. That lets natural light into the living room while keeping privacy from the street.
The landing window was chosen because cars driving past at night would light up the whole upstairs landing, making it hard to sleep. With the shutter fitted, it now blocks out most of that light.

What they said
I'd recommend to anybody looking to get shutters done.
Great group of friends running a business.
They make the effort to talk through options available, recommend options for the space, and make it clear what to expect and are honest with timescales and process to get fitted.
They take their time to fit a quality product, and also made sure the rooms were left spotless.
I'd recommend to anybody looking to get shutters done. No hard sales pitch, no comission sales guy trying to upspec you, just a good set of lads running their business.
