Whole-House Full Height Shutter Install in Stourbridge with Split Tilt

This one was a satisfying job to walk out of. A homeowner in Stourbridge asked us to do every window in the house in one go: living room bay, office bay, kitchen, utility room, and the bedrooms. The whole place is now fitted in the same range: full height white plantation shutters with the split-tilt feature set at the 50% point on every window.

When you do a full house at once everything reads as one piece, which is the look most people are after. The matching colour, matching frame profile and matching louvre size in every room is what carries that off, and it is easier (and usually a little cheaper) to do all at once than to come back and fit one room at a time.

A quick word on Split Tilt 50%

Split tilt is a small piece of engineering with a big quality-of-life payoff. Instead of every louvre on the panel tilting together, the panel has a hidden divider partway up. The louvres above that divider tilt independently of the louvres below, so you can:

• Close the bottom half for privacy from the pavement or the neighbours, and tilt the top half open for daylight.
• Tilt the bottom half open to see the garden while sitting at the kitchen table, and close the top half to kill the sun glare on the TV.
• Mix and match through the day without ever fully covering the window.

Split tilt at 50% means the divider sits exactly halfway up the panel, so the upper and lower halves are equal. Useful in pretty much every room, but particularly good in kitchens, living rooms and ground-floor bedrooms where privacy and light have to be juggled all the time.

The living room bay

The living-room bay is where the split-tilt really earns its keep. With the TV against the side wall, the homeowner wanted to be able to kill afternoon glare on the screen without sitting in the dark or losing the view down the garden. Here it is with everything closed for the evening film, and again with the top louvres open to let daylight in during the day.

The office bay

Same approach in the home office, just at a different scale. Four-panel bay, full height white, split-tilt set 50%. The closed louvres give a calm backdrop for video calls without losing any of the natural light.

The front bedroom bay

The bedroom bay is where you really see the split-tilt sitting at 50%. Two of the panels are hinged open here to show the configuration: each panel swings on its own hinge so you can fold the lot back against the side reveals when you want the window properly open in summer.

The utility room

Even a small room like this benefits from a proper full-height panel rather than a half-window café-style. Split-tilt makes it useable: the bottom stays closed for privacy from the side passage, the top tilts open for daylight over the worktop.
