Once you’ve decided on the style you prefer, what do you do to select the style?
The first question to think about first is “Do you want my shutters to open completely or do I imagine that I’ll utilize the louvres to alter the light that enters the building”?
If you’d like to to open the window completely consider where the shutters can open. Is there any furniture near the window that could block the opening? Also, do you need to fold the shutters in two in order to permit this due to a wall to one end of your window. In truth, it is a matter of personal home and the look you’re aiming for.
There are many people who want Tier in Tier shutters with wide panels. However, this is typically not feasible since in the event that the highest tier is opened and the panels can become an obstruction to other things within the space. Therefore, the best option is to either fold them in two to ensure they do not interfere with the other room or go for the Full Height style where the panels will stay in their place. With a big Louvre (89mm or more) you will have plenty of light and visibility when they’re open.
