Interior Plantation Shutters are the fastest growing product in the window covering market, with more than GBP25 million ($36 million) worth of shutters sold each year. On an average, four times more homeowners now choose shutters over other window coverings.
As one of the UK’s largest suppliers of made-to-measure blinds, Apollo’s shutters can be tailored to fit conventional and non-conventional window shapes, and color matched to customers’ requirements (wood stained or painted).
Apollo Blinds’ head of innovation Helen Kilvington says, Shutters have energy-saving properties and are extremely versatile, suiting most styles of room in modern loft apartments or Georgian town houses. But above all it’s that they’re currently considered simply more stylish than curtains or other shading options.
Apollo’s shutters come in a variety of styles, to fit any shape of window or door. Tier-on-tier shutters operate like a stable door, where one shutter sits on top of another and they open independently of each other. Bi-fold shutters are ideal for large windows and allow the shutters to be folded back. Full height shutters span the whole window to offer a seamless effect, while the cafe-style option just covers the bottom half of the window where screening is required to leave the top section exposed.
Apollo can also supply special shapes including arched or angled, full circle, triangular and sunburst shaped shutters. Prices start at GBP330 ($482) per square meter for custom-fitted fully lowered shutters in a choice of white, chalk white, soft white, dark roast, walnut, golden oak and natural colours.
