Full Height Plantation Shutters in Coventry
Full height plantation shutters are the most popular style we fit, and probably the most popular style of shutter in the country. A single panel runs from the top of the window frame down to the sill, either as one piece or as a matched pair that meet in the middle. The result is a clean, built-in finish that no curtain or blind quite matches — calm, tidy and properly part of the house.
At Coventry Blinds we have been designing, making and fitting full height shutters across Coventry and Warwickshire since 2007. Every panel is built to the precise dimensions of your window in our workshop on Endemere Road, then fitted by our own family-run team. No standard sizes, no “close enough,” and no third-party installers you have never met.
Why Choose Full Height Plantation Shutters?
There is a reason full height shutters keep coming back as the most-requested style at every survey. They do almost everything well:
- Complete coverage — one elegant panel from frame top to sill, no gaps, no compromises.
- Precise light control — tilt the louvres in seconds for anything from full daylight to total privacy.
- Proper insulation — solid panels and tight tolerances keep warmth in during winter and heat out in summer, which the older Coventry housing stock genuinely appreciates.
- Easy upkeep — a quick dust and the occasional wipe with a damp cloth. No cords, no curtains to dry-clean.
- Long-lasting finish — our shutters are built to outlive a couple of kitchens, and they come with a comprehensive guarantee.
- Optional mid-rail — a horizontal break-rail lets you tilt the top and bottom louvres independently, perfect for street-facing rooms where you want light in but not eyes.
The other benefit, which we will admit is harder to measure, is how much calmer a room with full height shutters feels — especially in a busy family home where the curtains used to be doing the heavy lifting.
Our Survey and Fitting Process
We have streamlined the process so the only thing you have to think about is which louvre size you like.
- Free home survey. One of our specialists comes to you at a time that suits, measures every window with a laser, and brings the full range of material and colour samples so you can hold them up against the actual wall in the actual light.
- Bespoke manufacture. Your shutters are built to the exact dimensions of your windows in our Coventry workshop. Hardwood, painted hardwood, or waterproof composite for the steamy rooms — we will advise based on the room, not on what we have most of.
- Careful installation. Our own fitters set the frames, hang the panels, test every hinge and louvre, and tidy up before they leave. Dust sheets in, dust sheets out, and the kettle usually goes on.
Most full height shutter installations are done in a day. The transformation, oddly, is instant — even with the louvres still tilted half-open, the room feels finished.

Full Height Shutters — Common Questions
What is the most popular shutter style?
Full height plantation shutters are comfortably the most popular style we fit, both in Coventry and across the UK. They cover the whole window with a single elegant panel, giving the best balance of light control, privacy and insulation in almost every room.
Are full height shutters good for bedrooms?
Yes — they are our most-recommended bedroom shutter. Full height panels with a mid-rail let you keep the lower louvres closed for privacy while opening the top for morning light. For complete blackout in south-facing rooms, ask us about solid panel shutters instead.
Can I have a mid-rail on full height shutters?
Yes, and we recommend it for street-facing rooms. A horizontal break-rail divides the panel so the top and bottom louvres tilt independently — light in at the top, privacy at the bottom. It costs a little extra and is worth every penny on a main road.
How long do full height plantation shutters last?
A properly made set should last 20 to 30 years with minimal upkeep. We still service shutters we fitted shortly after opening Coventry Blinds in 2007, and most are still going strong.
