Plantation shutters in a Victorian bay window

Shutters

Made-to-Measure Shutters

Window shutters have been an elegant addition to stylish homes for centuries - softening light, adding privacy, improving insulation and giving your home a timeless architectural finish. Every shutter we make is hand-crafted to fit your window precisely.

Hand-crafted in the UK

Shutters built around the way you live.

For centuries, shutters have been the quiet mark of a well-finished home. They filter morning light, shield rooms from overlooking windows, add a layer of insulation, and give every window a tailored, architectural presence.

At Jasper & Finch, every shutter is made to measure in our UK workshop from solid hardwood, assembled with traditional mortise and tenon joints, and finished by hand before our team fits it in your home.

What you can expect

  • Made to measure for every window, including bays, arches and shaped openings
  • Typically fitted within 4-6 weeks - a fraction of the industry norm
  • Hardwood+ shutters guaranteed for life, with 10 years across the range

Why choose shutters

Six reasons they earn their place.

Light Control

Adjust the louvres to filter as much or as little daylight as you want - from a soft, diffused glow to full, open views.

Privacy & Security

Complete control over visibility into your home, without sacrificing daylight or style.

Insulation

A second layer over your glazing reduces heat loss in winter, keeps rooms cooler in summer.

Bespoke Fit

Made to measure - bays, arches and shaped openings all welcome.

Durability

A one-time investment that easily outlasts curtains and blinds, adding lasting value to your property.

Style

A clean, architectural look that works with everything from period features to minimalist contemporary interiors.

Larger panels that slide along a track - ideal for patio doors, bi-folds and very wide windows.

Best for · Sliding doors, open-plan spaces, room dividers.

Shutter FAQs

Good questions, clear answers.

How much do shutters cost?
Every shutter is made to measure, so prices vary by size, material, style and finish. Give us your window sizes over the phone on 0800 433 2733 and we can give you a same-day ballpark.
Can you fit shutters into bay windows?
Yes - bays are one of the things shutters do best. We make and fit shutters for square, angled and curved bays.
Do shutters block out all the light?
Closed louvres reduce light dramatically but don't blackout entirely. For full blackout, we can pair shutters with a tension-operated blackout blind behind them.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Typically 4–6 weeks from order. Bespoke colours and shaped panels can take a little longer.

British craftsmanship

Current Lead Time

Typically 4–6 weeks.

Jasper & Finch offers an express service for our UK-made hardwood shutters. Close-to-home production means consistent quality and a typical lead time of 4–6 weeks - a fraction of the industry norm.

Build quality

Mortise & tenon.

Every Jasper & Finch shutter is assembled with traditional mortise & tenon joints - a precisely-cut tongue (the tenon) seated into a matching socket (the mortise). It's the oldest, strongest woodworking joint there is, and the reason fine furniture lasts generations.

Mortise
The socket cut into the rail - sized precisely to receive the tenon.
Tenon
The projecting tongue, trimmed for a tight, zero-play fit.
Shoulders
Four shoulders at the joint base for rigidity and a square set.
Cheeks
Sides of the tenon, dialled in for a furniture-grade finish.

Our flagship range

hardwood+

Our finest shutters, guaranteed for life.

  • Lifetime guarantee on workmanship and materials
  • Premium solid hardwood - broadest stain & paint palette
  • Hidden Easy-Tilt mechanism as standard
  • Heavier-duty hinges rated for daily use

A promise very few UK shutter companies can match.

Thermal performance

A second layer that genuinely works.

Glass is the weakest point in any wall. Solid hardwood shutters add a sealed insulating layer over the window - keeping rooms warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and reducing energy bills year-round. The difference shows up clearly on a thermal camera.

Louvres open

Cool blues and purples around the louvres show heat escaping through the open slats.

Warm uniform tones show heat retained when the louvres are closed.
