Select Shutters
Inspiring Your Home

Select Shutters is part of Changing Curtains, an independant retailer in North London for over twenty years. In October 2022 Frank (one of the owners) was diagnosed with AML (acute myeloid leukemia) (treatment going well, I now work from home writing our websites)
Fortunately our best local competitors "Inspiring Your Home" stepped in to assist and since they have an extensive fitting team (some of the best fitters in London) all of our work was completed to our usual high standard and all new enquiries now go to them. We have just finished completely refurbishing our showroom in Highgate with all new displays of Wooden Shutters, Motorised Electric Blinds and Curtain fabrics, please contact us by email or phone for an appointment

We now install every type of blind we are aware of

What is the best wood for Plantation Shutters ?
In my personal opinion (40 years fitting, 20 years shop owner) Paulownia wood or Douglas Fir, there might be other contenders, but with CITES issues they are not available. Paulownia is light in weight, superb grain, warp resistant, FSC registered, fast growing - Douglas Fir has a superb straight grain and American Naval Minesweepers are made from this timber, neither are the cheapest option, but by specialising we have brought the price down to very competitive levels.

Can you fit your shutters in my wetroom ?
Yes and no. Yes you can, but not wood shutters (they suffer in a damp environment). We have special wetroom shutters in UPVC. They are suitable for installing within the shower area. Cheap vinyl shutters are not nice, our wetroom shutters cost the same as our wooden shutters and look just as good

Do shutters look good at every window ?
No, not at every window. Some windows are unsuitable for various reasons. Shutters might look fine at the window but can you open them to open or clean the window, is there a bulkhead or a lintel ? Do you have Tilt and Turn windows, will the shutter frame obstruct ?
Think about access issues in converted flats. If balcony doors don't fully open in the correct direction, adding a shutter door to not fully open in front of it makes getting out onto the balcony tricky, why not have a nice curtain instead, choose a fabric that is gorgeous, interlining and simple hanging, treat it as a piece of art, make a feature of the space (we supply and install beautiful curtains too)

Which louvre size should I choose ?
Larger windows tend to suit larger louvres, but smaller louvres can give more privacy.
People who have had shutters previously and are now putting them into their new home usually choose larger panels and wider louvres for a simple uncluttered look. The panels are hinged to give access for cleaning or opening windows, however light, privacy and shade are controlled by tilting the louvres. Wider louvres in white will reflect a lot of light into the room.
