| Bathroom Shutters - A Fresh Option for Bathroom Window Dressing |
By:

Finding a suitable solution for providing privacy in the bathroom, yet finding something that can still cope with steam and splashes, and look stylish, is always a challenge. Internal shutters provide a fresh option, as they provide privacy, suit a variety of bathrooms, look timeless and stylish, and the newest option is still durable enough to cope with the everyday wear and tear in a bathroom. While traditional material window coverings may quickly show signs of damp and begin to deteriorate due to moisture, and plastic blinds may not provide the quality look you want, the newest plastic internal shutters can combat all these issues.
Plastic (ABS) coating
The latest internal shutters are now available in plastic (ABS). While they look exactly the same as existing plantation style shutters, the durable plastic coating over a wooden core means that they suitable for use in bathrooms. While not water-proof, they are moisture resistant so that they can be used in damp areas or where they may need to be tough enough to be constantly cleaned. The plastic used is lightweight and hardwearing, and is also commonly used to make items such as safety helmets. The quality of the finish is just as high as on other types of shutters, and it’s hard to tell that they are plastic unless examined closely.
Rust Free fittings
The staples holding the control rod for the louvers are made from stainless steal so that they will be unlikely to rust. Hinges can also be supplied in a colour to match the shutter doors or in stainless steal, again to reduce the chance of rust or deterioration.
Easy Fitting
Regardless of whether you have a tiled window recess, either in full or part, plastic internal shutters can easily be fitted. If the window recess is only part tiled, it is possible to provide frames with ‘cut outs’ to shape the frames around any tiles protruding into the window area.
Privacy and Ventilation
As the louver blades can be tilted to an angle to suit, your privacy can be guaranteed without sacrificing light or air circulation. It’s possible to leave the window open, yet tilt the louvers to allow air into the room without material billowing in the breeze and catching on wet surfaces or blinds rattling. As the shutter doors are held in place with strong magnets there is little chance of them blowing apart, so they will remain firmly fixed in place even with an open window.
Easy Cleaning
The plastic layered over a wooden core means that cleaning is simple. Plastic internal shutters are wipe-cleanable, and while this means that marks from steam and condensation can be removed, dust can also be reduced as it can be wiped away.
Style
The classic yet modern appearance of internal shutters will suit most bathrooms. Their simplicity appeals to many people, and as they sit in the window recess they will not intrude into the room saving valuable space. Perfect for many bathrooms as these are for many of us the smallest rooms in our homes. White is the most popular colour option, as it blends with a range of bathroom suites and tiles, and no matter how many times you decorate it will still match. White also allows maximum light to reflect into your bathroom.
If you have an unsightly window, or obscured glass that you would like to hide, then these are an ideal solution, as many people adjust the louvers but never open the internal shutters themselves other than to clean the window.
Versatile
You don’t just have to restrict these to use in the bathroom, as they are also ideal for use in areas where they may need to withstand a great deal of wear and tear, such as a play or utility room, kitchen or for hotels where they can withstand constant cleaning. Of course internal shutters are classic yet modern and suit a many different styles of homes, their growing popularity is proof of this. However, for those who want a stylish yet durable solution to window dressing for their bathroom, the latest plastic option is perfect.
