    What shutters are best for bay windows?

    The best type of shutters for bay windows can depend on several factors, including the size and shape of the bay window, the style of the room, and the level of privacy and light control desired. Here are some options to consider: 1. Full Height Shutters: Full height shutters are a popular choice for bay windows. They cover the full height of the window and can be fitted with a divider rail to allow for independent operation of the top and bottom louvers, providing flexibility in terms of light control and privacy. 2. Tier-on-Tier Shutters: Tier-on-tier shutters are similar to full height shutters, but feature two separate panels that can be opened and closed independently, allowing for greater control over light and privacy. This makes them a great option for bay windows, which often have multiple sections that can be treated as separate windows. 3. Café Style Shutters: Café style shutters cover only the bottom half of the window, providing privacy while allowing natural light to enter through the top half of the window. This style can be especially useful for bay windows that face a busy street or sidewalk. 4. Shaped Shutters: If your bay window has an unusual or non-standard shape, you may want to consider custom-shaped shutters. These can be designed to fit the unique dimensions of your bay window and provide a seamless and stylish look.

    Do shutters cause damp?

    No, shutters should not cause damp in your home. Dampness is typically caused by moisture that enters a home through leaks in the roof or walls, poor ventilation, or high humidity levels. Shutters, whether made of wood or another material, do not create moisture or dampness on their own.However, it's important to note that shutters can be affected by dampness if they are exposed to excess moisture for prolonged periods of time. For example, if a shutter is installed in a room with high humidity levels or near a window that has a leak, it may absorb moisture and become warped or damaged over time. It's important to address any moisture issues in your home to prevent damage to your shutters or other furnishings.

    Are integral blinds a good idea?

    Integral blinds are window blinds that are fitted inside a double-glazed unit, so they are sandwiched between two panes of glass. They are controlled by a magnet or sliding mechanism and can be raised, lowered or tilted to control the amount of light and privacy in a room. One of the main advantages of integral blinds is that they are low-maintenance and easy to clean, as they are protected from dust and dirt inside the glass. They can also provide a neat and unobtrusive look, as there are no cords or rails to clutter the window frame. Additionally, they can be a good option for those with young children or pets, as there are no cords that could pose a choking hazard.

    What is an integral blind?

    An integral blind is a type of window blind that is fitted between the panes of a double-glazed window unit. The blind is enclosed in a hermetically-sealed cavity, typically made of glass, and is controlled by a magnet or sliding mechanism. Integral blinds can be raised, lowered, or tilted to control the amount of light and privacy in a room, and they are available in a range of styles, colors, and materials. They can be a good option for those who want a low-maintenance and unobtrusive window treatment, as they are protected from dust and dirt inside the glass and do not take up any additional space in the room.
