Georgian window shutters are a quintessential feature for period properties, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits.
Rooted in the elegance of the Georgian era, these shutters bring a touch of 18th-century charm to modern homes while providing practical solutions for light control, heat insulation, and privacy.
From 1714 to 1830, the Georgian era is celebrated for its distinctive architectural style.
Homes from this period often feature Georgian sash windows and casement windows, known for their symmetry and proportion. Georgian shutters were a standard feature, designed to fit these window styles perfectly.
Below are some images of various Georgian-style projects we completed in Poundbury, Exeter, and other locations throughout the West Country.
