Can shutters be fitted to UPVC windows ?
With over 75% of UK homes featuring UPVC windows, many homeowners assume wooden shutters aren’t an option. The truth? They absolutely are.
At Oxford Shutters, we’ve fitted countless UPVC windows across Oxfordshire with elegant plantation shutters. Here’s how it works and why it’s easier than most think.
The Quick Answer: Yes!
Modern shutters can be installed on UPVC windows. The secret is a carefully tailored installation process, something we’ve perfected over years of experience.
How UPVC Window Shutters Work
UPVC frames require a slightly different approach than traditional wooden frames. Custom frames sit neatly against your UPVC without altering the window itself. Brackets are designed to work without drilling into the window frame. Our method protects your UPVC warranty while ensuring a secure fit.

Precision is key, and every millimetre matters. Our process includes:
- Exact measurements to ensure a perfect fit
- Custom-made frames tailored to your window dimensions
