Where did Tier on Tier Shutters Originate?
The exact origins of tier on tier shutters remain uncertain, though it is widely believed that they evolved from solid full-height shutters, taking inspiration from the classic divided design of traditional stable doors. This practical concept of independently operating upper and lower sections has stood the test of time and remains just as relevant in modern homes today.
What are Tier on Tier Shutters?
Tier on tier shutters, also called double-hung shutters, combine the best of full-height and café style designs. Each window has two separate panels top and bottom that open and close independently. The louvres on each panel can also be adjusted separately, giving precise control over light and privacy throughout the day.
Benefits of Tier on Tier Shutters
- By combining the functionality of full-height and café style shutters, tier on tier shutters allow you to independently control the top and bottom panels, giving you unmatched flexibility over light and privacy at any time of day.
- Constructed from high-quality hardwood or faux wood, these shutters are built to last and provide an effective additional layer between your interior and the outside elements, helping to retain warmth and keep draughts at bay.
- The solid construction of tier on tier shutters also acts as a visual deterrent to potential intruders, adding an extra layer of security to your home.
- With a choice of colours, materials, and louvre sizes, these shutters can be customised to integrate naturally with any interior style or décor.
- Every installation is carried out by our experienced team, ensuring a neat, professional finish with discreet fittings that complement rather than detract from your windows.
