### The High-End Window Treatment
Plantation shutters are **the quality option for windows** - solid, stylish, excellent light control. But they're expensive to buy, so professional fitting that does them justice really matters.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Plantation shutters are made-to-measure, so accurate window measuring before ordering is critical. Get it wrong and expensive shutters won't fit. I can help check measurements if you're unsure.

### Professional Fitting Essential
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Done Wrong | |--------------|---------------| | Frame mounted square and true | Frame follows wonky reveal | | Shutters hang level, louvers tilt evenly | Louvers bind, tilt unevenly | | Smooth operation, no binding | Catches and scrapes | | Looks like it cost what it did | Looks DIY despite price |
**Why fitting matters:** - Frames need mounting true (not following wonky reveals) - Shutter panels must hang level - Louver operation should be smooth - Magnetic catches need aligning precisely

Good to Know
> 🏠 **Multiple windows?** Shutters throughout the house look fantastic and add real value. Doing them all together is more efficient than room by room. **Made to measure:** Shutters are custom-made for each window. Wrong measurements = £hundreds wasted. Double-check before ordering, or get me to verify measurements. **Bay windows:** These are more complex - multiple angled panels all need to align. Budget extra time for bay window shutters. **Exeter's old houses:** Perfect for plantation shutters actually - adds period detail back. Just needs careful fitting because nothing's square in old properties.
Frequently Asked Questions about Plantation shutter installation in Sidmouth
Do I need to buy the shutters first?
Yes - plantation shutters are custom-made to measure for each window. You measure, order, they arrive, then I fit them. I'm happy to advise on measuring if needed.
Can you fit to wonky window reveals?
Yes - that's exactly why professional fitting matters. Old Sidmouth houses rarely have square reveals. I fit the frame true and level regardless of whether your window opening is square.
How long does one window take to fit?
Depends on size and complexity. Single window usually 2-3 hours including frame mounting and shutter hanging. Bay windows or full-height shutters take longer - maybe 3-4 hours per window.
What about fitting to old sash windows?
No problem - shutters work brilliantly with sash windows. Frame gets fitted to the reveal, shutters hang inside. Still lets you open the sash window behind if you want.
Do you do whole-house installations?
Yes - if you're doing multiple rooms, I'll fit them all. Usually works out at a day or two's work depending on number of windows. Quote based on how many windows you've got.
