Shutter Installation

Our manufacturing partners have a reputation for excellence and product innovation. Utilizing state of the art manufacturing processes we ensure your plantation shutters are created quickly and flawlessly to your exact specification. When purchasing shutters this is only one half of the process. What gives your window shutters that ‘wow factor’ is not the shutters themselves, but the quality of fitting. Without taking the necessary care and attention to detail during the installation, your window shutters can become a huge disappointment.

The installation of plantation shutters is not as straightforward as some people may lead you to believe. Yes, in some instances window shutters can be installed with a modicum of joinery skill, but in the main it’s a job for skilled craftsmen. For this reason Signature Shade only uses skilled carpenters who have first-hand experience working with plantation shutters. We feel very strongly about the quality of the installation; shoddy and careless installation of your shutters will not only look bad, but ultimately shorten the life of your shutters.

Plantation Shutter Surveyor

We view the fitting of shutters holistically and the process starts the day the surveyor arrives at your home to measure for your window shutters. In stark contrast to many of our competitors, the person you meet at the time of survey will return to complete the installation; either on their own or as part of a team.

Our surveyors aren’t just sales people they install the shutters too and this is so, so important in ensuring you are getting the right advice. There are countless things to consider when completing a survey and alas, it’s not as simple as measuring just a width and a height. Are the walls and window cills level? Will we need to scribe-in infills and cloaking timbers to conceal gaps and out-of-square openings? What about projecting window handles, do we need to use a sub-frame? All these issues, plus advice on design, functionality and aesthetics will be fully considered and explained to you by our experts.

There are many pitfalls that could hinder the successful installation of your shutters. There are also many short-cuts that can be taken to install shutters; either because companies don’t employ people with the necessary skill to complete a quality installation or because they believe a cheap quote gives them a better chance of winning the work. Unfortunately, if the potential problems are not spotted at the time of survey and you use a company who ‘cut-corners’ to install shutters ‘on the cheap’ you could be left with shutters that don’t function properly and worse still, look unsightly and detract rather than add to the finish of your interior. Using Signature Shade to supply, design and install your window shutters ensures that you can purchase with confidence and have peace of mind you are dealing with a company that knows exactly what they are doing.

Shutter Installation Craftsmanship

The first half of the installation process begins with the survey, the second half is obviously the fitting itself. The person that you met at the time of survey will return either on their own or as part of a team to complete the installation. Having knowledge of the survey is critical to completing the installation swiftly and most importantly, correctly.

There are numerous ways of installing shutters and one person may tackle it in a different way to another. Having that continuity between survey and installation means the fitting goes smoothly and the potential for misinterpretation or a breakdown in communication between surveyor and installer is entirely removed.

Our installation teams work efficiently and tidily. Any furniture that needs to be moved will be moved with the utmost of care and where appropriate dust sheets will be used to protect and keep everything clean. Once the work has been completed, your rooms will be left in exactly the same condition that they were found. Where appropriate, we will vacuum your carpets and wipe down and dust surfaces. We will also demonstrate the operation of the shutters and ensure you are 100% satisfied before leaving.

3 Years Plantation Shutter Warranty

Our holistic strategy in our opinion makes for a winning formula. The combination of skilled craftsmen, the attention to detail, actually caring about our customers and producing work that we can be proud of and they are happy with, ensures we have the confidence to provide with our window shutters a 3 years warranty.

We believe our Shutter Installation Service to be the best available in the UK.
