The Collection
Curtains over French doors snag every time you open them. Roller blinds rattle. Vertical blinds belong, frankly, somewhere else.
Our French door shutters are mounted directly to the door panel — they travel with the door, hug the glass, and frame the garden beautifully when thrown open.
Each panel is cut around the handle with millimetre precision so nothing obstructs the lever. It looks intentional because, very carefully, it is.



Why Homeowners Choose This Style
Four reasons French doors and shutters belong together.

Shutters are mounted to the door itself, so they open and close exactly as the door does. No fabric to catch, no track to clear.

Each panel is cut around the door handle with millimetre accuracy. The lever stays fully accessible; the look stays uninterrupted.

Tilt the louvres for instant privacy without losing daylight. A far gentler solution than blinds or net curtains on glass doors.

The shutter sits flush against the glass, adding a layer of insulation that softens cold draughts at the door threshold.
“They look as though the doors were made for them. We've stopped pulling the curtains across — we don't need to any more.”
— Diane, Gosforth
Beautiful in Every Room
The most elegant way to dress doors that open into the world.
The classic application — French doors onto the lawn or terrace, dressed so they finally feel like a feature rather than a problem to solve.
Shutters tame the heat and glare of a south-facing conservatory while still letting you throw the doors wide on a summer evening.
Privacy at dinner; daylight at brunch. Tilt the louvres to suit the time of day and the mood of the table.
Original timber French doors deserve a shutter that respects them. Our cut-outs and finishes are sympathetic to period hardware.
Fitting to French doors takes care and the right hardware. We measure, manufacture and fit every set ourselves, on timber or UPVC doors alike.
