The Collection
Tier-on-tier splits the window horizontally into two independent panels. The top can stand open while the bottom stays closed — or any combination in between.
It is the natural choice for traditional sash windows, where the rhythm of two tiers mirrors the original architecture beautifully.
Every panel is bespoke to your window, with the mid-rail positioned to align with the sash divide for a result that looks original to the room.



Why Homeowners Choose This Style
The four reasons tier-on-tier wins on street-facing and overlooked windows.

Close the bottom tier for instant pavement-level privacy without sacrificing a single ray of light from above.

Throw open the top tier and the room fills with soft, high daylight — perfect for kitchens, bedrooms and living rooms alike.

The mid-rail is positioned to line up with the existing sash — the shutter feels like a natural extension of the architecture.

A heritage detail that works as beautifully in a Victorian terrace as it does in a contemporary new-build.
“It feels like the house has always had them. Even my mother-in-law approved.”
— Rachel, Heaton
Beautiful in Every Room
Anywhere privacy matters and light is precious — tier-on-tier earns its place.
Close the lower panel against passers-by; keep the upper open to the leafy view above. Privacy and light, finally on your terms.
A more flexible alternative to full height — gentle morning light from above without ever exposing the room at eye level.
Tier-on-tier respects the proportions of original sash windows in a way modern blinds and curtains simply cannot.
Open the top tier for a brighter cooking space; close the bottom while you eat. Practical, beautiful, easy to wipe clean.
Every panel is hand-measured to your window so the mid-rail aligns with the sash divide. Premium hardwood, soft-close hinges, considered hardware throughout.
