Bathroom Window Shutters

The first choice for privacy

When it comes to bathrooms and wet rooms, privacy will be your number one concern. We all need a totally private space to retreat to without fear of being overlooked. Therefore, it’s no surprise that window coverings for bathrooms are often given quite a lot of thought and consideration.

Bathroom window shutters come top of the list for delivering that absolute privacy you’re looking for. Unlike blinds or curtains, they provide complete coverage when closed. There are no gaps or spaces left exposed, offering that total level of privacy. And, as all our window shutters are made to measure, you can rest assured that they’ll be a perfect fit every time.

But they’re also really flexible too. Bathroom window shutters offer customisable privacy options, allowing you to adjust the louvres or panels to control the amount of light and visibility entering the bathroom or shower room. This flexibility gives you the privacy you need, without sacrificing natural light.

You can also rely on them to withstand the humid, steamy environment of the bathroom. Our bathroom shutters are made from quality UPVC and finished with polyurethane paint for extra protection. We can guarantee there’ll be no bending or warping, however long you like to spend in the bath. Our water resistant shutters won’t get damaged from the hot and humid conditions, so you can be sure they’ll deliver maximum privacy as long as you need them.

Blinds or Shutters?

Which is the better choice for the bathroom? While blinds can be a good option for steamy bathrooms, you’ll find that bathroom window shutters offer a few extra advantages.

Shutters last longer

Window shutters are more durable than blinds, especially in humid, damp environments such as bathrooms. Our bathroom shutters are crafted from quality UPVC and finished with polyurethane paint for additional protection. These water resistant shutters are ideal for wet rooms, shower rooms and bathrooms where there’s excess moisture in the air. They won’t grow mould or mildew, they’re guaranteed not to warp or distort, and they’ll stay looking great for years to come.

Shutters are easier to clean

The larger slats of shutters make them a breeze to clean. While cleaning and dusting down blinds can be a time-consuming process, window shutters are simple. Our waterproof bathroom window shutters can be wiped down effortlessly, eliminating germs, dust and dirt in one quick action. If you love to have a spotlessly clean and hygienic bathroom, then window shutters will be your first choice every time.

5 Reasons to use Bathroom Window Shutters

1.      They provide instant privacy

If there’s one room that really requires complete privacy, it’s the bathroom. While it’s pleasant to have the option for daylight when the room is not in use, you also need to ensure that the room can be screened from the outside view when required. Bathroom window shutters are the perfect solution, giving maximum privacy when the louvres are closed.

2.      They are perfect for humid environments

Here at American Shutters, our water resistant shutters are a popular choice for bathrooms and wet rooms. Made from quality UPVC and finished with polyurethane paint for extra protection, we can guarantee they won’t warp or bend, however streamy your bathroom gets. And unlike curtains or wooden shutters, you won’t have to worry about any damage from the hot and humid conditions.

3.      They make your bathroom feel like a spa

Bathroom window shutters are an undeniably sophisticated choice. They give an instant upgrade to your bathroom, elevating it to the feel of a stylish spa. Our white window shutters are the most popular choice for bathrooms and give a crisp, fresh feel to the room, but you can choose any paint shade to match your existing colour palette.

4.      They are the hygienic choice

Our waterproof bathroom window shutters just need a quick wipe-down to ensure your bathroom is kept spotlessly clean and germ-free. While curtains and drapes are prone to trapping moisture and harbouring germs, bathroom shutters are a hygienic alternative. Simple to maintain, they are easily disinfected to ensure a clean, sanitary environment for you and your family.

5.      They help to regulate room temperature

You’ll find that your shutters for the bathroom are ideal for regulating temperature levels. No one likes a chilly bathroom, and window shutters provide excellent protection against cold draughts in the winter. The louvred shutters also allow you to let a cool breeze flow through the room on hot summer days, without any compromise on your privacy.

Bathroom window shutters

When it comes to window coverings for the most private room in the house, bathroom shutters will always be the first choice. In an instant, your bathroom or wet room can become a completely personal space. Just one touch of the louvres, and your room is fully screened off from the outside. With no poorly fitting curtains or blinds to worry about, you can relax in comfort.

And when you don’t need privacy, you can open up the shutters to let the light and air stream in.

You’ll have full control, whether you want full daylight, gentle shading, or partial privacy.

Bathroom shutter styles

Bathroom window shutters are a very fashionable choice in the UK, and you have many styles to choose from. We offer a variety of shutter styles to suit every home.

Many people choose full height shutters for the bathroom area. These full-length shutters will cover your windows completely, giving you maximum privacy as needed. You may want to consider the flexible option of tier on tier shutters, which will allow you to open the upper half of the shutters independently. This gives you even greater control over the amount of light and air entering the room. We don’t recommend our café style shutters for bathrooms. Only the lower half of the window is covered in this style, which reduces your overall privacy levels.

You can also choose between a traditional or more contemporary style of shutter. Our traditional shutter has classic louvres and a tilt rod that opens and closes the slats. You may prefer our more modern portabello shutter. This minimalist design has a hidden tilt mechanism for a clean, unfussy finish. In addition, you can choose from a wide range of louvre blade sizes, 64, 75, 89 or 114mm, to give you a perfect look for your home.

Plantation shutters for bathrooms

Window shutters, also known as plantation shutters, were originally fitted on the windows of large plantation houses in the Southern USA. Back then, the shutters were placed outside to protect against the heat and the sun. It’s not surprising to learn that plantation shutters were designed to cope with hot and humid climates, similar to the one you’ll find in the bathroom.

Shutters for the bath and shower room are fantastic at regulating temperature and humidity levels. The louvred shutters allow air to enter the room without compromising your privacy. This means you can enjoy a natural flow of air without worrying about onlookers. The slats also provide excellent protection from the sun and heat on hot days and keep the room warm and toasty in winter.

Bathroom window shutters maintenance

Waterproof bathroom window shutters are incredibly easy to clean and maintain. Made from quality UPVC, they can be wiped down effortlessly, leaving your bathroom space spotlessly clean and hygienic. Unlike curtains or drapes, which can trap moisture and harbour germs, shutters are the sanitary choice for every bathroom.

You’ll find your bathroom shutters are highly durable. As they are guaranteed not to warp or distort, you’ll find they look good as new for years. And thanks to the protective polyurethane paint, they’re well protected against stains or damage. At American Shutters, we have happy customers who are still enjoying their shutters 20 years after they were first installed.

Bathroom shutter cost

Shutters for bathrooms may sound like an expensive choice, but you could be happily surprised. They are actually very cost-effective. Their fantastic insulation properties will help reduce your heating bills, especially in a bathroom where warmth is essential. Long-lasting and practically maintenance-free, they’ll give you years of good looks with minimal effort.

And, don’t forget that all-important spa effect. Bathrooms are one of the key rooms under consideration by house-hunters. A stylish, sophisticated wet room with quality bathroom window shutters will add to the value of your home. Think of your bathroom shutters as a permanent upgrade to your property.
