What makes a great window shutter?
Window shutters in general are solid and stable coverings, typically manufactured from wood, MDF, or composite materials. The difference between a great window shutter and a not-so-great window shutter, comes down to the materials used and manufacturing processes which are used to build the shutters.
At Long Island we are a proud registered supplier of New Age Shutters products. At Long Island we believe in supplying our customers the very best window Shutters and only supply sustainably sourced wooden window shutters, that have been manufactured to exact standards and are backed by industry leading warranties and manufacturing support. In short we only supply the best shutters.
A Window shutter for all types of London windows
Unlike curtains or blinds, shutters are fixed securely to the window frame or window reveal. Shutters feature slats, also known as louvres that can be tilted to control light and privacy accordingly.
At Long Island shutters we supply and install a variety of shutter styles, including full-height shutters, tier-on-tier shutters, and half height shutters known as ‘café-style’.
Long Island are also experts in shaped shutters for shaped windows. We have installed 1000’s of stunning arched shutters, triangular shutters and even circular shutters throughout North London. We proudly state that we can fit shutters to any window.

Despite where you live in North London, chances are your home is located on bustling, vibrant streets or in close proximity to neighbours. Shutters—especially tier-on-tier shutters provide a flexible window screening solution, they allow you to close the lower section of the shutters for privacy, whilst keeping the top section open for natural light to filter into the room.
