At The VIP Shutter Co, we’ve been helping families across Kent and surrounding areas improve their homes for over 20 years. Our full height shutters are one of our most popular products – and for good reason! These full height window shutters cover your entire window from top to bottom, offering a perfect blend of style and function that can transform any room.
Save Money on Heating and Cooling Bills
One of the biggest benefits of full height shutters is how they help keep your energy bills down. The solid shutter panels create an extra layer between your home and the outside world. This works like a shield that:
- Keeps warm air inside during cold winter months
- Blocks hot air from entering during summer
- Stops annoying draughts that make rooms feel colder
- Reduces how much you need to use your heating and air conditioning
Many of our customers notice a drop in their energy bills after getting full height window shutters installed. They act like an extra layer of insulation for your windows, which are often the weakest point in a home’s thermal protection.
Control Light and Privacy Your Way
Our shutters give you amazing control over both light and privacy. Unlike curtains, which are either open or closed, full height shutters let you adjust the louvres (the slats that can be tilted) to let in exactly the amount of light you want.
For even more control, many of our designs feature a mid rail that divides the shutters into upper and lower sections. This lets you:
- Adjust top and bottom sections separately
- Keep the bottom closed for privacy while opening the top for light
- Create the perfect balance of light and privacy
The tilt rod is what controls these adjustments. We offer both visible and hidden tilt rod options to suit different style preferences.
Enjoy a Quieter, More Peaceful Home
If you live on a busy road or in a noisy neighbourhood, full height window shutters can make a big difference to your peace and quiet. The solid construction of our shutter panels acts as a sound barrier, reducing the amount of outside noise that enters your home.
This sound-dampening effect can make your home feel like a calm, peaceful retreat – even in the middle of a busy area.
Add Style and Value to Your Property
Full height shutters look absolutely stunning in any home. They add a clean, sophisticated look that works with both modern and traditional decorating styles. Our high quality finishes ensure a premium appearance that:
- Makes windows look larger and more impressive
- Adds a touch of luxury to any room
- Creates a consistent look across your home
- Impresses visitors and potential buyers
Our hardwood shutters are particularly popular for their natural beauty and premium feel. These shutters can increase your property’s value and appeal, as many estate agents highlight shutters as a desirable feature in property listings.
Long-Lasting and Easy to Maintain
Unlike curtains or fabric blinds that collect dust and need regular washing, our high quality shutters are incredibly easy to keep clean. A quick wipe with a damp cloth is usually all they need to look as good as new.
Our full height shutters are built to last for many years without warping, fading or deteriorating. This makes them a smart long-term investment for your home. They also don’t hold onto dust or allergens like fabric window coverings do, making them a better choice for anyone with allergies or asthma.

The UK government recognises shutters as an energy-saving technology, supporting their use in improving domestic energy efficiency. By choosing shutters, you’re making a choice that’s both practical for your home and better for the planet.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do full height shutters last?
With proper care, our full height shutters can last 20+ years. They’re made from high quality materials that resist warping, fading and general wear and tear, making them a long-term investment for your home.
What is the difference between a visible and hidden tilt rod?
A visible tilt rod is the traditional central rod at the front of the shutters that you use to adjust all louvres at once. A hidden tilt rod provides the same function but is concealed within the shutter panels for a cleaner, more modern look.
Can full height shutters be fitted to any window?
Yes! Our shutters can be custom-made to fit windows of any size or shape, including bay windows, arched windows and even triangular windows. We measure and create each set specifically for your windows.
What are the benefits of having a mid rail?
A mid rail allows you to operate the top and bottom sections of your full height window shutters independently. This gives you greater control over light and privacy, letting you keep the bottom closed for privacy while opening the top for natural light.
