Shutters in Kent
Different periods need different specifications
Kent’s housing stock is one of the most varied in England, and the right blind specification changes more than people expect with the era of the property and the exposure of the location.
Tudor and Stuart (1500s-1600s)
Found in Faversham, Sandwich, parts of Canterbury and pockets across the rural villages. Small irregular windows, often original timber joinery. Blinds need to be hand-templated and sometimes shaped. Standard rectangular blinds rarely fit cleanly. We typically recommend pleated or shaped roman blinds matched to each opening.
Georgian (1700s-early 1800s).
The historic high streets of Rochester, Faversham, Sevenoaks, and central Canterbury. Tall sash windows with characteristic 6-over-6 or 8-over-8 panes. Roman blinds with heritage colour finishes are common; full-length rollers in linen weaves work for less formal rooms.
Victorian (1837-1901).
Spread across the entire county. Ground-floor terraces, semi-detached suburban homes, larger villas in the commuter belt. Sash windows, modest bay fronts, simple frame work. Tier-on-tier-style blinds (top down/bottom up rollers) work well; cafe-style equivalent setups suit ground-floor street-facing rooms.
Edwardian (1901-1914)
Big across Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone’s older suburbs, and Folkestone’s hill. Bay windows are dominant. Full-length romans in mid-weight fabrics dress bays softly; rollers fit recess-by-recess for cleaner finish.
Inter-war and post-war.
1920s through 1960s housing across the suburbs – Maidstone, Chatham, Gillingham, Ashford. Standard rectangular windows, modest size. Roller blinds or vertical blinds for living rooms; performance fabric for any kitchen or bathroom.
Modern (1980s onward)
New build estates around Ashford, Dartford/Ebbsfleet, Sevenoaks villages, Maidstone fringes. UPVC frames, often tilt-and-turn or large picture windows, occasional bifold doors at the rear. Perfect fit blinds, vertical blinds for patios, motorised options for skylights and reach-difficult windows.

why choose us
Why Choose The VIP Shutter Co
Choosing a made to measure window treatment is a long term investment, and the company you trust to deliver it matters just as much as the product itself. Here is why Kent homeowners, from period townhouses in Rochester to coastal properties in Folkestone, continue to choose The VIP Shutter Co year after year.
Carpenter Led Installation
Our founder, Barry, is a qualified carpenter with more than 25 years on the tools. Every shutter is scribed, shimmed, and finished to a cabinetmaker’s standard, which is an attention to detail that mass market shutter companies rarely match.
20+ years of experience
We have fitted shutters in every style of Kent home, from Medway terraces to Tunbridge Wells Victorians. We know what works and we will tell you if something does not.
Demonstrable Energy Efficiency
Independent testing has shown that a well fitted plantation shutter can cut heat loss through a window by up to 52 per cent. For a family with large bay windows or a period home with single glazing, the savings on heating bills can be considerable year on year.
Genuinely Local, Not a National Franchise
We are a small family team in Rochester who have measured, fitted, and serviced thousands of windows across Kent. We understand period sashes in Faversham, conservation area rules in Tunbridge Wells, and the particular demands of coastal properties from Whitstable to Folkestone.

Sunlight Control
At our home, we love having natural light fill our rooms, but sometimes the brightness can be overwhelming. That’s why we rely on our blinds to control the amount of sunlight that enters our space. With just a simple adjustment, we can soften the harsh rays and create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
One of my favourite things about using blinds for sunlight control is how versatile they are. Whether I want to completely block out the sun or let in just a little bit of light, there’s a blind option that fits my needs perfectly. Plus, with so many colours and styles to choose from, I can customise my blinds to match any decor style.
Using blinds for sunlight control not only enhances the ambience of a room but also has practical benefits. By reducing the amount of direct sunlight that comes into our home, we’re able to keep it cooler during hot summer days without relying solely on air conditioning. It’s amazing how something as simple as adjusting your blinds can have such a big impact on your comfort level and energy bills.
Rhetorical literary device: Alliteration (“soften the harsh rays”) – This creates an emphasis on the contrast between hard and soft light while also creating a pleasing rhythm in the sentence, which evokes calmness in the reader.
