Tracked Shutters
What Are Tracked Shutters?
Tracked shutters are specially designed window coverings that slide smoothly along fitted tracks rather than opening on hinges like traditional shutters. The individual shutter panels glide effortlessly from side to side, making them ideal for wide windows, bi-fold doors, and patio doors.
Unlike standard shutters that swing open into your room, tracked shutters slide neatly to one side, saving valuable space. This makes them perfect for rooms where space is limited or where furniture is positioned close to windows. The panels can be partially or fully opened, giving you complete control over light and privacy levels throughout the day.
Our Kent tracked shutters are custom-made to fit your exact window measurements, ensuring a perfect fit every time. Available in a wide range of colours and finishes, they can complement any interior design style, from traditional to contemporary.

Why choose Tracked Shutters?
Space-Saving Design Tracked shutters are brilliant for homes where space matters. Since the panels slide along tracks rather than swinging open, they don’t take up any room space when opened. This makes them perfect for areas with limited space or where furniture sits close to windows.
Easy Operation Operating tracked shutters couldn’t be simpler. The smooth sliding action requires minimal effort, and the panels glide silently along their tracks. For even greater convenience, we also offer motorised tracked shutters that can be controlled with a remote or smart home system.
Perfect Light Control With tracked shutters, you have complete control over natural light entering your room. Slide the panels partially open for filtered light, or fully open them to flood your space with sunshine. The adjustable louvres also allow you to fine-tune light levels whilst maintaining privacy.
Enhanced Security and Privacy Tracked shutters provide excellent security for your home, acting as a strong barrier against potential intruders. During the evening, they offer complete privacy whilst still allowing you to control ventilation through the adjustable louvres.
Our experienced team at The VIP Shutter Co ensures every installation meets the highest standards. With our 25 years of carpentry experience, you can trust us to deliver tracked shutters that will last for years to come.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions

Tracked shutters work well in most rooms, particularly living areas, bedrooms, and conservatories with large windows or patio doors.
