Real Life Stories

Triangle Windows No Problem For Wooden Shutters

Added: July 21, 2008

Tania for Norwich had never considered shutters as an option for her window when she started out renovating her lounge. Central to the 'redo' of the room as an extension with a vaulted, apex ceiling which Tania wanted to make the room feel larger. Her builder suggested that she could incorporate a triangle shaped window instead of the normal rectangular shape. Tania was all for this idea as thought it would really show off the special ceiling of the room, however she had never given a thought to any form of window dressing, let alone plantation shutters!

White Plantation Shutters on Triangular Window

I had seen shutters in Norwich but had never thought of these as something for my home. As the hard work of the extension build came to a close, and I had the chance to start thinking about the nice things like decorating, sofas, curtains, etc I realised I had one big consideration I had missed - how to put curtains on the triangle shaped window! A lady I had used to make curtains before suggested that plantation shutters could work. She had seen shutters in Norwich at another customer and found the details for me. It was you guys The California Company who had done the shutters.

I contact you and had hoped you could install shutters for me in Norwich but realised that even if you did install, I could not afford the price shutter companies who install charge! I sent a photo of my window through and you sent back a really usefully drawing and explanation showing how to measure for my shutters. This was the best thing as it was really clear and showed exactly how the shutters should be measured. If I am honest my builder did help me but mainly to make doubly sure I had measured correctly. I wouldn’t want the shutters arriving in Norwich and being the wrong size!

Chrissie was really fantastic and called up before the shutters were made to run though a couple of little details. The shutters arrived 7 weeks from when I ordered and look amazing. I could not have wished for a better outcome and can’t recommend The California Shutter people enough or the plantation shutters they sell!

The California Company Comment on your Project:

Thanks Tania. Most people don't realise that plantation shutters can be made to fit almost any window. It's not only regular square or rectangular windows which fit shutters, but also shutters on arch windows, shutters on circular windows and triangular windows which work well!

The photo of the shutters looks great and make sure you tell all your friends!
