Real Life Stories

Wokingham Shutters Go With Everything

Added: November 17, 2008

When Leisa from Crowthorne near Wokingham, Berkshire came to buy shutters, she knew exactly what she wanted. As Leisa tells us......

"Shutters offer fantastic flexibility as you can change the style of your room or decor and shutters will almost always work. Put simply, I don't like curtains and shutters look great in every room. I chose white shutters as this colour means that whatever you do in the room, your shutters will still work. We saw your shutters initially in the B&Q store in Farnborough and picked up a leaflet from there. I then went online to research different shutters companies on the internet, looking at both the price of their plantation shutters and the quality of the shutters and service offered.
From the word go, The California Company exceeded my expectations. I can only describe the service as excellent! I took advantage of the service where you email a photo of your window to have an expert come back with measuring advice to measure the perfect shutters. This identified that the windows were slightly out and I made allowances to measure correctly for the shutters.
My advice to future customers would be to make sure the number of panels compliments the divides on the window. Also, I recommend white shutters as they're fresh, clean and go with almost all decor tastes.
Finally, my single biggest piece of advice would be to check and double check your dimensions. If you are at all unsure if the sizes are correct, be sure to send a photo of your window to The California Company and they will help ensure you've to your windows measured just right!"

The California Company Comment on your Project:

Thanks Leisa. You're advice is spot on. Reading the Shutters Measuring Guide is the key to getting your shutters measured for a perfect fit. Then, when you're happy with the details you've read, measure as many times as you feel necessary to be sure that you're shutters will fit perfectly. If in any doubt, be sure to contact us and why not email over a photo of your window and we'll mark up where to measure correctly for your shutters.
We can't wait to see the photo of your new shutters when you grab a minute to email us!
