We are delighted with our shutters and very impressed with the service we received from The Great Shutter Company from start to finish. This is the first time we have had shutters, so we found the initial visit and discussions around the various options invaluable. Communication around appointments and fittings was excellent and the fitter did an outstanding job. The final product has surpassed our expectations and finishes off our newly refurbished house beautifully. We would highly recommend! Tamsin & Andrew

One Visit

Yes – just the one. No sales person – all our sales consultants fit shutters as well and so you not only get great advise but the production measurements taken by one of our sales consultant/fitters at the same time.

We bring the showroom to you

During your home consultation we will show you a selection of shutter materials, operation mechanisms, louvre sizes and colours. Large shutter panels will make it easy for you to see how shutters would look at your windows. During the consultation we will also have images of previous installs so to help you visualise your shutters.

Made to Measure

Our shutters are made to measure and not off the shelf or cut to size. We even supply CAD drawings should a client require that – normally this would be for a special shape shutter or shutters for french doors, which require special shaping of the shutter itself.

Fitting

Our team will take care of the fit. Experienced shutter fitters for your peace of mind.

Reading Bay Window Shutters

We love bay window shutters. If you have a street facing home and are looking for internal plantation shutters then like our client you probably have some issues with privacy both from pedestrians and your neighbours. Shutters are great for splay bays and box bays as they follow the natural lines of the windows meaning the room feels spacious whilst you still are able to control privacy and light. They look stunning as well!

Reading Plantation Window Shutters

The great thing about slatted window covering such as shutters is that they play with light. How you adjust you shutter blinds means that light can be reflected on walls or ceilings and they bring light into the room – especially if you pick a light coloured shutter rather than a grey, for example. Choosing the right slat size is also key – you want a good proportion to the size of the shutter panel but also to maximise the light ingress into the room.

Reading Waterproof Bathroom Shutters

How do you make a stunning new bathroom look even better. We think waterproof shutters are the solution. Our bathroom shutters are made from a composite material and come with marine grade stainless steel hinges and can be left in running water without deteriorating. We would suggest you have these waterproof shutters in a pure white finish to match your sanitaryware.

Shaped Shutters

The challenge here was not just the shaped shutters but the inward opening doors below. We designed these gable end shutters so that access to balconies and doors was easy. We specialise in large window shutters and shaped window shutters and have many images that we can show you of these types of installations meaning that you don’t have to hide those architectural shapes behind curtains.

Tier On Tier Shutters Reading Traditional Style Shutters

You may have spotted a lovely review we had for some tier on tier shutters  we installed. If you click the link you can scroll through some of these images. Having a great home always help set shutters off beautifully but we also belive shutters can transform rooms and add that final touch.

Tier on tier shutters work very well on large windows due to the fact that top and bottom rails (the non moving parts at the top and bottom of each panel) of the independent shutter panel sections do not dominate the window which they would do on much shorter, smaller windows.

We will provide expert advice and show you waht your window shutters could end up looking like.

Tracked Shutters Reading

Large bifolding or sliding doors are great but they have two main draw backs – heat and if you are overlooked then your neighbours can see you in the rooms that you probably use the most.

Tracked shutters allow you to control heat and privacy but also provide you with the option to totally slide the shutters out of the way. Have a look through some of the images and you will get a feel for what tracked or sliding shutters can do.

Reading – A Modern City

Nestled within the picturesque landscapes of Berkshire, the historic town of Reading stands as a vibrant tapestry woven with a rich blend of tradition and modernity. This quintessential English locale, located at the confluence of the River Thames and River Kennet, offers a captivating fusion of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and contemporary living.

Reading’s storied past unfolds through its cobblestone streets, ancient structures, and iconic landmarks. Its origins trace back to the 8th century when it was established as a Saxon settlement, and over the centuries, it has evolved into a bustling hub of commerce and culture. The remnants of its medieval roots can still be witnessed in the form of the beautifully preserved Reading Abbey, a majestic monastic ruin that whispers tales of bygone eras.

Beyond its historical charm, Reading stands as a modern-day nucleus of innovation and progress. The town proudly embraces its role as the Thames Valley’s economic heart, with a thriving business district that beckons entrepreneurs, tech enthusiasts, and startups. The dynamic pulse of the town resonates through its bustling shopping centers, diverse culinary offerings, and a lively arts scene that features theaters, galleries, and music venues.

Nature enthusiasts find solace in the town’s verdant parks and green spaces, offering serene retreats for relaxation and outdoor activities. For instance, the expansive Forbury Gardens presents a tranquil oasis adorned with ornate gardens and an intriguing collection of sculptures, providing a haven for quiet contemplation.

Reading also proudly hosts the world-renowned Reading Festival, an annual music extravaganza that draws music lovers from around the globe. This event transforms the town into a pulsating hub of rhythm and melody, showcasing a diverse lineup of artists across genres.

The fusion of its historical legacy and contemporary vitality makes Reading an alluring destination for both residents and visitors. Whether strolling along the Riverside or delving into the pages of history at the Museum of Reading, this charming Berkshire town weaves an enchanting narrative that continues to evolve with each passing day.
