💧Waterproof Shutters – Stylish, Practical & Built to Last!

/

Bathroom windows can be some of the trickiest to dress. You need privacy, good ventilation, and a finish that can withstand steam, condensation, and splashes. That’s why waterproof plantation shutters are the perfect choice for kitchens, bathrooms, wet rooms, and ensuites.

At The ShutterShack, we supply and install a full range of waterproof shutters that not only look beautiful but are also designed to last.

Why Choose Waterproof Shutters?

Plantation shutters bring style and practicality together, making them an ideal kitchen and bathroom window dressing. Here’s why our customers love them:

✅ Ultimate Privacy Control

With bathroom shutters, you can enjoy privacy day and night. Keep the slats angled for natural light while blocking outside views, or close them fully when you want complete seclusion.

✅ Easy Maintenance

Unlike fabric blinds or curtains, shutters don’t hold onto moisture. A quick wipe with a damp cloth keeps them looking pristine — no fuss, no build-up of mould or mildew.

✅ Built to Last

Our Faux Wood waterproof shutters are made from durable vinyl with a high-grade painted finish. This means they won’t warp, crack, or peel when exposed to steam or direct water — unlike traditional fabric or timber dressings.

Where Else Can Waterproof Shutters Be Used?

While bathrooms are the most common choice, waterproof shutters are also perfect for kitchens and utility rooms — especially for windows located close to sinks or areas prone to splashes.

Just like in bathrooms, waterproof shutters in kitchens and laundries offer:

  • Moisture resistance against steam, spills, and condensation.

  • Easy cleaning with a simple wipe-down.

  • Style and consistency, allowing you to match them with shutters in the rest of your home.

This makes them a smart, long-lasting solution for any room where humidity or water exposure is a concern.

Styles of Waterproof Shutters

Waterproof windows come in all shapes and sizes, and shutters can be designed to suit your exact needs. Here are the most popular options for bathrooms, kitchens, and utility rooms:

  • Café Style Shutters – These shutters cover only the lower portion of your window, leaving the top open for maximum light while still maintaining privacy. They work beautifully on taller bathroom windows.

  • Full Height Shutters – Covering the entire window, this classic style offers complete privacy and a sleek, elegant finish. Perfect for bathrooms and kitchens at street level or where maximum seclusion is needed.

  • Tier-on-Tier Shutters – These cover the whole window but feature independently opening top and bottom panels. This clever design gives you the best of both worlds: keep the lower tier closed for privacy while opening the top tier for natural light. A versatile option for full control over light and privacy.

  • Tracked Shutters – Ideal for wider windows, patio doors, or large bathroom openings. These shutters slide smoothly along a discreet track, making them practical as well as stylish.

  • Special-Shaped Shutters – Got an unusual window shape? Arches, triangles, or porthole-style bathroom windows can all be fitted with custom shutters, ensuring no window is left uncovered.

FAQs About Waterproof Shutters

Which material is best for bathrooms?

If your shutters will be exposed to direct water (such as a shower window), we recommend Faux Wood waterproof shutters. These look just like timber but are completely moisture-resistant.

For bathrooms with good ventilation and no direct water contact, hardwood or hybrid shutters can also be considered.

What happens if my shutters get wet?

Our Faux Wood shutters are waterproof. We would advise drying them with a clean cloth to prevent watermarks.

Can I fit waterproof shutters to a shower window?

Yes! Waterproof Faux Wood shutters are designed for exactly this scenario. They’re slightly heavier than wooden shutters but just as stylish — and our installation team will ensure a perfect fit.

What if tiles or rails obstruct my window?

Don’t worry — features like tiles, dado rails, or window trims don’t prevent shutters from being installed. Our surveyor will assess your windows and design a fitting solution that works.
