What Are the Benefits of Made to Measure Bay Window Shutters?

Bay windows are a standout feature in any home. They pull in natural light, expand your view, and add instant character. But they can also be a challenge when it comes to dressing them right. That’s where made to measure shutters from ShutterMan come in.

Custom-built for your bay windows, our shutters don’t just look the part. They solve real problems. Whether it’s privacy, light control, insulation or overall style, made to measure shutters give you practical, lasting results.

Here’s why more homeowners are choosing them.

Privacy Without Sacrificing Light

One of the main benefits of bay windows is the natural light they offer. But that wide open space can also make you feel exposed, especially if your window faces a street or neighbouring property.

Off-the-shelf curtains and blinds often fall short. They either block too much light or leave awkward gaps. Shutters designed specifically for your bay windows avoid this. They follow the shape of your frame exactly, and give you full control over visibility.

With tier on tier shutters or café style options, you can adjust sections independently. Keep the bottom closed for privacy and leave the top open for daylight. Or tilt the slats just enough to stop people seeing in while still letting the sunshine through. You decide. No compromise.

Mastering the Light

Natural light is a gift. The trick is managing it on your terms.

Bay window shutters put you in charge. With adjustable louvres, you can direct light exactly where you want it, morning or evening. Block the glare without plunging the room into darkness. Keep your home bright without letting the sun bleach your furniture or flooring.

What makes the difference is the fit. ShutterMan shutters are made to measure with millimetre precision. That ensures no unwanted gaps, no clunky overlap, and no uneven light leaks.

We pay special attention to detail trims and frames, building them to follow the curves or angles of your bay. Whether your window has a gentle bow or sharp corners, we match it exactly for seamless light control.

Insulation That Works Year-Round

Most heat in the home is lost through windows. Bay windows, with their multiple panes and frames, can be a real weak spot in winter. And in summer, they can act like a greenhouse.

Fitting made to measure shutters can help tackle both problems.

Closed shutters form a barrier that traps heat inside when it’s cold, and blocks heat from entering when it’s hot. Our frames sit snug to the window recess, reducing draughts and keeping the temperature steady.

This isn’t just about comfort. It also helps cut your energy bills. Less heat lost means less heating needed. More insulation means less strain on your air conditioning or fans. It’s a smart step toward better energy efficiency.

At ShutterMan, we can suggest additional upgrades too. Think thicker louvre profiles, thermal finishes, or solid shutters for the best possible insulation effect. We’ll help you choose what fits your window and your budget.

Style That Complements Your Home

Bay window shutters don’t just perform well. They look great doing it.

Their clean lines and crisp frames complement almost any interior. Whether your style is modern or traditional, our range of finishes and materials means there’s something to suit your space.

Choose from hardwood, composite or waterproof materials. Select a painted finish that blends into your walls or a stained wood tone that adds warmth. Go bold or subtle. Go classic or contemporary. The choice is yours.

Because our shutters are made to fit your window exactly, they enhance your bay rather than covering it up. The shape of the window is preserved and elevated, not flattened by bulky fabric or clashing curtain rods.

Fitting Made Simple, Quoting Made Honest

At ShutterMan, we believe a good product starts with a good fit. That’s why we come to you, measure your bay windows accurately, and design shutters that align with every edge, curve and recess.

We’ll run through frame options, suggest trim styles that enhance the fit, and talk through how to get the best out of your particular bay window. Whether you’ve got a Victorian square bay or an angled modern build, we’ve done it before and we’ll get it right.

We’ll also write your quote by hand there and then, so you can see everything clearly. No waiting for emails. No chasing follow-ups. Just a straightforward price, based on what you choose.

We’re proud to offer shutter solutions for all budgets. Whether you’re fitting out one room or the whole house, we’ll help you find the right balance between look, performance and price.
