What materials do you use at The Oxford Shutter Company?

At The Oxford Shutter Company, we use a range of materials. For example, MDF, hardwood and a high-quality ABS for our 100% waterproof range. If you require extra security, we offer painted aluminium options too. Don’t worry; we always stay away from vinyl and cheap plastic shutters. This is because we feel that they do not provide the quality and finish that we would be proud to supply. At The Oxford Shutter Company, we offer the best materials on the market.

Will my shutter install block out light?

Yes, your shutter install will block out light to ensure a good and peaceful night’s sleep. Our made-to-measure blackout shutter and shade option is perfect for customers who require complete darkness at night or just want to block out the extra harsh sunlight. This shutter option has the ability to block out almost 100% of the external light.

This option is ideal for children who need to sleep during the day or someone who works night shifts. If this sounds familiar, this could be the shutter option for you. The integrated shutter and shade blackout blind stops light bleeding around the edges. This allows you to get the optimal amount of light reduction.

This type of shutter is ideal for a narrow channel as the frame overlaps the blind. If this sounds like an ideal option for you, go on our website today and book your free shutter consultation with one of our expert team members.

Can I still open my windows after a shutter install?

Yes, you can absolutely still open and operate your windows after a shutter installation. However, it is important that you select the right type of mount for your new shutters. This is to avoid blocking any window functions. Don’t worry; we can help you with all of this so you will be able to open your window easily. Get in contact today so our knowledgeable team can explain how the shutter installation would work.
