Case Study 1 - Plantation Shutters for a Kent country home

At Lifestyle Shutters we are always delighted to receive positive feedback from customers. At our new website we have a dedicated section where we can share this positive feedback. This blog post is one case study that is now available to view.

Case Study

Mr & Mrs Bilson were living in Haywards Heath and were moving to a new build house on the outskirts of Hythe, Kent. They arranged to visit our Uckfield showroom to get a feel for initial costs and the wooden plantation shutters themselves. Once the windows were in place in their new home a detailed design survey was arranged.

It was suggested 63mm louvres throughout the house with Half and half shutters to frame the windows and to match the window framework and help improve their insulation. The 89mm larger louvers were suggested for the Kitchen / sunroom to allow more light through during the summer

Comments about internal shutters for an ideal home

"My wife and I were looking for some indoor plantation style shutters to give our new home a contemporary look and came across the Lifestyle Shutters website. It was clear from the website that they were the sort of thing we were looking for and therefore we decided to visit their showroom in Uckfield to get a clearer indication of options and prices.

We met Nathan at the showroom, who gave us his full attention to explain the various materials, designs, and colours available and tips on the best options for our requirements. We also at that point had a fair indication of costs. Nathan suggested a site visit to our house to discuss in more detail the most appropriate design options regarding panel configuration and louvre dimensions and where to fit the internal wood shutters to the windows.

We both felt that our initial showroom visit and subsequent site survey were handled in a clear concise and professional manner and at no time did we feel under pressure to proceed with an order. We subsequently placed our order to have the entire house fitted out and were given a detailed sales order confirmation and an estimated delivery and fitting date.

Delivery was on cue with fitting completed in one day during the advised week given at time of initial order placement.

We are delighted with the results. The precision of the fitting was excellent, and the aesthetics of the shutter configurations suggested by Nathan are very pleasing to the eye. We also noted that the shutters have improved the insulation properties of the house, a benefit that we were not fully expecting.

We were also impressed with the after sales service. As a few minor fitting adjustments were required which were carried out promptly and efficiently. We have no hesitation in recommending this Shutter Company for the quality of it's product and service level."
