A window of opportunity for your business


When it comes to commercial shutters, we don’t design and fit shutters for offices with functionality our sole consideration – though, of course, they are functional in that they give a measure of privacy to a room, keep you and your staff cooler in summer and warmer in winter, and don’t require the hassle of dry cleaning.

We firmly believe that quality shutters make a room appealing to the eye, and in a commercial space that eye belongs to a potential client or customer. First impressions count, and if a room feels both light and spacious (effects which well-chosen shutters can produce), and the materials used in the fixtures and furnishings lend them an air of distinction, the person entering for the first time will want to stay and eat (if it is a cafe), or be reassured that they are dealing with a company that gets all the details right and thus be readier to strike that all-important deal.

Naturally, our company has built its reputation on getting the details right. Our profession is high quality design, and the team at Lifestyle Shutters can advise you on all aspects of the available fabrics and trims for your premises’ interiors. Our own premises feature a showroom where you can see our full range of shutters.

As well as serving a practical purpose, a window dressing can become a promotional tool. A logo on your blinds will help people to remember your name and will keep you in the frame even when you have shut for the night, the wording on your blinds giving your organisation exposure to everyone who walks past your window.

There’s another financial implication in the shape of a lower insurance premium, as our fabrics are flame-retardant. And the insulation provided by shutters could just lower your heating bill, too.

Over the years, Lifestyle Shutters has worked on projects for restaurants, hotels, a chiropractic clinic and an office for an environmental services business.

Our shutters can be customised to fit any type of window in any building, so whether your business is banking or bagels we will work with you for the ideal solution.
