Why this range
What Alabaster does well
01
Built as cafe style shutters
Cut and finished as cafe style shutters for your exact window, rather than trimmed down from a stock size. The mechanism is sized to the drop, so it hangs straight and stays that way.
02
2 colourways to compare
Colour behaves differently in north light, in the evening and against your walls. Pick the ones you like here and your advisor brings those exact swatches to the visit.
03
Chosen for real rooms
Customers most often put this range in bathroom shutters, bay window shutters, bedroom shutters — which is a better guide than any spec sheet.
Style notes
What Alabaster is like, and where it works
Alabaster is a solid shutter range in a clean white finish, made up of wide adjustable louvres set within a simple frame. It suits full-height windows, bay windows and tricky shaped recesses, and the tier-on-tier build lets you open the top half for light while keeping the bottom private.
A crisp off-white, matt-painted finish with wide horizontal louvres, shown here as full-height solid panels with a tier-on-tier style split so the top and bottom sections open independently.

Made-to-measure shutters for a traditional bedroom
A full-height window dressed with tier-on-tier shutters, suited to a room with soft furnishings, a bedside table and warm neutral walls.
The tiered louvres let you angle light in during the day while still shielding the bed area from the window at night.
Made-to-measure shutters for a coastal-style bathroom
A panelled bathroom with a freestanding tub and natural textures, where full-height white shutters sit neatly against tongue-and-groove walls.
The solid white louvres echo the clean, coastal look of painted panelling and pale flooring.
Made-to-measure shutters for a bay window living room
A bay window fitted with shaped shutter panels, working well alongside upholstered furniture and painted woodwork.
Shaped shutters are cut to fit the angles of a bay, giving each window a tailored, uniform finish.
- Tier-on-tier construction allows the top and bottom sections to open separately for adjustable light and privacy.
- Shaped shutters can be cut to fit bay, arched or other non-standard window outlines.
- Available in two colours: Default and Lace, both in the white and cream family.

Good to know
Questions we get asked
Alabaster is offered in two shades, Default and Lace, both sitting within the white and cream colour family. An advisor can bring both along on a home visit so you can compare them against your walls and woodwork.
Yes. The range includes shaped shutters, which are cut to follow the angles of a bay or other irregular window, alongside standard full-height and tier-on-tier options for straight windows.
The panels are split into two independent sections, so you can open the top half to let light in while keeping the lower half closed for privacy, which is useful for bedrooms facing the street or a neighbouring property.
A local advisor visits your home with samples, measures every window precisely and quotes on the spot. Once you're happy, our fitter installs them at a time that suits you — measuring and fitting are included free.
Lead times depend on the range, fabric and any customisation. Your advisor will confirm an exact lead time at the measuring appointment so you know precisely when to expect installation.
Yes — every made-to-measure blind, shutter and motor comes with a 1-year guarantee covering manufacturing defects.
Yes. Pick up to 5 colours you'd like to see and your local advisor will bring those exact swatches to your free home visit so you can see and feel them in your own light. They'll also bring a full range on the day if you'd like to compare more.
