What Is The Name Of Those Shutters...

[peachybabe]

.....that are hung on the inside of your windows. Not the Plantation shutters with the "blades", but the really old fashioned type that are solid. The only way I can think to describe them would be that each shutter is made from a sheet of mdf, with a small decorative hole cut into it. They then fold across the window. A bit like the window shutters in old houses.

TIA.

Do you mean like old chateau shutters?

[brainiac]

I think chateau shutters are the French kind that are fixed to the outside of properties.

[peachybabe]

Yes, sort of. Maybe not quite as substantial but very similar.

[peachybabe]

Brainiac. I want them to go on the inside.

[Elina]

Yeah, sorry I realised after posting brainiac ... here's what I had in mind but as brainiac said, they're exterior .. http://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/window-box-france-shutters.html

Wow, I'd have expected that sort of price to include fitting. Maybe I'll consider it next year.

Shutters that are hung on the inside of windows are typically called "interior shutters" or "indoor shutters." There are different types of interior shutters, and one popular style is known as "plantation shutters." Plantation shutters have wide louvers or slats and are often associated with a classic and timeless aesthetic. They are designed to be installed on the interior side of windows and can be opened or closed to control light and privacy.

Other types of interior shutters may include traditional shutters with smaller slats, cafe shutters that cover only the lower part of the window, and solid shutters that do not have adjustable louvers. The specific name may vary based on the style and design of the shutter, but "interior shutters" is a general term that encompasses a variety of options.
