I'd be a little reluctant to get the non- slated type - especially if we are to experience this type of weather regularly - completely prevents airflow. If you want shutters, I'd go for slatted plus blackout curtains. Saying that, eliminating all light from kids bedrooms is just creating a rod for your own back - try to go on holiday or to family/friend's houses where the conditions vary and you'll end up with tantrums.

It's not too bad actually. We do the blackout thing and on holiday we just buy some foil. A bit of water on the window and the foil sticks for weeks and is applied quickly and removed easily.

Wish I'd known this when my kids were younger!

Hi,

My mum lives in Dorset and she had her shutters installed by a great company, she still feels they have great customer service too.

This is the phone number of the guy who went to see her who is local - 07590541124 - Ashley


He is still working for that company but I can't remember the name of them.


Good luck

    • They are. We are back to the same construction racket 8am-8pm every day for the whole of this week. The wall is one of the last things to come down, probably on Saturday. Then we can see how much of a mess they've made, especially the quantity of non-biodegradeable litter trampled into the earth. GALA 2025 - Production Schedule.pdf
    • The irony of the name of this festival...
    • @Rockets be a sweety and stop using the large font, it's annoying and I expect most can comprehend. Still not sure how this festival affects you.  Or is it a case that you just like taking on causes 
    • It is intimidating looking through the book sections now.  I sometimes wonder if they're stocking bookshops' remainders. OTOH, when I put  some books out in a cardboard box for taking, it was  encouraging to see that a fair proportion of those taken were aged hardbacks.
