Bathroom Shutters in Amble Grove, Heaton, Newcastle

We recently installed tier-on-tier, solid panel, wooden shutters in this bathroom in Heaton, Newcastle Upon Tyne. Even though you can see the amazing results for yourself in our gallery section, we’ve decided to go into a little more detail about this project, below.

A practical solution to a unique challenge

Finding a solution for dressing a tall window in a ground-floor bathroom can present its own unique challenges. Privacy, light control and functionality are all practical aspects that need to be taken into consideration. We think you’ll agree that our customer made the right decision by opting for a tier-on-tier style in a solid panel design. As the panels can be operated independently, this makes it easy to control both light and privacy at any time of day.

With the bathroom positioned at street level, solid panel shutters also help to reduce external noise and artificial light from streetlamps, and other sources, during the hours of darkness too. This customer has the option of folding all the panels back, so the entire window is on view, or adjusting accordingly to suit their requirements.

Combining traditional charm with contemporary style

From a style perspective, it was important not to lose any of the traditional charm this bathroom has to offer. The objective of retaining the original character whilst also providing a contemporary feel has certainly been achieved with the introduction of these solid panel wooden shutters.

The pure white finish blends perfectly with the surrounding tile design and freestanding bath, with the adjacent wall and floor offering a distinctive contrast. With subway wall tiles arranged in contrasting herringbone and classic brick patterns, this provides another intriguing element within a bathroom interior showcasing a timeless quality.

A little about the Home

This home is situated in Heaton, a suburb in Newcastle Upon Tyne. Neighbouring districts located on the outskirts of Newcastle city centre, include Jesmond and Sandyford. The house is a classic Victorian terrace, a prevalent design throughout this area. The high ceilings create a spacious feel throughout the home, with the large windows enabling a desirable amount of natural light flow.
