Waterproof Vienna shutters closed for privacy in a modern bathroom

Bathroom Shutters

Fabric blinds and curtains are not built for bathrooms — they absorb moisture, harbour mildew and quickly look tired. Our bespoke waterproof bathroom shutters are a stylish, long-lasting alternative that handle steam, splashes and condensation without warping, swelling or staining. Made-to-measure for your exact window, they give you complete control of light, privacy and ventilation in the most demanding room in the house.

Waterproof & Heat Resistant

Our Vienna range is built from a high-grade ABS/PVC composite that is fully waterproof and heat-resistant. It will not warp, swell, crack or discolour when exposed to steam from showers and baths, condensation on cold winter mornings, or hot direct sunlight through south-facing bathroom windows. Vienna shutters carry a 10-year warranty, so you can fit them with confidence — even directly above a bath or shower screen.

Total Privacy, On Your Terms

Bathrooms need privacy more than any other room — but most homeowners don't want to lose natural light to get it. Plantation shutters solve this perfectly. The adjustable louvres (the slats) let you precisely angle the view from outside while still letting daylight stream in from above.

For bathrooms that are overlooked by neighbours, we particularly recommend split louvres or a tier-on-tier configuration — close the bottom half completely for privacy in the bath or shower, and leave the top half open for sunlight. The choice is completely yours, and you can change it in seconds.

Wipe-Clean & Hygienic

Unlike fabric blinds and curtains — which absorb moisture and can become prone to stains, damp patches, mould and mildew — splashes and watermarks wipe straight off our PVC bathroom shutters with a warm damp cloth. There is no fabric to harbour allergens, no cords to grow mouldy, and no need to take down for washing. They are the obvious hygienic choice for any bathroom, en-suite or wet-room.

Helps Reduce Condensation

Bathrooms are the leading source of condensation in most UK homes — and condensation on glass is the main cause of black mould around window frames. Plantation shutters give you another layer of insulation between the warm bathroom air and the cold glass, helping to reduce condensation. The adjustable louvres also let you ventilate the room more easily after a hot bath or shower, helping moisture escape rather than settling on walls and ceilings.

Made For Awkward Bathroom Windows

Bathroom windows are often the most awkward in the house — small obscured-glass panes, narrow horizontal openings above baths, sash windows that need to open over a basin, or shaped/arched windows in older properties. Every shutter we make is bespoke and designed around your window. We can fit:

  • Small obscured-glass bathroom windows (with bespoke louvre sizing)
  • Wide horizontal windows above bath panels
  • Sash windows above basins or vanity units
  • Shaped, arched and circular bathroom windows
  • En-suite windows with limited recess depth

Frequently Asked: Bathroom Shutters

Are bathroom shutters waterproof?

Yes — our Vienna range is made from a high-grade ABS/PVC composite that is fully waterproof, heat-resistant and will not warp, crack or swell. They are the right choice for bathrooms, en-suites, wet-rooms, kitchens and utility rooms.

Do shutters cause damp or mould in a bathroom?

No. Unlike fabric coverings, plantation shutters do not absorb moisture. The adjustable louvres improve airflow and help reduce condensation on the glass — a leading cause of bathroom mould. PVC shutters wipe clean and will not harbour mildew.

Can I use real wooden shutters in my bathroom?

Real wood is not recommended for bathrooms with showers, baths or poor ventilation. For a wet bathroom always choose the PVC Vienna range. For a downstairs cloakroom or WC with good ventilation and no shower, our Worcester or Ashwood real-wood ranges may be suitable.

How do bathroom shutters give privacy without losing light?

Adjustable louvres let you angle the slats to block any outside view while still letting daylight in from above. Split-louvre and tier-on-tier configurations let you close the bottom half for privacy and leave the top half open for sunlight — ideal for overlooked bathrooms.

Will bathroom shutters fit my window shape?

Yes — every shutter is bespoke and built to your exact window. We routinely fit shutters to small obscured-glass bathroom windows, awkward sash windows above baths, and shaped or arched bathroom windows. Our free in-home measuring service confirms the right configuration.
