DIY window shutters – an affordable alternative for your home

April 22, 2021 | Leave a Comment

My dream for my home is to have all my windows dressed with full wooden Window shutters. They can have such a dreamy cottage style look but also a very modern feel depending on the colour and style you choose.

I assumed that wooden shutters for my home Interior would have to be bespoke made to measure and professionally fitted. I have hardly dared look into purchasing shutters for my windows as I expected the cost to be sky high!

So I was amazed to find out a company in my home town of Leeds West Yorkshire offers both a do-it-yourself, self-fit option alongside a check measure-and-fit service for shutters in Leeds.

Why choose DIY shutters from California Shutters?

California Shutters is the only Leeds shutter company to offer both a do-it-yourself, self-fit option alongside a check measure-and-fit service. This gives me the choice of having them professionally fitted and leaving It all to the experts, or I can choose to fit these myself and save money. I don’t pretend I am a DIY expert in fact far from it, but I am confident with the tools available on the website that are simple to download I could actually fit the shutters myself.

The Website has a whole host of easy-to-follow DIY guides and videos, ensuring that you’ll have expert guidance every step of the way for your shutters. These easy-to-follow guides help with everything From measuring up your windows, placing your custom order to the installation. So, If I did opt to fit the shutters myself then I could use the money I would save to do even more DIY around my home and garden.

What are the benefits of window shutters?

They are so many benefits of having window shutters from the obvious like improving your privacy to adding thermal insulation which in turn will cut down your home’s energy costs. The Most Important to me as well as the way they make my windows look aesthetically is the added security window shutters provide to your home.

California Shutters individually design a great choice of shutters to fit your style and budget. They are based here in my hometown of Yorkshire yet they deliver shutters to all areas of the UK. If you are considering the check measure service, you can simply enter your postcode at the checkout to find out if they have an installer in your area.

There is a fantastic pdf on the website that details all the different shapes, colours and options you can choose that suit your budget and windows.

Perfect For DIY novices

If you are handy around the home and a bit of a DIY enthusiast then fitting your shutters yourself could save you some serious money. Measuring and fitting shutters yourself will cost you 40% less than having them installed. This obviously makes me happy as perhaps I can make my dream a reality
