Most homeowners love the idea of elegant plantation shutters on every window (until they reach the kitchen sink). A protruding tap is often seen as a deal-breaker because standard solid panels or wide shutter doors swing out and clash with the mixer tap, making it impossible to open the shutters fully.
At Goddens Home Interiors in March, we see this challenge every week. The good news? It’s easily solved with bi-fold shutter panels.
Why bi-fold shutters are perfect for kitchen windows?
- Panels fold neatly back on themselves instead of swinging out
- Zero interference with even the tallest swan-neck or pull-out taps
- Full access to your sink at all times
- Same beautiful light control and privacy as regular shutters
- Available in waterproof materials ideal for kitchens (Antigua & Java ranges)
In the March installation we completed this week (pictured), bi-fold shutters transformed a previously “impossible” kitchen window into one of the favourite features of the house.
Don’t let a tap put you off having stunning shutters throughout your home. With the right specification, every window can look perfect.
