Why Cafe-Style Shutters Are Not Just Great For Cafes

You don’t have to venture overseas to see café-style shutters, although you will undoubtedly encounter them many times in some continental destinations. But you can see them here too; after all, it adds to the vibe of many a Sussex seaside café.
If you are a café owner, you may think of installing them to add style and character to your establishment. But there is no reason to assume they are only for cafes. They can look great in homes as well and also have lots of practical benefits.
By allowing unobstructed views (and light) through the upper window but enabling you to restrict these (or eliminate them altogether) lower down, it is great for managing privacy.
This can be particularly useful for a ground-floor window that faces straight out onto a main road, with a lot of people walking or driving past, especially in a densely populated area like the central parts of Brighton and Hove.
With these in place, you won’t have to worry about strangers peering through the window, which may also aid home security. It’s an extension of the same principle that someone eating or drinking in a café won’t want strangers disturbing them from the street outside.
Because café style shutters are also extremely stylish, they are also versatile in the sense that they look great in all windows. And with this comes practicality too, as they can be installed in just about any configuration, from bay windows to flat ones, from tall to square.
None of this alters the historical reality that cafe-style shutters were originally invented for exactly that reason. But when you have something this versatile, why restrict it to just one setting? Many householders who have them in their homes will agree that you don’t need a till, tables and a selection of cakes in the room to it suitable for them.
