Well they're hardly going to stop air flowing, it's draught reduction I'm going for.
I've got gaps I can presently fit my fingers into around the sash windows. Well-fitted shutters with fairly wide slats are going to reduce the overall space for draughts, and whilst I think some air will bleed through the space around the slats I also think it's going to take the existing draughts and soften them up and spread them out so they're not felt.
Right now one gap in particular lands right on where a chair is :D

Just had them in for a quote for shutters on our place.
The goals being:
Our flat (high ceilings, tall windows):
Quotes are approx:
This is for full height shutters, hinged vertically in the middle, hidden mechanism, white, 76mm slats, split level control half height (aligned with sash overlap), stainless steel hinge + PVC in the bathroom for water proofing.
Having checked the cost of doing it cheaper from a few other places... it's not bad. London Shutter Co for Living + Kitchen + Bed came out around £2,850 inc VAT (avg £407 per window). But TBH I wasn't as convinced with them - materials, communication, etc... just felt off.
The hope here is that if I go with Clemente Brown then they know their own stuff and it should go flawlessly and the quality of the shutters and the install should mean it's just done and peace of mind.
Is it worth the premium? @amey how are yours?
