What are tier-on-tier shutters?

Tier-on-tier shutters are crafted with two sets of panels, one above the other, allowing them to be opened and closed separately. This clever design makes them one of the most adaptable shutter styles, giving you greater control over how your windows look and feel throughout the day.

They’re especially well suited to taller windows, bay windows and period properties, where both practicality and style are equally important.

Frequently asked questions

  • What are tier-on-tier shutters?

    Tier-on-tier shutters feature two separate panels — a top and a bottom — which can be opened and closed independently for added flexibility.

  • How much do tier-on-tier shutters cost?

    As each shutter is made-to-measure, pricing depends on your window size and chosen finish. Your Plumbs expert will provide a personalised quote during your free home consultation.

  • Are tier-on-tier shutters suitable for all windows?

    They work particularly well on taller or larger windows, but can be adapted to suit a wide range of styles. We’ll advise on the best option during your consultation.

  • Can you open tier-on-tier shutters in different ways?

    Yes — you can open both tiers fully, keep one closed and the other open, or adjust them throughout the day depending on your needs.

  • Do tier-on-tier shutters block out light completely?

    Tier-on-tier shutters can significantly reduce the amount of light entering your room, particularly when both the top and bottom panels are closed. However, as with all shutter styles, small amounts of light may filter through the louvres. If you’re looking for a darker, more restful space, your shutters can be paired with made-to-measure curtains to enhance the overall blackout effect.

  • Do tier-on-tier shutters help with privacy?

    Yes, their split design allows you to maintain privacy at lower level while still opening the top panels for a lighter feel.

  • How long does installation take?

    As your shutters are made specifically for your home, installation typically takes place within 8–9 weeks after ordering. However, we do also offer an express option with delivery and installation within 2-4 weeks.
