About California Shutters
Written by the company
Based in Hove, East Sussex, California Shutters® has been styling the UK and Europe’s windows and doors with quality DIY shutters since 2002. Easy to measure, customise, and install, our shutters are made from the finest quality materials.
All our products are made to the highest standards and are identical to the plantation shutters you’ll find from a full measure and installation company. The only difference is the price. As a DIY company, we don’t pay for installers to come to your home. It’s these savings that we pass onto you.
All DIY shutters from California Shutters are 100% made to measure and never cut to size. We keep our pricing simple too, charging customers per square metre. Available in a range of styles, materials, and finishes, made-to-measure shutters are the perfect statement piece for any space. Choose from our sustainably sourced Paulownia hardwood or our waterproof, UK-made faux wood. No matter your décor or style, we’ve got a shutter to suit.
Don’t worry if you’re not a dab hand at DIY either. Our measuring and fitting guides will take you through everything step by step. And if you’re still unsure, you’re welcome to contact our friendly team of experts. They’ll take you through things step by step.
Interior shutters are the UK’s fastest growing window covering and while it might seem that DIY shutters are a tricky undertaking, we have 1,000s of satisfied customers who’ll happily tell you otherwise.
In 2008 we were delighted to be selected as the exclusive supplier of window shutters for B&Q and their customers, and it’s a relationship we maintain to this day.

Very happy with my California Shutters
Very happy with my California Shutters. Initially I made an inquiry about the shutters and received a quick reply answering all of my questions and even offering further information which was very helpful. Ordering online was very easy, which was great as we were ordering shutters for 2x Bay Windows. Received the shutters on time and we installed them the same day. The shutters look great!

Hi Michael,
Thank you for your review and feedback of your experience! We really appreciate you taking the time to share this.
We have a few different ranges available, all subject to different lead times based on material and location of manufacturing. We do have a few ranges that are produced in Northern Ireland with just a 6-9 day turnaround time.
If you do choose to work with us again, which we very much hope you do, it would be our recommendation to opt for another range.
Very Best,
