Investing in shutters is the perfect way to upgrade your home with a stylish and practical window dressing.
If you’re contemplating placing an order for some brand-new fabulous shutters, you’ll probably already know all about the benefits.
What you’ll be needing to know now is the answer to questions like, what is the current lead time for shutters?
The short answer is that they can take from 2 weeks to 12 weeks, depending on the range you choose.
So, with this in mind let’s break down all the important factors to consider about how long you will wait for your shutters…
How does the shutter-buying journey start?
The first step on your way to fabulous shutters is to browse through our range of shutters and find the perfect window covering. Then you can use our online estimator or go ahead and book a free home survey appointment and we’ll measure up accurately and give a no-obligation quote.
What are the manufacturing and delivery times for shutters?
So, you’ve had your home survey appointment and signed off on your stunning new window treatment. Now you’ll be wondering how long will shutters take to make.
Once you’ve placed your order and we have confirmation of the invoice details, we’ll begin to handcraft your beautiful bespoke, and affordable shutters.
For our hardwood shutters (made overseas) there is an estimated lead time of 11-13 weeks from order placement to installation. You can also pay a sum of £24 per sqm to have your shutters delivered a little quicker in 8-10 weeks.It’s important to know that lead times may be longer if the bespoke nature of your shutters are a bit more complicated (like special shapes and custom colours) or if you place your order around significant dates like Chinese New Year.
Get even shorter lead times with our Express Shutters range
At Shutterly Fabulous we’re not about the ordinary. So why wait the standard times for your stylish new window dressing?
Our UK made faux wood shutters are just as stylish as our hardwood range, but are now available in an industry-leading 2 week install. This means you now have access to our quality, luxurious and best-selling options without having to wait.
Our express shutters, crafted from durable faux wood are perfect for any room in your home. They are most popular in kitchens and bathrooms due to waterproof properties, but don’t look out of place in bedrooms or living rooms either.
How long do shutters take to install?
Once your shutters have been manufactured, we’ll notify you and arrange a date for the installation to take place.
Whilst we are scheduling your installation appointment your shutters (once at our UK port) are safely stored until you are happy for us to come to your home to install them.
On the day of your installation appointment, our team of expert shutter installers will arrive and begin the process.
The installation time for made-to-measure shutters typically depends on the size of the project. For smaller jobs with just one or two windows, it can usually be completed in just a couple of hours.
For larger projects, such as multiple windows or entire homes, installation may take a full day. Our experts will ensure everything is fitted perfectly, no matter the size of the job!
*Please note lead times are our best estimate, but not guaranteed. We’ll endeavour to keep you updated with your order progress. See our delivery information for more details.
