Plantation Shutters Installed at Byfords in Holt

Our team recently completed a plantation shutter installation at Byfords in Holt, replacing existing roller blinds in two of the hotel rooms with made-to-measure shutters.

Two different shutter ranges were used across the project: Endura shutters for the bedroom areas and Mimeo shutters for the bathroom, allowing us to choose the most suitable construction for each part of the property.

The result is a clean, traditional finish that works particularly well with the character of the rooms while giving guests much greater control over privacy and natural light. Plantation shutters are already a popular choice for hotels and other properties where privacy and durability are important.

Endura Shutters for the Hotel Bedrooms

In the bedroom areas, we installed our Endura plantation shutters.

These shutters have a Paulownia wood core which is completely encased in a thick, impact-resistant ABS polymer coating. This gives them the appearance and feel you would expect from a plantation shutter, with the added durability needed in a busy environment such as a hotel.

The adjustable louvres allow guests to easily change the amount of daylight entering the room without having to sacrifice privacy. They can be tilted to let plenty of natural light through during the day or closed when more privacy is required.

As you can see from the finished installation, the shutters also provide a much more integrated appearance than the roller blinds they replaced. Each section has been made to fit the individual window openings, giving the rooms a neat, built-in finish.

Waterproof Mimeo Shutters for the Bathroom

A different solution was needed for the bathroom.

Here, we fitted Mimeo shutters, which are manufactured from a 100% waterproof material. That makes them particularly well suited to bathrooms and other areas where shutters are likely to be exposed to moisture, steam and condensation.

The shutters provide the same control over light and privacy as those fitted in the bedrooms, but without the concerns associated with using a timber-based product in a regularly humid environment.

For a hotel bathroom, where the window treatment needs to look good while also coping with everyday use, Mimeo was the practical choice.

Choosing the Right Shutter for Each Room

This installation is a good example of why we offer different types of plantation shutter rather than trying to use the same product for every window.

For the bedrooms, durability and appearance were the priorities, making Endura an excellent fit. In the bathroom, resistance to moisture was more important, so we recommended Mimeo.

Both options give Byfords the consistent plantation shutter style they wanted while ensuring that the materials are appropriate for where they have been installed.
