Sales Consultant Comment:
The client’s brief was to provide privacy in their bathrooms, while still allowing in filtered light and ventilation. The challenge was a free-standing bath directly in front of the shutters which would impede a folding operation. The solution was to install a sliding by-pass shutter in the guest bathroom which is easy to operate and gives access to the windows behind. In the main bathroom, we opted for a different configuration where we installed a tier-on-tier shutter where the top half opens independently of the bottom half, thereby allowing unrestricted views but still being able to close and tilt the louvres for additional privacy.
The House Kleyn homeowner shared, “With the space and the light, entertaining is very easy here.”
