Looking for a stylish shutter look without the mess, fuss or drilling?
Perfect Fit Shutters are becoming an increasingly popular choice for homes across Essex and beyond. But what are they, how do they work and are they right for your windows?
Let’s break it down 👇
What Are Perfect Fit Shutters?
Perfect Fit Shutter Lite is a modern window solution that gives you the appearance of classic shutters with a clever, no-drill design. The frames click neatly into place between your window beading and rubber seal, with no need for screws, wall fixings or messy installation.
✔️ Smart, shutter-style slats
✔️ Sleek, minimal frames
✔️ No drilling or damage to your windows
They’re especially well-suited to uPVC windows and doors, where traditional shutter installations can be tricky or invasive.
Where Do They Work Best?
Perfect Fit Shutters are ideal for:
Bathrooms and wet rooms – they’re moisture-resistant, so they won’t warp or peel
Bedrooms – great for privacy and light control
Kitchens – easy to wipe clean and space-saving
Living rooms and hallways – where you want a smart finish with minimal fuss
- Any uPVC window where you want a clean, modern finish
Because they sit neatly within the window frame, they’re also brilliant for inward-opening windows and work well where space is limited.
What Can You Expect from Shutter Lite?
Tilting louvres (slats) to control light and privacy
A slimline, fixed frame
Simple installation and easy removal
A small range of neutral finishes to suit most homes
These are not a full shutter replacement – think of them as a “lite” version designed for style, ease and affordability. That’s why they’re one of our most popular alternatives to traditional shutters.
A Few Things to Consider
Perfect Fit Shutters won’t work with every window. Before booking a consultation, it’s important to make sure your windows are suitable:
✅ Only suitable for uPVC frames
❌ Not compatible with square beading
✅ Requires at least 23mm clearance between the edge of the glass and any handles or vents
❌ Only works with standard rectangular window openings
✅ Louvre-only movement – the frame stays fixed
❌ Doesn’t work with deep or uneven beading
✅ Designed as a budget-friendly solution with limited slat and colour options
We’ve put together a detailed checklist over on our Perfect Fit Shutter Lite website page to help you decide if they’re a good match for your windows.
