FAQs About Kitchen Shutters
Yes, kitchen shutters are a practical and stylish choice. Our faux wood shutters are 100% waterproof, easy to wipe clean, and significantly more durable than fabric shades or drapes in a high-moisture environment. They're particularly popular in kitchen-diners where the look of the window treatment matters as much as its performance.
For kitchen windows, we recommend faux wood shutters over real wood. Our waterproof ranges, American Vinyl, American Wood Core, and Luxe Polyvinyl, are all 100% waterproof, built to handle the humidity and splashes of a busy kitchen, and easy to wipe clean. They deliver a premium finish that holds up in conditions that would eventually affect a natural wood shutter.
Yes, this is actually one of the most popular placements for kitchen shutters. A window above the sink is exposed to splashes and steam, so faux wood shutters are ideal here. They handle the occasional splash without warping or deteriorating like real wood or fabric treatments would.
The cost of custom kitchen shutters depends on the product, window size and customization options you choose. For an accurate price, simply head to your preferred product page and use the configurator. Because we sell direct online, no showrooms, no installers, no middleman markup, you get a premium made-to-measure shutter at a price that's hard to find anywhere else.
Our most popular kitchen ranges ship fast. American Vinyl and American Wood Core are both ready in 1 to 2 weeks, American Wood in 2 to 3 weeks, and Luxe Polyvinyl in 10 to 12 weeks. See our full lead time guide for a complete breakdown by range.

Everything You Need to Know About Kitchen Shutters
Kitchens are hard-working spaces, and choosing the right window treatment is more important here than in almost any other room. Curtains and shades absorb cooking smells and moisture, and many blinds warp or obstruct the window when they're meant to be open. Plantation shutters solve all of these problems, they're waterproof, easy to clean, stylish, and give you full control over light and privacy without getting in the way. Available in a range of styles to suit any kitchen, they're the practical and elegant window treatment for one of the most used rooms in your home.
Why Choose Kitchen Shutters?
Waterproof and Moisture Resistant
Cooking creates condensation and steam, and your window treatment needs to be able to cope. Our waterproof vinyl kitchen shutters won't warp, spoil or become mildewed as a result of moisture build-up, making them a long-lasting solution for kitchen windows.
Easy to Clean
Shutters are far easier to maintain than fabric blinds or curtains. A quick wipe with a damp cloth removes marks and grease, and they can be dusted easily with a cloth or feather duster. They also don't retain dust, fat or cooking odors like fabric window treatments do.
Complete Light and Privacy Control
The beauty of kitchen shutters is how simple they are to control. Angle the slats to deflect direct sunlight while keeping the room light-filled on hot days or open the panels fully to let the sunshine in, or fold them neatly back against the wall for a full view of your garden or outdoor space.
Added Security
Because shutters are a solid, fixed window treatment rather than a fabric or flexible covering, they add an extra layer of security to your windows. When the panels are closed, they're not easily moved or manipulated from outside, making it harder for anyone to see into the room or assess what's inside. They also obscure the window itself, which acts as a deterrent. For ground-floor kitchen windows, this added layer of privacy and solidity can give real peace of mind, particularly in the evenings or when you're away from home.
What Kitchen Shutter Ranges Are Available?

Things to Consider When Choosing Kitchen Shutters
Which Style?
Kitchen shutters can be made in any of our shutter styles. Café style is a great choice if maximizing light is a priority, covering just the lower section of the window for privacy while leaving the upper half open. Full height shutters offer complete coverage with full light and privacy regulation, and tier on tier shutters allow independent control of the upper and lower panels. Door shutters can also be used to dress french doors and patio doors.
Which Color to Choose?
Our shutters come in a range of shades, making it easy to add an accent to a neutral kitchen or complement existing cabinetry and surfaces. Classic white is always a popular choice, clean, bright and timeless. Order up to four free shutter samples to find the right fit before you order.
