Do shutters provide blackout?
Standard shutters do not give complete blackout in a room as you have moving parts so you will always get light seepage, there is a very good quality blackout system that we can use in bedrooms and cinema rooms, if required.

Shutters can be installed onto any type of window if done properly, on standard windows most of the time you would not be fitting into the window but fitting into the plasterwork reveal.
