At Controlux, we supply and install a wide range of Shutters in Putney and surrounding areas of South London to suit all homeowners and their unique styles.
Putney has a very particular feel. Period houses close to the river, Victorian terraces along busy streets, and modern apartments tucked behind quieter developments all sit side by side. That mix means window solutions need to work hard, not just look nice. Putney homeowners choose Shutters that balance light, privacy, insulation and long-term value all rolled into one.
At Controlux Blinds, we specialise in designing and installing made-to-measure shutters across Putney. With over 35 years of experience fitting premium shading solutions throughout South West London, we understand that shutters aren’t a soft furnishing you swap out every few years. They’re a considered, semi-permanent feature that becomes part of the home.
Putney’s housing stock is varied. Period homes with tall sash windows sit alongside modern developments with wide glazing and open-plan layouts. Shutters work across both, but only when they’re designed correctly. Key reasons Putney homeowners choose shutters include:
Precise light control: Adjustable louvres let you manage daylight throughout the day without blocking views or relying on heavy fabrics.
Privacy without shutting the world out: You can angle louvres to prevent overlooking while still letting light in, especially useful on busy streets or ground floors.
Improved insulation: Solid panels and shutter frames add a barrier at the window, helping reduce draughts and heat loss in winter, and limiting solar gain in summer.
Low maintenance living: No fabrics to trap dust. A quick wipe keeps shutters looking sharp, which matters in family homes and allergy-sensitive spaces.
Added property value: Shutters are often seen as a fitted feature rather than a soft furnishing. Estate agents regularly point them out as a selling advantage.
Noise reduction: Thicker panels and frames help soften outside noise, something clients near main routes or the river often comment on after installation.
A study carried out by the English Heritage and Glasgow Caledonian University found that internal shutters can reduce heat loss through windows by up to 62%. This offers a significant increase in energy savings over time, especially for older Putney homes with single glazing. Even in modern properties, shutters help stabilise indoor temperatures. Rooms feel less affected by sudden weather changes, which reduces reliance on heating and cooling.
Additionally, UV-filtering louvres in shutters helps to protect timber floors, rugs, artwork and furniture from fading, a valuable consideration in south-facing rooms or heritage properties with delicate interiors.
Shutters need to suit the building they’re fitted to. Get the proportions wrong and they can feel heavy or out of place. At Controlux, we design Shutters that Putney homes actually suit:
That level of detail is what separates bespoke shutters from off-the-shelf options.
We offer a wide selection of bespoke shutters to suit every room and style:
Full Height Shutters: Classic and elegant, these cover the entire window and are ideal for bedrooms and living rooms. Add a mid-rail for flexible light control.
Tier-on-Tier Shutters: Two independently operated panels, top and bottom. Perfect for urban-facing windows needing privacy below and light above.
Café Style Shutters: Cover only the lower half of the window; a great option for ground-floor spaces in Putney.
Solid Panel Shutters: Traditional, full-coverage panels for maximum privacy and thermal insulation, ideal for period homes or bedrooms.
Tracked Shutters: Mounted on a sliding track system for bi-fold doors or wide window expanses. Popular in open-plan kitchen extensions.
Special Shape Shutters: Made to fit arches, circles, and gables, particularly useful for converted lofts and architectural features found in Putney’s heritage buildings.
Our shutters are available in:
Hardwood: Lightweight and luxurious, ideal for wide windows or detailed finishes.
MDF/Composite: Durable, cost-effective, and ideal for high-humidity areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
Waterproof ABS: Fully moisture-resistant for bathrooms, wet rooms, and pool houses.
Custom Finishes: Choose from a vast range of colours, stains, or colour-match to Farrow & Ball, Dulux, or Little Greene palettes.
Shutters are only as good as their design and installation. Poor measuring or rushed fitting shows immediately and never really disappears. Putney homeowners choose Controlux because:
Our goal is to deliver shutters that look like they were made for your home, because they were.

Excellent experience from start to finish with Controlux. Great customer service, efficient site visits (and they very nicely came back with no hassle after we had left some rooms off our original request). They offered an incredibly competitive quote - amazing value, and a totally hassle free installation. Controlux installed mulitple white roller black-out blinds in many of our art studios and classrooms at the college which has improved the spaces massively. We would not hesitate to have them back for further works. Excellent protocol to meet our health and safety regulations. 10/10 would recommend.Posted on Elaine ChesterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Family run business, and they’re good! A very reasonable quote for an unusual job - 4 motorised blinds each 3 metres long! (Hillary’s couldn’t do it).

Can’t rate them highly enough.Posted on Janet FisherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service .
