Blinds and Canopies in Sutton Coldfield

Made For Shade is the longest established Plantation shutter supplier in the Midlands, opening for business in 1999 & proudly fitting our first set of wooden Plantation shutters in Wylde Green Road, Sutton Coldfield where they can still be seen today. Since then, Mike, Jane & the team have a gained a wealth of invaluable experience designing & installing shutters to both homes & businesses, working with home-owners, interior designers, architects & specifiers. We also specialise in the more challenging installations such as bay windows & shaped windows where attention to detail is paramount. We offer shutters to suit all budgets, ranging from affordable MDF through to beautiful Basswood & Cedar timbers in an extensive range of painted & stained finishes. Whether your preference is a contemporary white paint or a traditional stained finish, our shutters offer a stylish, practical, long-lasting solution for any window.

All Made For Shade shutters are available in a choice of 6 quality materials to help create your perfect look.

All our woods are ethically sourced from Managed Forests where the growth-rate exceeds the cut-rate by a ratio of at least 2 to 1. Our range also includes White Teak, which is an F.S.C. certified timber.

No matter which material you choose, you can rest assured that your shutter will be of the highest build quality, made with care & finished to perfection. Both the panels & the frames are manufactured in the chosen material so the shutter is 100% what it says it is, (some companies fit MDF frames to their wooden shutters but don't tell you).

Louvre size choices include 32mm, 47mm, 63mm, 89mm & 114mm widths.

As standard, our shutters incorporate easy-release hinges, enabling simple removal of panels when it's time to decorate. Hinges can be colour co-ordinated to the shutters or how about using brass or stainless steel hinges instead, for that individual, finishing touch? Panels are held in position by magnets & rebate fitted to one another to create the perfect fit.

Easy-lock mechanism allowing precision control to the mm

35mm, 50mm & 64mm slat widths

60 paint & stained finishes

Custom colouring option

10 head-rail finishes including 3 exclusive brushed aluminium designs designed to be fitted without a wooden valance to give the blind a contemporary twist

6 valance options in matching wood finish

Routeless privacy option (no punch holes) – great closure makes it ideal for bedrooms & bathrooms

26 plain & patterned decorative tape finishes

Trapezoid bottom rail with flush bottom rail caps to eliminate damage to window sills & prevent the blind from rocking

Child safety cord consolidator option

Our blinds are 100% made-to-measure, which means that unlike cut-down blinds, they are:

Designed to fit rather than cut to fit

Manufactured from quarter sawn wood for character & tight grain, eliminating warping

Custom kiln-dried, subjected to Prescription Conditioning TM & multiple processes of sanding, blinds are then finished to the highest standards using a premium oyster finish with 10 coats & a UV protective layer to help resist fading.

Finished to perfection, with no unsightly chipping from rough saw blades

Consistent, with all control cords located the same distance from the end of the slat. With cut-down blinds, the location of the control cords will vary greatly as the blind width is trimmed to size from either end.
