Tracked shutters

Tracked Shutters, sometimes known as runner shutters, offer a seamless solution for covering windows and patio doors. They are also a great way to temporarily divide living areas into smaller spaces when required. These run along a defined track which can be hidden our of sight, providing maximum strength and ease of use.

Classic tracked shutter designs were traditionally applied to larger windows, with the shutter track giving a smooth, fixed direction of travel and to prevent it from accidentally opening out into the room.

The shutters concertina back neatly, allowing you to fully enjoy the view from your window. They are a cost effective way of providing privacy and light control in large areas with expanses of glass, bringing an elegant style to open plan living. The tracked shutter panels can be easily removed if needed but will never fall off or need adjusting due to the fixed nature of the tracks. ‘Runner shutters’ take the name as the track is sometimes called a runner.

A wide range of tracked shutters

Tracked shutters can be constructed in a number of styles and materials, from solid panel shutters to various louvred designs. Runner shutters can also come in the form of a highly flexible tier on tier shutters system, complicated and irregular shaped shutters and the classic cafe style shutters.

Increased privacy, inside and out

Tracked shutters can bring increased levels of privacy, from both inside the property and from outside. The shutters, when extended closed to cover the windows, provide a full and customisable level of privacy. If fitted with a louvred designed shutter panel, these can be opened or closed as required to let light and visibility through.

When used within an internal space such as a living room, tracked shutters can be used to create temporary smaller spaces, dividing the room up into zones with defined levels of privacy.

Cost and design options available

Tracked shutters are versatile, cost effective, customisable and stylish. You can find tracked shutter systems in a range of different colours and stains to suit your décor and at varying prices to suit any budget. The style is usually vertical or horizontal slats or alternatively with solid panel shutter doors.

When used as a bathroom or kitchen tracked shutters are available in waterproof options, allowing water vapour to escape. This is great for areas where heat can make the room humid and ensure that your fabric panels stay looking good all year round. The slats of tracked shutter systems concertina back neatly when open, enabling you to fully exploit their versatile flexibility.
