🪟 UK-Made Shutters – The Wisley Range
Our Wisley Shutters are proudly manufactured in the UK and stand as one of the very few truly British-made shutter ranges available today. Designed for performance and built with care, they offer a faster, more sustainable alternative to imported options—without compromising on style.
⏱️ Faster Lead Times
With a lead time of just 5 weeks, Wisley Shutters dramatically reduce the typical wait time often associated with international supply chains. That means your shutters arrive sooner—and with far fewer delivery uncertainties.
🌱 Sustainable Materials
Wisley panels are made using an eco-conscious blend of poplar wood dust, natural chalk, and low-emission adhesive. The result is a strong, lightweight material that mimics the feel of painted wood—without the environmental cost of new timber or heavy synthetic composites.
Not only are they crafted with sustainability in mind, they’re also finished in 9 beautifully curated colours, including whites, soft neutrals, calming greens, and elegant blues.
💧 Moisture Resistant and Versatile
Thanks to their construction, Wisley Shutters are naturally moisture resistant, making them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and other high-humidity spaces. They’re also well-suited to living rooms, bedrooms, and full-height or tier-on-tier configurations, offering year-round performance and comfort throughout the home.
Whether you’re aiming for a timeless look or a smart, modern finish, Wisley’s concealed tilt mechanism and traditional mortise and tenon joints ensure both beauty and durability in every panel.

Which of your blinds are made in the UK?
We offer a wide selection of UK-manufactured blinds, including most Roller Blinds, Vertical Blinds, Aluminium Venetians, and selected Pleated Blinds & Roman Blind ranges. We’re happy to guide you through which styles are made locally during your consultation.
Are all your shutters made in the UK?
Not all, but our Wisley Shutters range is manufactured entirely in the UK. It offers fast lead times, eco-friendly materials, and a painted wood feel without the heavy footprint.
Do you offer any eco-conscious shutter options?
Yes. Wisley Shutters are made using a sustainable mix of wood dust, chalk, and low-emission adhesive—providing strength and a smooth finish with minimal environmental impact.
How do I ensure I’m only shown UK-made products?
Let us know at the very start of your consultation that UK manufacture is important to you. We’ll tailor our recommendations to ensure you’re only offered ranges that are genuinely made in Britain.
Are components and fittings also made in the UK?
While many products are assembled here, some components—such as cords, fixings, or fabric backings—may still be sourced globally. We are always transparent about what is and isn’t made locally.Is there a price difference between UK-made and imported blinds?
In some cases, UK-made shutters typically cost more due to higher manufacturing and labour costs, even though they save on shipping. In contrast, imported ranges may be more affordable but often have longer lead times. We’ll talk you through both options to help you choose what best suits your budget and priorities.
⚠️ A Note on Materials and Global Components
While we are proud to offer a wide range of blinds and shutters that are manufactured in the UK, it’s important to note that some products and materials are still sourced globally—as is the case across most of the industry.
- Wood and Faux Wood Venetian blinds are typically pre-manufactured overseas, with final adjustments and finishing done locally.
- Some Roman blinds in our broader collection are produced outside the UK, including in the Middle East.
- Certain pleated blind ranges are made in European factories, particularly in the Baltics.
Additionally, even where blinds are assembled in the UK, many components—such as brackets, cords, or specialist coatings—may be sourced internationally, including from China. This is standard practice across the sector and allows us to maintain the quality and variety our customers expect.
Wherever possible, we prioritise British-made ranges, and we continue to work with our suppliers to expand our selection of UK-manufactured options.
