Lovely shutters, incredibly well made for the price. I found them very easy to fit by myself. I feel the rail bar would benefit from an additional cap to conceal cut lines on the top, however again for the price no complaints. They have transformed the room.
Just got our second set of shutters after purchasing the first set 5 years ago and very happy with them. The quality was excellent on the first set and the second set were even better the fitting was really easy and the instructions were easy to follow. Also the process of communication regarding delivery and general query’s was exceptional.
Ignore the reviews that complain about long delivery time if you're ordering the faux wood or upvc shutters. I bought the faux wood ones and they were delivered within two weeks. The faux wood ones are brilliant and look very classy. They were easy to fit; anybody with basic DIY skills and a modicum of common sense could fit them. I was a bit concerned when they arrived without instructions, but once I looked at them, it was obvious what went where. The only blip was that one shutter had a hinge missing and others had no hinge pin, but, once contacted, California Shutters were quick to correct and very apologetic; great customer service. I bought the cafe style ones which only had three sides to the frame, so they needed some careful handling. Probably not to be recommended, but I fitted mine using CT1 builders adhesive (not the screws provided), which meant I could manoeuvre them around to get them in exactly the right position before holding them in place with masking tape until the adhesive set; it made them an absolute doddle to fit, but, I did ensure that the glass for the window could be refitted from the outside if I needed to replace any glass. I had to fit mine in a bay window to aluminium frames, and there was very little leeway to be sure of using the screws correctly, so I thought the use of CT1 was a good compromise (they are stuck fast). My wife was over the moon with them when she returned home (I didn't tell her that I'd ordered them, it was a surprise). California Shutters' online videos were very helpful too, for the initial measuring up before ordering (they fit perfectly) as well as the actual fitting. All in all, a great buy. Cost a bit, but you get what you pay for!
The quick fix isn't. Shutters arrived with a pack of spacers and misc. screws (many long ones) and no instructions. The online videos are useless. So I assembled the frame and couldn't see how to engage the quick fix screws, so I chat the helpline. Apparently I am supposed to remove the cover strips before assembly. 'No drilling is required'. But the cover strips can't be fitted after as there is a corner mitre and a centre post. So I drill through the cover strips from the back to be able to access the fixing screws, fit them and assemble the frame again. 1 minute later it is installed.
