There isn't a great tradition
of using window shutters in the UK, as opposed to the continent,
but if you have a Georgian house, you may be lucky enough to
still have the original internal timber shutters.
Shutters can of course be positioned
both internally or externally. They provide security and/or shading.
If ventilation is important, consider timber louvred (or plantation
shutters). Metal roller shutters are generally used for security,
but tend to look a bit industrial. Sliding concertina security
grilles on the inside are a bit more discrete.
Remember that if you have a
listed building you may need Listed
Building Consent to add shutters.
