Owens88 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 HiWe have sliding louvred shutters on two large patio windows. A third one doesn't have any shutters.I am trying to get something similar to the other two.First question. What is the term for sliding shutters of that type ? I searched for Volets Gllissantes but got nowhere. (Incidentally the recently posted 'glossary of useful terms' includes a word for shutters that doesn't seem correct to me.)Second Question. Our place is in the P-O near Prades. Any nominations about suppliers ?Third question. Any noiminations for an artisan who can do it a lot better than me ?Thanks in advance.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysfloss Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 try volets battants ou persiennes pliantes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owens88 Posted September 22, 2005 Author Share Posted September 22, 2005 Many thanks. Perisennes is definitely on the right lines, but persiennes pliantes seems to give me folding shutters not sliding ones.I am worried that I may be looking for something too awkward. My existing two patio/door windows each have a shutter which is the same size as the frame. To open they slide along the wall (hanging from above) and park along the unused wall. Probably 30 years old but effective and they fit the character of our building.Am I into specialist wood/antiquey type shops ?If so can anybody nominate something in/near Pyrenees Orientales ?RegardsJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Perhaps volet or persienne "sur rail" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
