Dear Mr & Mrs Talavera, 
I have successfully measured up all of your shutters for Kenilworth
this morning. 
Your formal quote should follow on shortly, but in the meantime here is
the specification that I have chosen so far: 
Marchwood Shutters - that is to say MDF frames with hardwood doors, all
powder coated in Hall Grey (final colour TBC)The frames are to lip
around the edges so that the shutter is fitted almost flush with the
recess, and the doors can stack away either side. The frames will be 3
sided; called a 'goalpost' in that it will have a piece across the top
and down the sides. There will also be sill plates that run behind the
doors on the sill so that your doors will close tight to the magnets.
On most windows I have specified four doors - two to the left and two
to the right. These will bi-fold against each other and will stack back
flat against the wall when required.  I will highlight where I have not
specified four doors; the reasons why, and what has been chosen
instead.
As you have sash windows, I have added in a midrail - this is a sort of
blanking strip across the door that allows you to tilt open the top and
bottom louvers of your shutters independently to each other; allowing
greater versatility in use, and prevents any louvers needlessly opening
straight on to plastic frame. I have also specified the Hidden tilt
option, that means no vertical rods to operate your louvers, which
gives a cleaner look and instead allows you to simply tilt the linked
together louvers by hand to your desired position.
None of your recesses are splayed and they are all fairly uniform, so
this specification applies to the following windows: 
Dining Room - four doorsLounge -  four doors, although care may be
needed on the right side when openingLounge/Kitchen - two doors, as
this is a smaller window; however the Left side when opened will likely
hit the protruding wall and not stack flat against the wall - we can
specify four doors but I will have to speak to the manufacturers as
they will be incredibly narrow.
Snug - four doorsBack Bedroom (x2) - two doors on each shutter, so that
they match.Front Bedroom - two doors, to match the other bedroom, but
can be specified as four.
I took some measurements for the two bathrooms as well, I can see how
the rooms are going to start to come together. I would likely recommend
a faux wood (PVC) Venetian blind for the shower room if that is the
shower cubicle to the left of the window, and to match I'd probably put
the same in the Bathroom.These can be in a very similar colour to the
shutter colour that I have currently chosen, however it may not always
be possible to match up the shutter colour to the PVC venetian.
