As the nights draw in, we want to feel warm and cosy and shut ourselves away. Louvered shutters look super swish, and while not as insulating as a pair of interlined curtains, they do protect against the cold. Brian S Nolan (01-2800564; briansnolan.ie), at 102 Upper Georges Street, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin, is offering Bargain Hunter readers who present today's column a 30 per cent discount on shutters, including installation, for orders placed before October 5th.

The bay window pictured shows the shutters in bali wood, which costs €395 per sq m. The side sections pictured each measure about 90cm wide by 2m high; the middle section is 180cm wide by 2m high. A window of these dimensions would normally cost €2,844, including installation. Bargain Hunters can get it for the discounted price of €1,990.

The shutters come in several wood options. Choose from bass wood, larch wood and cedar wood. There is also an MDF version that costs from €365 per sq m. This offer is available in the greater Dublin area, Co Meath and Co Kildare.
