Understanding Your Choices For Shutter Tilt Rods

The tilt rod controls a shutter’s louvers and repositions them all together. Customary tilt rods are seen on the front of your shutter panels. If you don’t like this look, you can have hidden tilt rods built into the back edge of your shutters.

If you would like to open the upper louvers for light and keep the bottom louvers closed for privacy, ask for split tilt rods or a divider rail. Each choice permits you to manipulate the upper section of your louvers independently from the bottom half.

How To Pick A Plantation Shutter Frame

According to what style of interior shutter you pick, you’ll have various choices for frame styles. Collaborating with your shutter design expert, find out what type of frame will fit your window. They can tell you if your window needs an outside- or inside-mounted frame (or if either is appropriate), and what kinds are available.

Once you know your possibilities, enjoy picking one that complements your home’s style. Think about selecting a

Frame with a sill design if your window has a sill projecting out from it.
Frame that complements your crown molding.
Craftsman frame if you live in a Craftsman home.
Decorative frame.

Choosing An Interior Shutter Louver Size

Picking a louver size primarily boils down to personal taste. Do you like the appearance of very narrow louvers, wide louvers, or something in between? You'll want to consider how the louvers look when turned outward and shut. Sunburst Shutters has louvers in three widths: 2.5”, 3.5”, and 4.5”. The thinner the louvers, the more you'll have in each panel. The abundance of horizontal slats can impede your sightline when the shutter panel is closed and the louvers are tilted open. You may consider the 4.5” ones if that’s a concern. However, the 3.5” louvers are the most preferred size by far.
