What To Know About Shutter Tilt Rods

The tilt rod links a shutter’s louvers and moves them in unison. Conventional tilt rods are visible on the face of your shutter panels. If you don’t like this look, you can get hidden tilt rods integrated into the back edge of your shutters.

If you would like to open the upper louvers for daylight and keep the lower louvers shut for privacy, ask for split tilt rods or a divider rail. Both options let you adjust the top section of your louvers apart from the bottom section.

How To Choose A Plantation Shutter Frame

Depending on the kind of interior shutter you select, you’ll have a variety of possibilities for frame styles. Collaborating with your shutter design expert, determine what kind of frame will fit your window. They can let you know if your window requires an inside- or outside-mounted frame (or if either is suitable), and what types you can pick from.

Once you know your choices, have fun choosing one that is best for your home’s style. Consider choosing a

Frame with a sill design if your window has a sill protruding from it.
Frame that goes with your crown molding.
Craftsman frame if you have a Craftsman home.
Decorative frame.

Choosing An Interior Shutter Louver Size

Choosing a louver size mainly boils down to personal taste. Do you like the look of very wide louvers, narrow louvers, or something in the middle? You should see how the louvers appear when tilted out and shut. Sunburst Shutters provides louvers in three options: 2.5”, 3.5”, and 4.5”. The thinner the louvers, the more you'll have in the shutter panels. The many horizontal lines can impede your vision when the shutter panel is shut and the louvers are tilted open. You may consider the 4.5” options in that case. However, the 3.5” width is the most preferred size by far.
