Colors And Louvers
2.5”
The 2.5” louvers provide a timeless, traditional appearance and feature our most slender profile. They complement windows of various sizes, though individual shutter panels are subject to size limitations. For older homes with smaller windows, the 2.5” louvers are an ideal choice.
3.5”
The 3.5” louvers, our most popular size, offer a modern aesthetic with wider spacing that enhances views from inside. Panels with 3.5” louvers can be made in larger dimensions. While suitable for any window size, they are particularly well-suited for homes with larger windows.
4.5”
Featuring the widest spacing, 4.5” louvers provide the most expansive views from within. Panels with 4.5” louvers can be made in larger sizes. Due to their width, these louvers extend further into the room to clear the window surface, making them ideal for homes with larger windows.
Available Louver Size: 2½,”3½”, 4 ½”
Available Shutter Colors: Bright White (110), Pure White (001), Silk White (003), Pearl (006),
Steamed Milk (009), Phantom (301), Moonlit (302), Lunar (303), and Armory (304)

HIDDEN TILT
The tilt mechanism is on the back of the shutter panel, eliminating the traditional tilt bar and creating an unobstructed view.
A thin, color coordinated steel bar is attached to the louvers in the rear of the panel.
No mouse hole in the panel
***Hidden tilt bar will be split by the factory if the panel is over 52″ tall. (Surcharge Applies)
Hidden Tilt Front
OFFSET TILT
The tilt bar is offset 1″ from the edge of the louver, allowing for a more open view when louvers are open.
The offset location default is towards the hinge side unless otherwise spedified.
Available for all louver sizes.
***Split tilt option is also available along with offset tilt. (Surcharge Applies)
Offset Tilt
SPLIT TILT
The Split Tilt Rod feature divides the control rod into upper and lower sections, without the need for a divider rail. This allows each section to be independently opened or closed. Shutters without a divider rail let in more light when the louvers are open.
Available for all louver sizes.
Can be ordered at custom location.
Upper and lower settings cannont be positioned atopposing angles because the edge of hte louvers will touch.
Available for hidden tilt.
