Interior Shutters for the home most commonly have a hinge on each side of the window, which enables the shutter to open inwards to allows a good amount of light to brightly fill the room. Louvered Shutters have slats that rotate to open and close and give the option to control the amount of sun light, view and airflow coming into the room. There are various terms to describe shutters of this style, such as California Shutters or Plantation Shutters which usually refers to the size of the louver blade. Some Interior Shutters use a stationary louver which don’t rotate and these are called ‘Fixed Louver”, the solid panels can be raised, recessed or flat with fabric inserts or tinted glass.
Plantation Shutters can be configured to s single tier unit that has one shutter top to base of the window opening or a multiple tiers for controled effect. The multiple teir units feature separate shutters on each tier which enables the shutters to be opened on their own, independently from the bottom shutters. Cafe style shutters refers to window shutters that only cover the lower area of the window Plantation Shutters can be built with a horizontal divider rail which separates the upper and lower parts of the shutter. When using operable Louvered Shutters this give you better control as the louvers above the divider rail can be operated on their own, separate from the lower shutters. A tilt rod is used to adjust the shutter position and keep them in a uniformed position.
