Worth Knowing
Louver sizes, tilt options and lead time for shutters
A shutter is a frame set inside your window frame, so the measuring has to be careful. In a mid-century ranch near downtown, the opening can be out of square by a fraction of an inch, and your Design Specialist measures it at several points so the panels close clean. In the newer homes in Seven Bridges and Copper Ridge the frames are square and the openings bigger, so the conversation is about louver size and any arch or angle that needs a specialty shape.
Louvers come in five sizes, 1 7/8, 2 1/2, 3, 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 inch. Smaller louvers keep the proportions right on the modest windows of an older ranch, and the larger sizes open up the view on tall glass in a great room. Invisible Tilt hides the tilt rod, and split tilt lets the bottom louvers close for privacy while the top stays open for light. The materials are real wood, composite and poly, with real wood panels made as wide as 42 inches.
Shutters tilt instead of lifting, so for a walkout slider where you want the glass fully clear, a sliding panel or a shade can be the better fit. Shutters take 8 to 10 weeks from order to install, against 4 to 6 for interior shades, and we tell you that at the first visit. The consultation is free, your quote is itemized and holds for 180 days, and our own full time Install Techs fit every panel.

Tilt Options
Four ways to tilt Plantation Shutters in Platte City
Shutters tilt rather than lift. Your Design Specialist brings a sample of each tilt style so you can work it at your own window.
Standard tilt
A center rod down the panel. The traditional look.
Offset tilt
Rod moved to the side so it does not divide the view.
Invisible tilt
Linkage hidden inside the stile. The cleanest option.
Split tilt
Top and bottom halves operate independently.
