Shutters are a classic and elegant window treatment option that can add style, privacy, and light control to any home or office. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the anatomy of a shutter, exploring the various parts that make up this popular window covering.
Anatomy of a Shutter
Shutters have several parts that work together to provide light control, privacy, and style to your windows. The different features include:
Blades: also known as louvres, are the horizontal slats that can be adjusted to control the light and airflow entering the room.
Control Rod: The control rod, sometimes called the tilt rod, is a vertical rod that connects the blades, allowing them to be adjusted up or down.
Stiles: The stiles are the vertical sides of the shutter panel that frame the blades and provide structural support.
Rails: The rails are the horizontal pieces that run across the top and bottom of the shutter panel and connect the stiles.
