Shutter Types
CENTER TILT ROD (CTR)
If you are looking for a more charming look, then the Traditional style tilt rod is the way to go. It can be elegantly placed in the centre, offset or even hidden, to the left or right of your shutters. The Tilt Rod is used to adjust the louvers. Traditional style tilt rods are of excellent quality as they are securely fastened using machined staples to provide a robust addition to you shutters with which to open and close the louvres.
HIDDEN TILT BAR (HTB)
Hidden tilt bar are usually positioned on the backside of the panel, nearest the hinges. I am often asked how shutters are operated with hidden tilt and the answer is the same above, by grabbing the louvers. Over the years I have had less call backs or problems with hidden tilt because I have found that the first thing a child will grab and/or a pet will bite, is the center tilt bar.
