Diagram highlighting the tilt rod

Central Tilt Rod

The tilt rod is the vertical piece of wood which links the shutter slats together and allows all slats linked by that particular rod to open and close in unison. A front tilt rod is normally sited in the centre of the panel, but can be ordered offset to the side. There is no surcharge for the front tilt rod.

 


Clearview Tilt Rod

A Clearview tilt rod is a discreet aluminium rod hidden at the back of the shutter panel. To open and close the slats you simply adjust one slat manually and all slats will open and close in unison. There is no surcharge for the Clearview Tilt rod.

Hidden Tilt Rod

The hidden rod is the term given to the shutters which have the tilt rod completely hidden inside the stile of the shutter panel. To open and close the slats, you simply adjust any one of the slats and all slats attached to that rod will open in unison. Please note there is a 10% surcharge for the hidden tilt rod.

Get to know our shutters

  • 1 Rails

    Top and bottom rails enclose the slats to form the panel. (You can add a mid rail if you like.)
  • 2 Mouse Hole

    Front push rods sit in a recessed mouse hole in the rail when the slats are shut.
  • 3 Frame

    The frame houses the panel; it can fix directly onto a window or into the wall recess.
  • 4 Slats

    Slats tilt and rotate to control light levels, views and privacy. Slats close fully upwards.
  • 5 Vertical rails

    Vertical rails either side of the panel are called stiles.
  • 6 Front push rod

    The front push rod is a thin vertical wood bar that’s connected to the slats, controlling their position when moved up or down.
