Hidden Tilt ~ The Best Way to Maximize Your View
Hidden tilt, one of the newer custom options available with Kirtz Shutters, has become increasing popular since its introduction.
How it works
On a traditional plantation shutter louvers are fastened to the tilt rod with staples and you use the tilt rod to contol the position of the louvers. With a hidden tilt rod, a narrow metal rod is attached to the backside of the panel at the end of the louver on the hinge side. We then finish the hidden rod a similar color to the panels.
Although we can build shutter panels to our standard height of 120″ with hidden tilt, the rod must be broken at a certain point so that the weight of the louvers does not prohibit the mechanism from working appropriately.
