Tilt Rod

Standard

The standard option is a tilt rod in the middle of each panel that you can shift up and down to tilt the slats into the position you want.

The standard is a more traditional option, seen on most modern shutter models, and is the popular option of the two.

Please be aware that you should never open the panel door using the tilt rod; this is for only opening and shutting the slats and is not designed to support the pressure from opening the doors.

Hidden

With a discrete tilt mechanism behind the shutter door, the slats are manually tilted by hand to the position you want. The hidden option is more contemporary.

This is usually a metal rod, around 38mm from the edge of the back of the panel, near the hinged side. This is then applied directly to the slats, providing a 'clearer' view through the slats. However, at some angles, you could still see the edge of this rod at the back.
