Louver
Size and Projections
Richwood®
Shutters are available with 2 1/2", 3 1/2" and 4 1/2" louver
sizes. These elliptical louvers are fully operable and pivot by raising and
lowering the attached tilt bar. The panels feature a "no mouse holes"
design that allows the louvers to close tightly in both directions. The tilt
bar is located on the front of the louver panel. Optional clearview tilt bar
mechanism is available upon request.
When in the open
position, the louvers project beyond the shutter panel opening). Depending
on the size of the louver, the projections are as follows. All measurements
reflected in the diagrams are in inches:

single or multiple louvers without dismantling the entire shutter panel.
