Tier-on-Tier Shutters
Tier-on-Tier Shutters by Abacus
What are Tier-on-Tier Shutters?
Plantation shutters featuring two separate, independently operational panels (top and bottom). They provide ultimate flexibility, allowing you to control light, air, and privacy levels with precision.
Tier-on-Tier Shutters offer the perfect balance of light, air, and privacy control. This design features two distinct panels—a top tier and a bottom tier—that open and close independently. You can open the top section to flood your room with natural light while keeping the bottom closed for essential privacy. Ideal for ground floor properties, sash windows, or any room experiencing varying sunlight throughout the day. They provide the ultimate versatile solution, offering the benefits of both full height and café style shutters in one elegant system.
Common Questions
Q: How do Tier-on-Tier Shutters offer more flexibility than full height shutters? A: Tier-on-Tier Shutters feature two separate panels—top and bottom—that open and close completely independently. This means you can easily open the top for natural light while keeping the bottom section closed for privacy, which is impossible with a single full height panel.
Q: Are these shutters suitable for ground floor windows near the street?
A: Yes, they are an ideal solution for ground floor properties. You can maintain complete privacy at eye level by keeping the bottom tier closed, yet still welcome natural light through the open or louvered top tier.
Q: Can the louvres be controlled independently on each tier?
A: Absolutely. Each tier is a self-contained unit with its own tilt rod or hidden mechanism. This allows you to angle the top and bottom louvres separately, giving you highly precise control over light direction and privacy levels.
Q: What types of windows work best with Tier-on-Tier Shutters?
A: They are particularly well-suited for taller windows, including traditional sash windows and large bay windows, as the independent tiers naturally complement the window’s vertical proportions and size.
Q: When Tier-on-Tier Shutters are fully closed, do they look different from full height shutters?
A: When both the top and bottom panels are closed, Tier-on-Tier Shutters maintain the same elegant, cohesive appearance as full height shutters. The visible division line between the tiers is placed to complement your window’s existing design or architectural features.
