Tiered Shutters Create Dimension and Interest

For windows with a taller vertical expanse, tiered shutters add appealing architectural detail. Featuring multiple stacked sections, tiered shutters break up a window into smaller proportional components for increased visual interest.

Tiered shutters divide an elongated window into horizontal bands. This gives the illusion of shorter shutters scaled to fit the window, when in fact they combine into one tall unit. The layered look provides depth, texture, and dimensionality.

Benefits of Tiered Multi-Section Shutters

What unique advantages do stacked, multi-section shutters offer?

Proportional Balance

Tiering tailors shutters to fit the window:

• Horizontal bands suit tall narrow shapes
• Avoids dwarfed look of plain short shutters
• Multi-sections appear scaled as intended

Architectural Detail

Stacking adds structural detail:

• Interesting interplay of receding planes
• Angled shadows create texture
• Contrasting frame and panel shapes

Visual Weight

The density anchors large windows:

• Multi-sections feel properly substantial
• Gives height and verticality gravity
• Heavy, grounded appearance

Added Privacy

Extra tiers obstruct more sight lines:

• Harder to see through layered sections
• Eliminates window gaps visible from outside
• Complete coverage for discretion

Let your windows make a grand architectural statement with the custom, ornamental detail of tiered shutters scaled to fit.
