Tier on Tier Shutters for Austin Homeowner

Free delivery & installation with every purchase in Central Texas

Split Rail (or Double Hung) Shutters Are a Popular Choice

Split rail shutters, also known as double-hung shutters, are a versatile window treatment option that offers both style and functionality. These shutters consist of two separate panels stacked vertically, allowing you to open and close the top and bottom sections independently. This unique design provides exceptional control over light, privacy, and ventilation in your living spaces.

At Southern Shutters, many of our customers choose split rail shutters due to the specific light and privacy control options. For example, you can fold out (or open) the upper panels for increased natural light and view while leaving the lower panels closed for privacy.

This classic design is especially popular in Texas due to the intense heat and sunlight we experience. Having the split rails allows the maximum amount of control over how much heat, light and privacy you have with your windows.

Benefits of Split Rail Shutters

Enhanced Privacy and Light Control

The split rail feature allows you to control the upper and lower louvers independently, providing greater flexibility in managing privacy and light levels. You can close the bottom louvers for privacy while keeping the top louvers open to let in natural light. This feature is especially useful in rooms requiring more privacy like bathrooms and bedrooms.

Improved Energy Efficiency

Plantation shutters, in general, are known for their energy-saving properties. Split rail shutters can further enhance this by providing precise control over sunlight and heat transfer. By adjusting the louvers, you can regulate the amount of sunlight entering your home, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling. Our shutters are only made of real American hardwood, which is naturally insulating.

Increased Home Value

Plantation shutters, including split rail, are considered a valuable addition to any home. They can enhance the overall aesthetic appeal and increase property value.

Customization Options

Split rail plantation shutters come in various styles, materials, and colors, allowing you to customize them to match your home's decor and personal preferences.
