Tier-on-Tier Shutters
Tier-on-tier shutters feature independently operating top and bottom sections, providing maximum flexibility in light and privacy control. Unlike standard shutters where all louvers move together, tier-on-tier allows you to open the top section while keeping the bottom closed, or adjust each section to different louver angles.
This versatility makes tier-on-tier ideal for bedrooms, street-facing windows, and any application where conditions change throughout the day. Close bottom louvers for privacy while opening the top for light—endless combinations to suit any moment.

Placement & Usage Tips
Consider what activities happen near the window when deciding tier division—the break point should make practical sense for daily use. For bedrooms, lower tier closed with upper open provides privacy with morning light.
💡 Pro Tip
The additional hardware and installation complexity makes tier-on-tier more expensive than standard shutters, but the daily flexibility often justifies the investment in rooms where light conditions vary significantly.
