Divider Rail-A rail that divides the shutter panel into two horizontal sections. It is used to add strength to a tall panel or add a decorative touch.
Hang Strip-The mounting frame that is used for inside mounted shutter panels.
Inside Mount-A shutter that is mounted on the inside of
the opening.
Light Block-Square rail that blocks light between the window sill and the shutter panel, used with inside mount, 2-sided frames, and 3-sided frames.
Louvers-The movable fins inside the shutter panel.
Outside Mount-A shutter that is mounted on the outside of
an opening
Panel-The part of a shutter that is made up by a set of louvers, two rails and two stiles.
Rabbet Stile-A special cut on the stiles that allow the panels to overlap. Helps control light penetration between the panels.
Rail/Louver Clearance-The space between a top or bottom rail and the edge of the end louver when it is closed.
Rails-The top and bottom solid portion of the panel that frames the louvers.
