Louver Blades for plantation shutter panels.

Review movable louver slats, profile codes, dimensions, material labels, and RFQ details for Basswood shutter programs.

What are louver blades?

Louver blades are the movable slats in a plantation shutter panel. They rotate between the left and right stiles so the finished panel can control light, view, and privacy.

Blade size, blade thickness, material label, finish, and the matching stile or tilt system should be reviewed together because louvers work as part of a full shutter panel, not as generic moulding.

How louver blades fit into a shutter program

Louvers sit between the left and right shutter stiles and move together through a tilt rod, hidden tilt system, or related control hardware.

Common catalog references include 2-1/2 inch, 3-1/2 inch, and 4-1/2 inch blade sizes. The best RFQ starts with the blade code, dimensions, material, finish, quantity, packing, destination, and whether the blade must match a full panel package.

FAQ

Louver Blades buyer questions.

What information helps identify a louver blade?

The most useful details are catalog code, blade size, section drawing or sample photo, material, finish, quantity, packing notes, and matched panel requirements.

Are louver blades the same as generic moulding?

No. Louver blades are shutter components and should stay in the shutter component family for RFQ review and public site content.

Can louver blades be quoted separately?

Yes. A blade profile can be reviewed alone when code, dimensions, material, quantity, packing, and destination are clear. A full shutter package is better when the blade must match rails, stiles, frames, or tilt parts.
