Sometimes there are reasons to choose fixed louvered shutters over operable louvered and panel shutters.
They tend to be more economical than most other styles of window shutters. Fixed louvers are permanently open which means that there is always ventilation while blocking line of sight and, when used outside your home, normal rainfall. This is ideal for applications like enclosing an utility room, a porch or outdoor shower.
Fixed louvered shutters can be made to look like operable louvered shutters by simply adding a faux tilt bar. If you need to be able to open a small section of the louvers consider a combination shutter that has both fixed and operable louvers.
