How long does it take to install shutters?
Most projects begin with an in-home measure and design confirmation. After your order is finalized, production timelines vary by product and options, and installation is typically completed in one day once your shutters arrive. Installation can be as little as 2 weeks to up to 10 weeks for specialty shapes where a template is required.
Do you handle specialty shapes like arches and angles?
Yes. We routinely design and install shutters for arched windows, angled tops, transoms, and other specialty shapes using custom templates to ensure a precise fit.
Can I install Norman plantation shutters myself?
No. Norman shutters are best installed professionals to ensure proper alignment, smooth operation, and a secure fit. We recommend professional installation to protect your investment and warranty.
Do shutters help with insulation and energy efficiency?
Yes. Interior shutters add an insulating layer at the window, helping to reduce heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter—especially when fully closed.
Which shutter line is right for my home?
The best line depends on your window type, budget, design preference, and performance goals. We help you compare materials, louver sizes, and configurations to select the right option.
What louver sizes are available?
Norman shutters are available in multiple louver sizes, typically ranging from 1 7/8" to 4½", allowing you to balance view, light control, and aesthetics.
Are shutters noisy when opening and closing?
Quality Norman shutters operate quietly. Proper installation and well-engineered hardware ensure smooth, low-noise operation.
Do shutters increase home value?
Yes. Shutters are considered a premium, permanent window treatment that can enhance both the aesthetic appeal and perceived value of your home.
How do I care for and clean my shutters?
Dust regularly with a soft cloth or brush. For deeper cleaning, use a lightly damp cloth with mild soap, then dry immediately to avoid streaking or moisture damage.
Do you offer motorized shutters?
Yes. We offer motorized shutter options that integrate with remote, app, or smart-home control systems for added convenience.
