Why Choose Norman® Shutters

Norman’s shutters are engineered for excellence. Their manufacturing heritage includes precision kiln-drying, prescription wood conditioning, reinforced stiles, and patented finishes to resist chipping, warping, or fading. Norman offers multiple shutter lines to suit different budgets and design needs, all backed by lifetime warranties and seamless customization. Because these shutters integrate tightly with home architecture, they add both beauty and lasting performance—attributes not found in mass-market alternatives.  

Shutter Operation

Tilt Rod (Center or Offset)  
The traditional visible rod—either centered or offset—tilts the louvers uniformly across panels.  

​

Invisible Tilt 
An embedded gear-and-pinion system hidden within the shutter structure that allows louver control without a visible rod—offering a sleek, clean look.  

​

PerfectTilt™  
Norman’s motorized shutter tilt system. Control louver position via remote, app, or automation for effortless operation and modern convenience.  
 

Norman™ Shutter Product Lines

Woodlore®  
Woodlore® is a robust eco-composite shutter that resists peeling, cracking, and yellowing. It’s highly stable and designed to last in a variety of environmental conditions. 

Woodlore Plus® 
A hybrid design using ABS louvers paired with composite frames. Woodlore Plus supports wide-panel spans (up to 36″) for fewer stiles and cleaner views, and includes moisture-resistant options. 

Normandy® 
Normandy® is full hardwood, offering luxury, real wood character, and natural grain. Its stiles and joinery are engineered to prevent expansion/contraction, making it ideal for refined interiors.  Visit the Normandy Solid Wood Shutter gallery for more design inspiration.

Brightwood™
Brightwood combines the best of Woodlore and Normandy. It uses an EcoSmart composite frame with hardwood panels, providing premium looks at a more affordable price point.  Visit the Brightwood™ Shutter Gallery for more design inspiration.
