Normandy® Luxurious and resilient

Luxurious Natural Beauty

Sophisticated and unique, with real hardwood’s unmistakable natural beauty and luxury. The Paulownia hardwood in Normandy® stained shutters offers luxurious wood graining with elegant natural characteristics exhibiting both depth and character.

All Normandy® hardwoods are prescription wood conditioned for extraordinary durability and exhibit one of the best strength to weight ratios among all wood type shutters.

Windows come in all shapes and sizes. Normandy® offers a wide range of customization options to fit your personal style. Whether it is a triangle, round or sunburst, we haven’t met a window that we can’t cover. With a multitude of standard colors and a custom color option to match your wall color or furniture, your design possibilities are endless.

A well-crafted shutter closes solidly, does not have unsightly gaps, and stays that way year in and year out. To accomplish this, each part of the shutter must be stable and can resist twisting and bowing. With the unique engineered stiles, multiple layers of wood are bonded together with pressure, heat, and polymer. The proprietary process imparts an intense level of stability and structural integrity to the cores and results in a robust support system for your shutters.

Eco-Friendly Wood Finishes

Our Premium color collection uses a safe and eco-friendly finish made from natural plant oils and vegetable waxes, free from common paints and stains’ harmful substances. In a palette of on-trend colors, the plant-based stain finish amplifies wood’s natural grain for intensely character-rich louvers. It penetrates deeply, for durability and rich color that goes beyond the surface and protects against degradation over time. Beauty is more than skin deep.

The secret to a handsome and durable shutter finish really isn’t a secret at all. It takes multiple sequences of sanding with progressively finer sandpaper to open the pores of the wood for coating and smoothing the surfaces. Each layer is finely coated with high-quality stain or paint. This labor-intensive process is the only way to achieve the translucent, deep finish of a Normandy® Shutter.

Normandy® for Skylights

Designed specifically for skylight windows, Normandy® Skylight Shutters combine timeless style with a precise, tailored fit.

Built for a lifetime

Traditionally used in demanding furniture and building construction, the mortise & tenon joints featured in Normandy® are designed to withstand decades of shear and racking stress to ensure the prolonged quality of a shutter. The joint is crafted out of a mortise cut through the wood and a hearty tenon, which fits snugly into the mortise. The precision crafting creates a tight lock, without the need for extra screws or fasteners.

InvisibleTilt

InvisibleTilt®, the embedded gear and pinion system, enables seamless louver tilting without a tilt rod for a more streamlined and modern appearance. Traditional “hidden tilt” systems hide a bar in the back of the panel, fastened by screws that loosen over time. This results in the panels closing unevenly and allowing light to creep in, plus wear and tear from loose screws scraping against your frame.

This breakthrough technology has no extra screws or fasteners that can eventually rattle, rust, bend, break or scuff over time. Its precise control over the louvers allows for tighter and more consistent closure throughout, while ensuring wider and more unobstructed views.
