Options Available for Plantation Shutters - Composite
 |
Inside MountThe blind is mounted inside the window frame; offers a tailored look, emphasizing the actual size of the window. Any deductions will be made by the manufacturer. Window casing should at least meet the minimum depth required to accommodate the brackets, or the flush mount depth to have the headrail fully recessed in the casing. When selecting your size, enter the actual dimensions of your window casing. |
|
 |
Outside MountThe blind is mounted on the wall or molding outside the window frame to cover an area larger than the window itself. Outside mounted blinds are required if the window casing is not deep enough to accommodate the mounting brackets for an inside mount. When selecting your size, enter the desired size of the blind itself - at least 1 1/2" of overlap on each side is recommended. |
|
 |
Z-FrameThe Z-Frame has a lip that goes around the opening. Not only does it finish out the opening like a window frame, it hides any imperfections in your window. These work best with straight dry wall openings and at least 2 1/2" or more of depth in the opening. |
|
 |
L FrameThe L frame is a simple frame that is mounted to the side of your opening (inside the window) or it is required on the edge of the opening for outside mount (out side the window). These work best for window openings that have an existing trim and this is required for all over the opening mounts. Some caulking can be necessary. |
|
 |
Divider RailThe divider is used primarily for stability of the panel and is required for shutters over 60" tall. You have a choice where you want it. Most choose to put it directly in the center of the shutter. Simply select the centered option in your cart. You can also put them in any location. Use this if there is something you would like to hide behind the divider rail such as your window lock. To measure, simply run your measure up from the bottom to where you want the divider. We will try to make the divider half way higher and lower than that measurement but it could vary up to 1 inch in order to keep the louver count consistent on the top and bottom. |
|
 |
Louver SizeMost of our shutters come in the traditional 3 1/2" Louver or the smaller 2 1/2" Louver. The larger size works best on large windows and the small louver on medium to smaller sized windows. |
|
 |
Window SillWe ask if you have a window sill because it determines on how we make the bottom rail. Notice on the picture that the Z-frame would never go on the bottom because the window sill protrudes into the room. So, we simply make the bottom rail flat to sit right on the sill. It stabilizes the shutter and serves as a nice light stop. |
|
 |
Single PanelImagine a panel as being a door. You need to have a hinge in order for it to open and close. For a single panel, choose if you want the hinges on the left or on the right of your panel. |
|
 |
Double Panel (2 Panels)These are two doors butted together. One opens to the left and the other to the right. |
|
 |
4 Panel (Bi-Fold)These have 4 doors. Two of them hinge together and go to the left and the other two to the right. This is popular for large windows. |
|
 |
Hidden Tilt BarA new and common option is the hidden tilt bar. It makes the shutter look more contemporary and gives a better view. This option is available with a surcharge so call for pricing. |

Comments about Norman Composite Shutters Plantation Shutters / Composite:
These shutters make my rooms look much brighter and yet they enable me to let in or shut out just as much or as little light as I want. The only con is that the manufacturer did not hide the nail slots in the shutter doors so when the shutters are open wide you can see the nail holes and nails. Small detail that we will adjust ourselves. Else, perfect product!

Website and phone support were excellent. We installed large Roman Shades with the Continuous Cord Loop in front of two different double french doors. They work great. And, look beautiful.

Comments about Norman Composite Shutters Plantation Shutters / Composite:
My husband and I just moved in to a brand new home and were looking for wood plantation shutters, since we have had them in our previous homes. We started shopping online and discovered shadesshuttersblinds.com. We were not aware that the shutters were available in a composite construction. We ordered a sample and were throroughly impressed. So we ordered them and installed them ourselves. They look beautiful and everyone who visits our home comments on how wonderful they look. No one ever believes that they are not made of wood. I would definitely order from shadesshuttersblinds.com again!

Comments about Norman Composite Shutters Plantation Shutters / Composite:
These shutters were inexpensive but are by no means cheap! Beautiful construction and it looks like they were professionally installed! It took longer to get started than it actually took to assemble and install. Assembly is a breeze! Be very careful using a power drill to install the screws as it is very easy to split the wood even if it is drilled. Mine split once. I backed out the screw and drilled new holes with a slightly larger bit that still allowed great grip by the screw threads. 3/32" drill bit size may be a slightly too tight for these screws and this composite material.
