The louvres are made with high grade recyclable ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) built with aircraft inspired construction for maximum strength and stiffness. In good company. ABS is a material often used in high-endurance applications such as appliances, car parts and helmets. These product features combined with an enhanced Engineered Wood Composite stile core make the Woodlore Plus shutter program stronger, tougher and more versatile than ever before.

• Woodlore Plus’s advanced design facilitates wider panels, over 20% wider than Woodlore. Available up to 920mm, which means it can span wider than many PVC products with much less weight.
• Environmentally Friendly and Safe – All the materials chosen for Norman shutters are done with the environment and your family’s safety in mind.

DOUBLE HUNG

BAY WINDOWS

Beautiful square and Victorian bay windows can be transformed by made to measure full height, double-hung or Café style Norman shutters.

FULL HEIGHT

For a more traditional finish to your windows, solid panels block out the light when closed and provide an additional barrier to the outside elements. Also, Norman offers options to mix solid segments with louvre segments throughout the height of the panels. A classic look for older-period homes.

TRACKED SHUTTERS

Adding top and bottom tracks allows you to create wide stunning window and door openings that offer ultimate functionality. Choosing from Norman’s many bi-fold or bypass tracked options you can operate multiple panels in one smooth motion. Options include 90° and 180° bi-fold and open and closed louvre bypass systems.

Deco Frames

The Deco series is for outside mount applications and creates the look of a custom framed window. Suitable for all interior wall surfaces deco frames decorate the window opening while covering up any geometrical imperfections.

L-Frame

• Vintage L Frame
• Beaded L Frame

Z-Frame

Z frames are for inside mount applications creating shutter installations that are aligned with the face of the reveal opening and don’t protrude into the room. There are a range of Z frame styles which can either create a big shutter presence or a minimalist compact appearance. Also, again if your windows have some geometrical imperfections (i.e. out of square) Z frames are a great installation method to hide the opening flaws.

Mission Sill Cap

The mission sill cap offers modern style and can “cap” most marble or stone sills effectively building out the sill for a more traditional look. The sill cap can also create a sill if the existing window opening is without a sill.

Mission Sill Frame

Compared to the mission sill cap, the mission sill frame offers a more petite sill with less projection into the room.

T-Posts

Standard and Custom Width T-Posts

If your window falls into one of the following categories, our standard and custom size T-Post widths are available:

• Need to support shutters across wide window expanses
• Divide large window openings into smaller openings

• To ensure consistent shutter panel widths
• Other specific design criteria

Other T-Post Options include:

• Horizontal T-post
• Bay window T-post
• Corner T-Post

Direct Mount Options

Hang Strip

The hang strip is a very compact installation method and if installed inside the window opening behind the shutter panel can give you the look of having no frame at all. This provides a minimal look with the shutter panels footprint completely inside the window opening. Note the opening has to be very square for such an installation. For those out of square windows the hang strip can also be face mounted outside the window reveal but note leave at least a 12mm gap between the edge of the window reveal and inside edge of the hang strip to provide a light block (top, bottom and sides) for the installation.

Can be installed on:

• Square edge plaster board or concrete reveals with trim
• Square edge plaster board or concrete reveals without trim
• Wood reveals with trim
• Wood reveals without trim

Direct Mount

Shutters can be ordered with no frame or hang strips at all. They can be mounted directly within the window opening. A great look with pre-existing window frame joinery. However, the window opening needs to be square and specialised hinges are available from Norman for such installations.

Can be installed on:

• Wood reveals with trim
• Wood reveals without trim
