ABS co-polymer louvers are dimensionally stable, which resist cupping, warping and twisting. Woodcore Plus shutters combine wood composite frames with durable ABS louvers for more stability for larger size shutters. The standard Woodcore collection remains an excellent choice for standard size windows. | |

| Multiple stile options are available in various sizes to accommodate different window configurations. Astragal and Rabbet stiles provide a natural light block between panels. | |

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS -PLEASE READ PRIOR TO ORDERING
General Measuring:
Measuring and installing shutters is more involved than blinds or shades. It is important to have a solid understanding of the shutter options and designs to know what will work best for your application. Consumers who choose to order online are 100% responsible for how they order their online shutters. As with all custom products, this product is NOT returnable. If you are unsure about measuring or installing this product, we suggest seeking a local retailer to assist with your project.
Direct Mount (Inside Mount) is the simple to measure for. Measure exact inside width and height rounding down to nearest 1/16". If installing Inside Mount, be sure your window opening is SQUARE. ID the window is off by more than 1/8", it is not suggested to install as Inside Mount.
There are depth requirements for Inside mount shutter installation. A minimum of 2 full uninterrupted depth minimum is best. This means free of latches, handles, etc.
For Direct Inside Mount, (no frame) Here are the general louver requirements:
For a 2.5 inch louver You will need 2" depth
For 3" inch louver You will need 2 3/8" depth
For 4" louver You will need 2 7/8" depth
For Outside Mount, You will need to choose a frame. We suggest ordering frame to frame size with Deco frames and Outside Moutn with window opening sizes for Z frames. It is up tot the consumer to research and be well versed o n the frame options and sizes needed for frames. All of that information is shown in schematic picture of all the frames.
The above does not include all instructions for every type of installation. If you need additional information, we suggest looking at the shutter spec guide and installation instructions to understand which style of frame/install you need for your application. If you need more assistance, please email Customer Service with photos of your windows and the questions you have. info@blindsexpress.com
IMPORTANT: Split Tilt needs to be measured from the bottom of the shutter up to where you prefer the controls to be split. If this is not provided, we will assume you are choosing split tilt evenly/center.
Divider rail needs to also be measured from the bottom of the shutter up to where you prefer or we will assume to evenly distibute at the center. All split or divides do vary by the design of your chosen shutter. The splits/divides can be off slightly from your requested measurement.

Had a shutter get damaged by delivery company. Customer service did a great job of handling it.
Great! I love them!
The folks at Blindsexpress were so helpful when ordering my shutters. It was a tricky combination of shutters and they went above and beyond to make sure I got the right shutters!
We have ordered these shutters over the years and they are very nice quality and we have never had any problems with sizes, color, and construction. Highly recommended
While shopping for a composite shutter, I happened on www.blindsexpress.com and was pleasantly surprised with the price for these Norman Shutters. Locally dealers wanted at least $500 more for the exact same product. The shutter has been installed now for 6 months in our Texas heat, without any change. Very Very pleased with price and quality.Reluctant to buy on line, but not anymore!
