Normandy Basswood Shutters - Stainsby Norman Shutters®
 Available Stain Finishes
Astragal Molding --> Standard
Astragal molding is a strip of molding used to cover the the gap between a pair of panels where the two panels meet in the center i.e. when the shutter is closed. It also helps hide the fact that your window opening may not be perfectly square.  Enlarge the two pictures below - the picture on the left doesn't have astragal molding - see the light gap in the center where the two panels meet? The picture on the right has astragal molding - no light gap. 
With Astragal Molding 
Without Astragal Molding  Normandy™ Basswood Shutters are built using select basswood and hardwoods - the tight grain results in long-term stability and durability. Normandy™ basswood shutters are then hand sanded and finished five times to create a luxurious furniture quality finish. Reinforced engineered stile Normandy Basswood Shutters use a reinforced engineered stile -- Multiple layers of wood bonded together to reinforce durability to the core of the stile, which results in a robust support system for your shutter panel.

Louver Sizes
 Louver size can dramatically change the style from traditional to contemporary as larger louver sizes are used. Our attractive elliptical shaped louvers have rounded edges (not square) for perfect closure. It's common practice to use smaller louvers for smaller windows and larger louvers for large windows. The larger the louver the better the view out when the louvers are tilted to maximum "view through" position. We suggest keeping louver sizes consistent throughout your home or office.
Cafe Style Shutters
For inside mounted shutters make sure you have enough sill depth for the louvers to operate properly. See "Specs" tab for more information.  Cafe shutters, sometimes called "half shutters" normally cover the bottom half of your window, but can be made at any height. Please specify the height of the cafe shutter, NOT the window height. Cafe Shutters are designed to cover the bottom half of the window for increased privacy while allowing light into the room.
Frame Styles
 2" Classic Deco Frame  2" Camber Deco Frame Deco Frames - Outside Mount
Deco Frames are a nice addition to give a shutter a consistent look, especially when there is not an existing windowsill or trim. Deco frames come with pre-drilled holes and can be installed with screws that will be hidden under the inserts. Important Measuring Tip Add 2-5/8" to each side of the window opening to ensure that the frame is made wide enough so that no part of the frame extends into the window opening. If mounting over existing molding measure edge of molding to edge of molding.  2" Bel Air  1-1/4" Beaded Z-Frames
Are both an inside and outside mounted frame because part of the frame installs within the window opening with a decorative edge that rests on the outside wall or trim. Z-frames are used in mounting the shutter system inside a sheetrock or out of square window openings. The lip of the frame hides any irregularities in the shape of the opening. Deco frames come with pre-drilled holes and can be installed with screws that will be hidden under the inserts. Important Measuring Tip You need at least 1-1/2" of mounting depth just for the frame. You then must consider louver size and required depth for each.  Beaded L-Frame - Outside Mount  Hanging Strip - Inside mount
Divider Rail
Are used to eliminate the need for framing and is most often used on windows with a recess or window sill. Hanging Strips hide the attachment of the panels to the wall, giving you a clean, uniformed look to your shutters. Note: The one negative about hanging-strips is that they prevent the operation of tilt-in windows. While the hanging strips are easy to remove - you will have to do so when you tilt-in your windows for cleaning. An innovative frame design for easier installation. Hang strip comes with pre-drilled holes and can be installed with screws that will be hidden under the inserts.  Divider Rail Required on panels that are greater than 62" long. The default location is at the center of the panel. Single Panel Shutters
