well-crafted shutter closes solidly, does not have light gaps, and stays that way year in and year out. To accomplish this, each part of the shutter must resist twisting, bowing, cupping, and all other forms of instability.

We are the only shutter manufacturer to compensate for this tendency to deform by using reinforced engineered wood. We employ a proce-dure that bonds multiple layers of wood together with pressure, heat, and a proprietary chemical formulation. This imparts an intense level of stability to the cores of our stiles and results in a robust support system for your shutter panels.

This is a more costly process, compared to using a single solid piece of wood, but we don’t believe that stability should be compromised at any cost.

To inhibit deformation, bonding multiple layers of wood together with pressure, heat, and a proprietary chemical formulation creates the core of Norman Shutters reinforced engineered stile.
