Sustainability & Precision: How Norman Crafts Its Wood Shutters
One of Norman’s standout products is its line of real wood shutters, but what makes them so special is the incredible level of care that goes into harvesting and crafting each piece.
Sustainably Managed Forests – Norman controls every aspect of their wood sourcing, using sustainably harvested wood from their own reforested timberlands. This ensures that their materials are ethically sourced and that new trees are planted for every tree used.
Quarter-Sawn Wood Processing – Instead of traditional flat-sawn methods, Norman uses a quarter-sawn technique, which results in:
Stronger, more durable wood that resists warping.
A more refined, consistent grain pattern for a luxurious finish.
Better structural integrity, making their shutters last longer.
Drying & Conditioning for Ultimate Stability – Before the wood is crafted into shutters, Norman meticulously dries and conditions each piece in a controlled environment. This process ensures that the shutters are resistant to humidity, shrinking, and warping, making them ideal for all climates.
Handcrafted & Engineered for Perfection – Every shutter is hand-finished with a multi-step process that includes sanding, painting, and staining for a flawless, furniture-quality look. The result? Beautiful, resilient shutters that stand the test of time.
