Advanced strength, technology and options. It’s Woodlore but more. Woodlore Plus is a hybrid shutter utilising a lightweight yet durable ABS for its louvres. 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. From sustainable and legally sourced wood products to safe and recyclable high-grade polymers and wood composites. Nurtured from our forests to our factories to your home.
• Trouble free “Invisible Tilt” system supplied with no surcharge. The louvres move in unison like magic with no visible tilt rod. Invisible Easy Tilt’s louvre drive gear system is built into each stile and operates louvres flawlessly with precision light and view control.
• More colour choices with over 23 standard colours or optional custom colours and a waterproof option. Now Woodlore Plus (G2) louvres are 15% thicker and have engineered timber louvre inserts.
  
• The Laminated Veneered Lumber (LVL) core, means the imperfections of timber have been removed, which results in a more structurally sound shutter when compared with competitor’s timber shutters.
  
• ABS louvers to provide long term stability, durability and functionality. ABS has high impact resistance and the ability to remain strong and durable in even the most trying environments. Available in 5 louvre sizes, 47mm, 63mm, 76mm, 89mm and 114mm.                                               
• ABS is harmless in that it has no known carcinogens, and there are no known adverse health effects related to exposure to ABS. The same cannot be said for PVC, with the EU banning many products containing phthalates. When PVC is just heated, it can release carcinogenic vapours in the air.
• Reinforced Engineered Wood Stiles – stiles, rails and mounting frames made from sustainable wood, grown and processed in Australia, proudly supporting Australian forestry and manufacturing industries. Multiple layers of hardwood veneer is bonded together to strengthen the core of the stile providing a lifetime of durability and stability.

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.

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

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
• Match panel location to specific window mullion locations
• 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

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
