Shutters

Why Sliding Door Shutters

A sliding glass door is the one opening a standard shutter can't cover, because the panels would block the door. Shutters for sliding doors solve that two ways. Bi-fold panels are hinged together and fold back to one side of the opening. Bypass panels hang from a track at the top and slide past one another, the same way the door does.

Norman's Bi-fold 180™ design is built for exactly this. It's offered on Woodlore® Plus, Brightwood™ and Normandy® shutters. Woodlore® Plus panels run up to 36 inches wide, and lighter hardwood lines allow wider single panels, which means fewer panels to fold on a wide slider.

French doors are simpler. The shutter panels mount on each door and swing with it, so both doors still open and the louvers stay put. A pair of shuttered French doors next to a shuttered window reads as one finished wall.

In Las Vegas, the patio slider is often the biggest piece of west-facing glass in the house. Louvers tilt to send the low afternoon sun up toward the ceiling instead of across the floor, and composite louvers won't warp or yellow in that sun. Real wood is lighter, so it suits the widest openings on shaded sides of the house.

Josh measures every door himself, including the clearance the panels need to fold or slide, and our measurement guarantee covers every number: if one is off, we remake it and install it again, free. Shutters take 6 to 10 weeks, counted from the day you order.

More answers on our questions page.

Do my windows need to be professionally measured?

For custom, yes. Your blinds, shades or shutters are built to the numbers we send, so the measurement is the whole job. Josh measures every window himself, and he works out the details there and then, like whether a wide shutter panel needs an extra stile. We stand behind every number. If a measurement is off, we remake it and install it again, free. That is our measurement guarantee.

How long does it take to receive and install custom shades?

3–5 weeks for blinds and shades, 6–10 weeks for shutters, counted from the day you order. Motorized products take about a week longer. Your lead time is written on your quote, so you know before you say yes. Need privacy sooner? We put up temporary shades for free while you wait. On install day we install, walk through every window with you, clean up, and haul your old blinds away free.

Which window treatments are best for Las Vegas heat?

Stop the sun before it reaches the glass if you can. Exterior solar screens turn away roughly 70–90% of the sun's heat, and they are the most economical way to treat a whole west or south wall. Inside, solar shades cut heat and glare while keeping the view, cellular shades insulate, and composite shutters won't warp or yellow in direct sun. Motorized shades can close themselves at 2pm every summer afternoon, whether or not anyone is home.

Are custom window treatments worth it?

For most Las Vegas homes, yes, because fit and fabric are where off-the-shelf goes wrong. Custom is made to your exact openings, including sliding doors and tall great-room glass. The fabric choice, like a solar shade's openness factor, is exactly the decision people get wrong buying online, and we make it with you window by window. And shutters are the one window treatment that reliably adds value at resale instead of wearing out.
