Manufacturer, Sunland. They come with a 25 year warranty.
4 week delivery.

Second appointment was Blinds Plus Shutters.
Carl was very polite and personable.
Manufacturer, Norman. Lifetime warranty
They would be $800 more expensive, but a superior shutter.
Delivery 8-10 weeks.
Offered to put a complimentary privacy covering on windows.

Last appointment was Blinds4less
Brenda also was pleasant, personable and knowledgeable.
Manufacturer again was Norman. Same lifetime warranty.
$1200 more than 48 Hours and $400 more than Blinds Plus Shutters
Delivery 10-12 weeks.

We went with Blinds Plus Shutters. Looking forward to having them installed. Should be a nice Christmas gift. .
You'll be pleased with the Norman Shutters. We've had them for five years. They still look as good as the day they were installed.
