Who it’s for
Interior designers and decorators
Either track
Specify shutters in your schemes without becoming a workroom. As a referral partner you send the client and we quote, make and ship; as a dealer you buy at trade pricing and put shutters on your own invoice. Every paint colour and stain is a colour match, so the shutter follows the scheme, not the other way round.
Contractors and renovators
Dealer
Window coverings are the last thing a renovation client buys, often from someone else, after you’ve left. Shutters you can measure at trim-out and install with the same crew keep that job on your invoice. Made-to-measure means no trimming on site, and the designer prices every opening while you’re still in the house.
Window covering and blinds stores
Dealer
Add a solid-wood shutter line without carrying stock: every order is made to the measurements you take and shipped to you or straight to the customer. Customers can price shutters online before they walk in, so they arrive with a budget rather than a guess.
Realtors, stagers and property managers
Referral partner
Buyers ask what to do about the windows; landlords want something that outlasts tenants. Refer them to us and we handle the quote, the order and the delivery, and you earn a referral fee. No minimums and nothing to stock.
What you’re selling
- One material, solid American poplar, painted white as standard or colour-matched to any paint or stain. Why poplar
- Made to the measurements you take, to the nearest ⅛ in, in 2½, 3½ and 4½ in louvers, with flat or moulded frames, hidden or visible tilt, and shapes from arches to bay windows.
- Prices the client can see first. The cost page and the designer show retail ranges, so your clients come to you with a realistic budget. What shutters cost
- Shipped across the US and Canada, quoted in US or Canadian dollars.
How it works
- Apply below. Tell us your business, your city and the track you want.

Questions from dealers and partners
Is there a fee to join?
No. There’s no joining fee, franchise fee or territory fee on either track.
What’s the difference between a dealer and a referral partner?
A dealer buys shutters at trade pricing, sells them to their own clients on their own invoice and installs them, and commits to 1,000 sq ft of orders a month. A referral partner sends clients to us; we quote, make and ship to the client, and the partner earns a referral fee. There’s no minimum for referral partners.
How much is the trade discount or the referral fee?
We go through pricing and the referral fee on the partner call, once we know your business and your area. We don’t publish them.
What does 1,000 sq ft a month look like?
About 83 windows of 36 × 48 in a month, or a handful of whole-house jobs. The minimum is on order volume across all your jobs, not per job.
Do dealers get a protected area?
Yes. Each dealer agreement sets out a protected area, agreed on the partner call, where we don’t sign another dealer.
Can I use the online designer with my clients?
Yes. Anyone can use the designer to draw and price windows. Dealers use it to put together an order; the price your client sees is the retail range, and your trade pricing applies to your order.
Do you sell exterior, vinyl or aluminum shutters too?
No. We make solid American poplar interior shutters, and that’s what the program sells. For outdoor shades, our sister brand Shade Boys runs its own program.
Where is the program open?
Everywhere we ship: the United States and Canada except Quebec, which opens once our French site is ready.
