About Lotus & Windoware
The Texas-assembled brand for straightforward wood projects.
Lotus & Windoware is a Texas-based window treatment manufacturer that specializes in wood blinds, plantation shutters, woven wood shades, and roller shades. The business model combines US assembly with internationally sourced wood components, which delivers the price-tier advantage of offshore manufacturing while keeping the final fit, finish, and quality control on US soil. The product catalog is more focused than the larger competitors, which is part of how the brand maintains pricing discipline.
We spec Lotus regularly on Greater Atlanta projects where the configuration is conventional and the design call is straightforward. That includes whole-house wood blind installs in Marietta, Roswell, and Cumming where the homeowner wants real wood blinds across consistent openings, plantation shutter projects in Douglasville and Carrollton where the budget calls for one tier below Hunter Douglas or Norman, and woven wood shade projects in sunrooms and screened porches where the natural texture is the design statement. The brand is not where we go for deep custom-stain matching or specialty shapes; for those we go to Norman or Hunter Douglas.
This page covers the Lotus product lines we install regularly in Georgia, the warranty terms in plain language, and where Lotus is the right call versus where the premium custom brands make more sense. For pricing context, see our plantation shutters cost guide.
The product lines we install
Five Lotus product lines we spec regularly in Georgia.
Real Wood Plantation Shutters
The Lotus real-wood shutter line. Basswood or paulownia construction depending on the configuration, with a focused stain and paint catalog. The default Lotus spec for living rooms, dining rooms, and primary bedrooms in Greater Atlanta where the homeowner wants real wood at a price below the premium custom brands. Lifetime limited warranty on frame and panel.

Composite Shutters
The Lotus composite shutter line for moisture-prone applications. MDF and poly composite construction with a lifetime warranty against warp, fade, and peel. Common spec for bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms in Greater Atlanta where the budget does not justify Hunter Douglas Palm Beach Polysatin but the moisture spec still demands a composite product.

What the Lotus warranty actually covers.
Lifetime on plantation shutters
Lotus plantation shutter frames and panels carry a lifetime limited warranty against material failure, warping, and structural defects for the life of the original purchaser at the original install address. Stained finishes carry a 10-year fade warranty under normal use conditions.
Wood blind warranty terms
Lotus real-wood blinds carry warranty terms from 5 to 10 years depending on the specific product line, covering the slats, headrail, and lift mechanism against manufacturing defects. Faux wood blinds carry a lifetime warranty against warp and fade in moisture environments. We confirm the specific warranty term at order.
Woven wood and roller warranties
Woven wood shades carry warranty terms varying by the natural fiber, typically 5 years against fiber failure and mechanism defects. Roller shades carry 5 to 7 year warranties on the mechanism and fabric depending on the specific fabric line. Industry-standard warranty terms apply, confirmed at consultation.
Our workmanship warranty
On top of the Lotus product warranty, we add our own lifetime workmanship guarantee. If a bracket pulls loose, a louver bar goes out of plumb, or a lift mechanism needs servicing after install, we come back and fix it. The warranty is for the life of the original purchaser at the original install address.

Questions homeowners ask about Lotus
The honest answers.
How does Lotus compare to Graber and Norman?
Lotus competes one tier below Graber and Norman on price, with a more focused product catalog centered on wood blinds, shutters, and woven woods. Lotus does not offer the deep custom-stain catalog of Norman or the cellular shade breadth of Graber. For straightforward wood blind and standard plantation shutter projects where the configuration is conventional, Lotus typically prices 10 to 20 percent below Graber for comparable build quality.
What is the Lotus warranty?
Lotus offers industry-standard warranty terms on its core product lines: lifetime limited warranty on plantation shutter frames and panels against material failure, 5 to 10 year warranties on wood blind components depending on the specific product, and woven wood shade warranties varying by the natural fiber. We confirm the exact warranty terms for the specific Lotus product at consultation and add our own lifetime workmanship warranty on every install.
Are Lotus shutters real wood or composite?
Lotus produces both real wood and composite plantation shutters. The real-wood line uses basswood or paulownia sourced internationally and assembled in Texas. The composite line uses MDF and poly composite construction for moisture-prone applications. For Greater Atlanta bathroom and kitchen installs we typically spec the composite line; for dry-room installs in primary living areas, the real-wood line is the standard recommendation.
What is the lead time for Lotus products in Georgia?
Standard Lotus lead time is 4 to 6 weeks from order to install. Custom-stained shutter panels and shaped configurations push to 6 to 8 weeks. Lotus assembly happens in Texas, which keeps the freight time to Greater Atlanta short, but the international wood component supply chain occasionally creates lead-time variability we confirm at order placement.
