New Horizon

What New Horizon does

New Horizon Shutters International, LLC is a privately held custom exterior shutter manufacturer founded in 2004 and headquartered at 7259 Spa Road, Suite A, North Charleston, SC. The company designs and builds polymer composite and aluminum exterior shutters under five product series — Artisan, Classic, Deep South, E-Class, and Aluminum — covering roughly fifteen style families (Charleston Louver, New York Louver, Raised Panel, Board and Batten, Bahama/Bermuda, Combination, Spandrel, and others) targeted at historically accurate residential architecture, custom builder specifications, and hurricane/weather-resistant applications.

Its manufacturing platform is built on a patented structural design that allows louver spans up to 45 inches without sag or racking, paired with a multi-stage finish verified to AAMA 2605 Superior Performing Organic Coatings standards. The firm holds 2 US patents covering its structural design and production processes, and complements the physical product with a broad hardware line (hinges, pintels, holdbacks, specialty Bahama hardware) plus downloadable Autodesk Revit BIM files for architectural specification.

Commercially, New Horizon operates a quote-based, custom-manufacturing revenue model. It distributes through an authorized national dealer network supported by showroom wall and floor displays and a 'Find a Dealer' website locator, while also accepting direct contact-form inquiries from architects, builders, designers, developers, general contractors, and homeowners. Memberships with AIA, AIA-CRAN, AIBD, AAMA, and ICA support its specification-driven go-to-market. The company has not disclosed revenue or funding and is led by a small team headed by President and Founding Partner Harry Rembert.

Broad incumbents

• CertainTeed: CertainTeed offers siding, roofing, fence, railing, and exterior trim, and sells shutters through its building products distribution network. It competes with New Horizon in builder procurement contexts but does not focus on custom architect-grade shutters.
• JELD-WEN: JELD-WEN manufactures windows, doors, and interior/exterior shutters as part of a broad building products portfolio. It overlaps with New Horizon's Aluminum Series and custom-shutter offerings, but operates across many product categories rather than specializing in architectural exterior shutters.
• James Hardie Industries: James Hardie is a global siding and exterior building products leader that has expanded into adjacent exterior categories. While best known for fiber-cement siding, the company competes for builder specification share and could enter the architectural shutter category more aggressively.
• Ply Gem: Ply Gem is a large North American exterior building products manufacturer whose portfolio includes shutters, siding, windows, and doors. It competes with New Horizon on builder-driven residential projects, though Ply Gem serves a broader category set rather than specializing in architect-grade custom shutters.

Direct peers

• Timberlane Shutters: Timberlane Shutters manufactures custom exterior shutters in a range of styles (louver, panel, board-and-batten, Bahama), closely overlapping New Horizon's Artisan, Classic, and Bahama series. Both target architects, builders, and homeowners via custom manufacturing and dealer networks, making Timberlane the most direct competitor.
• Builders Edge: Builders Edge produces exterior shutters, vents, and related accessories distributed through home improvement and builder channels. While more standardized and lower-priced than New Horizon's lines, it competes for the same end-customer projects and dealer shelf space.
• Mid-America Building Products: Mid-America Building Products manufactures exterior shutters, mounting blocks, and vents sold through building products distributors. Comparable in product category (decorative exterior shutters) and dealer-channel go-to-market, though typically at lower price points than New Horizon's premium series.

Emerging players

• Phantom Screens: Phantom Screens specializes in retractable screen solutions for doors, windows, and outdoor living spaces — an adjacent category that increasingly competes for the same exterior architectural specification on premium residential projects.
