What was once a partnership built on trust, responsiveness and shared growth has become increasingly rigid and program-driven, dictated by large, private-equity-owned brands. Dealers are often asked to adhere to standardized pricing tiers, aggressive volume targets, and policies that prioritize scale over service, while enduring long hold times and remake issues.
That’s exactly why more dealers are rethinking who they partner with, and why Onyx has become a compelling alternative for dealers seeking better products, better support, and a manufacturer that genuinely cares about their success.
A Dealer-First Philosophy, Not a Corporate Playbook
Unlike large national brands that require dealers to fit into rigid programs, Onyx takes a fundamentally different approach. Dealers aren’t forced into quotas, penalized for fluctuating volume, or treated differently based on size. Whether a dealer is growing steadily or navigating a challenging market, Onyx works with you – not against you.
This philosophy matters, especially in an industry where many dealers feel increasingly boxed in by one-size-fits-all programs that don’t reflect the realities of local markets.
Shutters Built to Reduce Callbacks, Not Create Them
the one you have to redo.
Onyx shutters are built with durability, consistency and long-term performance in mind. The focus isn’t just on how shutters look upon installation, but also on how they perform years later—reducing callbacks, remakes and costly second trips.
Onyx offers a full range of shutter materials, including premium basswood, sycamore, engineered MDF hybrids, and solid vinyl shutters, designed for heat and humidity resistance and long-term reliability, backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
Just as importantly, Onyx provides clear, reliable lead times that you can confidently communicate to homeowners:
• U.S.-made polyvinyl: 2-3 weeks
• Overseas wood and specialty shutters: 6-7 weeks
A Competitive New Shade Program
Our new shade line is a complete upgrade in both quality and selection, offering hundreds of fabric and color combinations across a wide range of shade categories, including roller, zebra, screen, honeycomb, fabric blinds, and sheerview shades.
With industry-standard 2-3 week lead times, the new shade line is designed to be competitive with national brands without forcing dealers into restrictive pricing structures or complicated programs.
Real Support, People & Answers
Onyx takes pride in being the opposite. Dealers work directly with a knowledgeable support team that understands shutters and shades and responds quickly when issues arise. Questions are answered, problems are resolved, and remake decisions are made without unnecessary friction.
Especially when you’re onsite with a customer and have an issue, you won’t be put on hold – you’ll talk directly with one of our team members who can solve the problem and cares about the outcome.
