The Wichita Home and Garden show provides an excellent opportunity for homeowners, designers and builders to see the quality of the Kirtz Shutter first hand and visit with our Wichita area sales representative. In addition to the motorized shutter, Kirtz will display a many hardwood shutters in a variety of shapes, woods and finishes.
Kirtz will be located in the Expo Hall Booth 502/504

We are proud to introduce TLC, or technical louver control, our new motorized shutters from Kirtz Shutters.
In development for over two years, this motorized feature is now available on Kirtz plantation shutters. It can also be retrofitted to existing Kirtz plantation shutters.
TLC is unique geared system of motorization that offers drastic improvements over the technology that has been available before today.
The SYSTEM
We use a patent pending right angle gearbox contained in the stile of the shutter to adjust the louvers. Premium quality brass gears resist corrosion and offer excellent durability.
A small, 6-Volt motor drives the gear box that turns the louvers. The
4 AA Lithium batteries that power the motor insure a long life of operation and are easily replaceable for minimal maintenance.
The motor operates with Radio Frequency transmission. This allows transmission from up to 65′ away from the motor, making motorized shutters a perfect solution for second story, difficult to operate windows.
AVAILABILITY
TLC by Kirtz is available on shutter panels that at least 12″ tall, and up to 120″ tall.
The System is compatible with standard tilt rods and the hidden tilt option, it is truly a versatile product.

Architectural Shaped windows such as triangles, arch tops, ovals, circles and hexagons all present many challenges when choosing a window covering.
This blog is focusing on triangle shaped, or Rake Top window openings.
Plantation Shutters are a great choice for Rake Windows for several reasons
Just as your window is an architectural statement for your home, the window treatment you choose should complement and enhance it. If you choose shutters (which I hope you will) be sure that the company you choose makes all the louvers movable in rake tops with horizontal louvers. See my earlier post about arch top windows for more info on that subject and why it matters. If you order a burst shape, be certain that the center hub is in proportion to the size of your window so that your finished product looks like a custom piece of millwork that belongs in your beautiful window.

Come check out Kirtz Plantation Shutters in the Wichita Parade of Homes going on now through May 3rd. We can be seen in one of the newest premier developments by Ritchtie Development called the Waterfront, located just east of Webb road off 13th Street. We are in model #1 (also the sales office) in the master bedroom, dining and living area.
Susan Kromer, the fantastic designer who is responsible for this homes design, specified 4 1/2″ louvers with hidden tilt, custom painted to match the trim. You will be amazed at the view through the shutters, and at what an amazing house it is. So, check it out!
Shutters of Tulsa, the Kirtz representation in the Tulsa area for many years, will have a booth during the Greater Tulsa Home and Garden Show Mar 12-15 in the Quicktrip Center at Expo Square. Come by, say hello to Don and see the quality that Kirtz has to offer!
The reason for this meal is workplace safety. Every month The Shutter Mill is accident free, all employees are treated to a lunch. That’s always great, but when we go 3 or more months with out an accident everyone is treated to steak for lunch. Not bad, huh?
After the lunch we have a safety meeting, and also an update on what’s going on with the company. This month we recognized two employees for five years of service at Kirtz. We have an every increasing maturity in our work force. More employees have been with us 5+ years than we can ever remember. This seasoned group of employees greatly helps contribute to maintaining, and continually increasing, our quality standards and efficiency. You can see it in every shutter that leaves here.
I guess that’s why we get the opportunity to install our shutters all over. Last year we went to St. Lucia, and the Bahamas for shutter jobs. Right now I have jobs in process for Frisco TX, and Kansas City, MO — all because these people want the quality that Kirtz has to offer.
If you have a project, give us a call. Have car (or plane ticket) —will travel.

February 12th-15th Kirtz Shutters will be displaying at the Wichita Area Builders Association Home Show. I work a lot of home shows in our regional area and this is one of the best. So many of the suppliers of the home construction industry operate on-site at homes and work without store fronts, these shows are a great opportunity to meet business owners and representatives in person and take a look at their work and product.
So, come meet us! Kevin (our wichita rep), Chris (our owner) and I (Heather) will all be out at Century II in booth space 504/506 in the Expo Hall. Come see our quality, talk to us about your projects and see why Kirtz has been the choice for discerning Kansans for 15+ years.
Show Hours are: Thurs Feb. 12 1pm-9pm, Friday Feb 13. 10am-9pm, Saturday 10am-9pm, and Sunday 10am to 5pm
Hope to see you there!!
