Kirtz Shutters are constructed by hand, using the most advanced manufacturing techniques
3/8" x 2 1/4" hardwood dowels in all rail and stile unions, increasing strength and rigidity
Elliptical louvers have a 1/2" center and providing superior strength and stability.
Louvers overlap 1/2" to provide improved temperature and light control
Painted Finish - Components are sprayed with a water based primer in our lineal spray system and over dried. After assembly shutters are taken to the finishing room. A pre-catalyzed lacquer is used for both the base coat and final coat. All finish work is done with strict adherence to Federal EPA and State DEQ guidelines.
Stained finish - Lumber is hand selected with the chosen finish in mind. After assembly the product is stained and hand rubbed by experienced finishers. Each shutter is then toned and care taken to insecure an even pigmentation, using the approved strike off as a comparison throughout the finish process. Finally, multiple application of sealer is applied to give the shutters their finished luster.
