Kirtz® shutters are carefully crafted to accentuate the individuality of your home. We use only hardwood and the best paints and stains for durability. The stiles on our shutters are strong and warp-resistant. Thanks to the use of Old World Joinery, a Kirtz® Shutter can never come apart. The elliptical louvers provide superior temperature and light control. The sculptured tiltrod has a substantial feel and works without fail. Our tensioning system ensures that the shutter looks good, no matter how often you open and close the louvers. Kirtz® Shutters crafts shutters with moveable or fixed louvers, no matter the shape the opening.

🌿 Exterior shutters don't just frame a window — they frame the entire face of a home.

When they're built to architectural proportion and crafted from quality materials, the difference is visible from the street.

When they're not, that's visible too.

Our exterior shutters are built from cedar, cut and finished to match the scale of each opening. Not catalog dimensions. Not stock widths. Each set is sized specifically for the window it's going beside — because architectural proportion is the detail that separates a finished exterior from one that just has shutters on it.

Decorative by design.
Precision-built by craft.
The kind of curb appeal that holds up for decades.

📸 This is the kind of kitchen we love to work in.

Custom hardwood plantation shutters sized and finished to fit the window — not pulled from a shelf.

A live-edge island that earns its place in the room. Details that make the whole space feel intentional.

This is the standard we bring to every consultation. If your kitchen is missing that finishing touch, we'd love to help you figure out what it should be.

🪟 One question we get pretty often: does it matter whether shutters mount inside or outside the window frame?

It matters more than most people realize — and the answer depends on your trim, your wall depth, and the look you're after.

An inside mount sits flush within the frame opening.
It's clean, precise, and lets your window trim do its job architecturally.
For rooms with well-defined casing and deeper window sills, it's usually the right call.

An outside mount covers the full frame and extends past the opening.
It works beautifully on windows with minimal trim, adds visual height when mounted above the frame, and is often the better fit for older homes where the openings aren't perfectly square.

There's no universal right answer — it comes down to your specific windows, your home's style, and what you're trying to achieve in the room.

Our experienced consultants work through exactly that with you in person — measuring every opening, understanding your space, and helping you make the right call before a single board gets cut. ✨

🏡 Your Curb Appeal Has One Job. Make It Count.

The first impression of any home is made from the street.

Before anyone sees the interior, the floors, the custom work inside — they see the exterior.

And exterior shutters are one of the few elements that can instantly elevate or underwhelm that first impression.

Most exterior shutters on the market are thin, undersized, and clearly never meant to be taken seriously. They're stamped from composite or vinyl, sized to fit nothing in particular, and installed as an afterthought.

We build exterior shutters that are architecturally correct — sized to the actual window, constructed from cedar, finished with the same attention we bring to our interior work. They're decorative, but they're built to look like they mean it. Proportioned properly, they read as part of the home's original design rather than something tacked on after the fact.

Cedar is our material of choice for exterior work — naturally resistant to moisture and temperature swings, holds paint and stain beautifully, ages with character. The construction is built to the same standard as everything else that leaves our shop.

When a home has exterior shutters that are right — proportioned to the window, built to last, finished with intention — it shows. It reads as quality before anyone walks through the door.

🏛️ From Our Portfolio: A Maple Sunburst, Built for New York.

This is a full semicircular sunburst shutter — solid maple, 107" wide by 52" tall — photographed on the shop floor in 2014, the day it was ready to ship.

The radiating louvers follow the geometry from center to arch, each one cut to the precise length and angle required by the curve.

The inner half-circle panel, the curved outer frame, the consistent reveal between every louver — this is the kind of work that requires more than a template. It requires knowing exactly what you're doing before the first cut.

This piece was built for a home in New York. It left our shop in Stillwater, Oklahoma and landed on a wall across the country because someone wanted it built right.

Thirty-five years and we're still building to that standard.

⚙️ When the Window Is Big, Every Decision Gets More Consequential.

Most shutter sizing conversations are straightforward. Standard windows in standard openings have well-established solutions.

But when the window is large — tall double-hung, wide picture windows, floor-to-ceiling glass, oversize casements — the decisions compound quickly.

Louver Size Matters More at Scale
On a standard 28" wide window, louver size is primarily a visual preference. On a 60" wide window, it's structural. Larger louvers on a wide panel carry more stress across the tilt rod and the stile. At a certain point, the panel itself needs to be divided — which is a different conversation.

Panel Width Has Engineering Limits
A shutter panel that's too wide will sag, warp, or rack over time. Standard shutter panels run 9" to 25" wide. For wider openings, more panels are required — which means panel count, configuration, and meeting point all need to be planned intentionally.

This isn't a limitation; it's the reason properly built shutters last decades.

The Meeting Point on Wide Openings
When multiple panels meet across a wide opening, the meeting point placement affects both function and appearance. Centered meetings look intentional. Off-center meetings can look like an error. We plan these before production.

Large windows are an architectural asset.
Custom shutters built to their scale reinforce that.
Off-the-shelf solutions shrink the window visually rather than completing it.

✨ The Roman Shade, Perfected.

There's a reason the Roman shade has been a design staple for decades — the clean fabric folds, the soft tailored look, the way it transforms a window into a design moment. It's a classic that works in almost every room.

Hunter Douglas took that classic and rebuilt it from the inside out.

Vignette® Modern Roman Shades use a precision lift system that keeps the fabric folds uniform and flat every time — no bunching, no sagging, no uneven stacking that plagues most Roman shades after a year of daily use. The result is a shade that looks as refined on year five as it did when it was installed.

Available in dozens of fabric options from light-filtering sheers to room-darkening panels, in room-darkening and light-filtering versions, with blackout liner options for bedrooms and media rooms.

This is the kind of window treatment that makes a room feel finished.

🌌 May the 4th Be With Your Windows.

A long time ago, in a shop not so far away (Stillwater, Oklahoma, actually) — we started building shutters for windows that no one else could touch.

Arched tops. Full radius curves. Angled rakes. Circles, Octagons.

The shapes that make a home architecturally interesting are almost always the shapes that standard window treatment companies look at and say "we don't do that."

We do that. We've been doing that for over 35 years.

Every architectural shutter we build is custom-engineered to the exact geometry of the opening.
The curve isn't approximated.
The angles aren't fudged.
Each louver is cut to the precise length required by the shape — because a shutter
that fights its window is no shutter at all.

Whether your windows belong in a galaxy far, far away or right here in Oklahoma — we'll build something worthy of them.

🏠 The Window Treatment That Outlasts Everything Else.

Blinds get replaced.
Curtains get updated.
Fabric shades fade, sag, and eventually look like they've been there too long — because they have.

Custom wood shutters work differently.
They're built into the window.
Solid hardwood frames, precision-fit to the exact dimensions of each opening, finished to match the trim and character of the home.
When they're installed well, they look like they were always supposed to be there.

That's the standard we've held for over 35 years.
Not shutters that approximate your window size.
Not factory-produced panels in standard dimensions.

Shutters built from measurements taken in your home, constructed to fit the actual opening — including arched windows, angled frames, and openings that nothing off the shelf would ever fit correctly.

The question isn't whether you'll eventually replace your current window treatments. You will.
The question is whether you replace them with something that needs replacing again in five years, or something that's still there in thirty.

🏛️ This Is What It Looks Like When You Don't Take Shortcuts.

This oval sunburst panel came out of our shop — a custom architectural shutter build that required working out every angle, every spoke, every proportion by hand before a single piece of wood was cut.

The construction starts with the outer oval frame, built to precise measurements. Then the spokes — each one individually fit from the outer frame to the central ellipse, radiating at consistent angles around the full perimeter. The central oval is joined cleanly to every spoke it receives. There's no template for this. It's geometry and woodworking in the same conversation.

This is the kind of work that gets called "decorative" — but the craft behind it is anything but casual.
Every joint is tight.
Every spoke sits at the right angle.
The whole piece holds together because the math was right and the ex*****on matched it.

Over 35 years, this shop has built work like this because someone asked for it and we said yes.

That's still true.
