Louvered Doors / Custom Wood Shutters

Louvered Doors are gaining popularity for uses throughout the home. They are perfect for areas of the home needing air ventilation or light shading all encompassed into a beautiful door. Given their versatility as a functional and decorative element, homeowners are finding additional applications beyond their traditional use.

All Louvered Doors are available with various louver slat widths and made to order to your exact custom sizes, large or small. Doors can also be built with a center rail or center stile allowing one opening to have louvers and the other a raised or flat panel. WalzCraft customization ensures your customers get the perfect louvered doors for any kitchen, custom closet or commercial project.

Operable Louvered Doors

Operable Louvered Doors / Wood Shutters feature adjustable louvers (movable louvers) which allow you to regulate air flow (ventilation) and shade sunlight. While they‘re most commonly used as interior shutters for windows, they can be customized to many other applications. Each is built to your exact sizes and crafted to the highest level of quality on specially engineered louver door CNC machinery.

These doors are available in any of our wood species options and in thicknesses of ¾”, 1”, 1 ¼”, 1½”, and 2″.

Further customization includes the customer’s choice of 1″, 1 ½”, 2″, and 2 ½” wide Louver Slat Moldings, as well as adding a center panel and finishing options. The top, bottom, and center rails may need to be adjusted in size to accommodate full louver placement within an opening.

When ordering operable louver doors, the louver actuator is attached to the louvers with small metal eyelets. We recommend removing the eyelets prior to finishing and reinstalling them once complete.
