Why Kestrel Louvered Doors?

Kestrel Louvered Doors are built for durability yet offer a look that is both light and airy. Blending in with several archtiectural styles our louvered doors are at home in decors ranging from French Country to British Colonial, from Victorian to Georgian.

Standard Features

  • Solid Hardwood Construction to insure premium grade doors. We mill all of our kiln dried lumber to insure qualtiy. We never use MDF or finger jointed material.

  • Pegged, mortise and tenon joinery that is historically accurate and provides a door frame that out-performs dowel and screw joints.

  • 3/8" Thick Louver blades are available in 1.7/8", 2.1/2" and 3.1/2" widths, in either a flat or tapered profile.

  • True Custom Sizing. We hand build every door to your custom size so that they are a perfect fit. We never cut down stock sizes.

Fixed and Operable Louvers

We build our louvered doors with your choice of Fixed or Operable louvers as well as a false louver where no venitlation is needed.

Leed Credits

Kestrel shutters and doors can contribute towards LEED credits to help your project's LEED certification. To learn more contact our sales department.

Optional Features

Every application is different and can have it's own set of requirements. Because of this we offer several options including wood species, custom stile and rail sizes, minimum air flow, arch tops and more. For a complete list click on the Available Options tab above.

Applications

  • Closet Doors - Louvered doors are well suited to closets as they help provide ventilation so that your clothes and stored items do not become musty.

  • Cabinet Doors - Louvered cabinet doors will give your kitchen a whole new look while providing the much needed ventialtion required by some appliances like wine coolers and small storage refridgerators.

  • Bathroom Doors - We offer doors both with true louvers, that allow air flow, as well as false louvers that give the look of louvers but provides privacy. Where a high humidity is a concern we can build your doors out of Spanish Ceder or Honduran Mahogany.

  • Interior Doors - Louvered interior doors can allow free air flow through out your home resulting in better distribution during heating and cooling.

  • Cabana Doors - For exterior applications where you need ventilation, such as cabanas, outdoor showers and changing rooms we offer louvered doors built from either Spanish Cedar or Honduran Mahognay.

  • Wardrobe Doors - Retrofit that old wardrobe or book shelf with a new pair of Kestrel louvered Doors and give your room a whole new look.

  • Shower Stall Doors - Whether it is a bathroom shower or an outdoor shower a louvered door will help reduce moisture buildup. We offer our shower stall doors made in either Spanish Cedar or Honduran Mahogany.

  • Utility Room Doors - Certain appliances, such as furnaces and wine coolers, require a minimum amount of airflow. If this air flow is not met the motor can overheat and fail. Just let us know your requirements and we will suggest the louvered door designs that will meet your needs.

  • Louver Inserts - Do you have an existing door that you wish had louvers?  Do you manufacture doors?  Over the years we have provided our customers with operable louver, as well as fixed louver, inserts.  These are made to fit within your existing frames and can be shipped assembled or in our exclusive D.I.Y. kits.
