Missouri Storm Shutters
Missouri Storm Shutters are functional shutters ("shutters that actually shut"). They operate on sliding barn door hardware, and are sourced from weather-damaged hardwood trees.
Our shutters are fabricated in layers:
FRONT: hardwood - stained & sealed
MIDDLE: rigid foam insulation (thermal & acoustic properties) - coated with weather-proof wax
BACK: steel mesh security screen
We can incorporate repurposed bicycle gears and rack & pinion steering systems into our designs to manually operate shutters from indoors, or repurposed garage door openers for remote control.
We plan to work with Full Circle Forest Products in NE Missouri to manufacture at scale.
Pricing: our estimated cost structure per shutter pair:
materials: $600
design & build: 8hrs x $25/hr = $200
transport & install: 4hrs x $25/hr = $100
admin & overhead: $100
TOTAL: $1,000 (+ tax)
we suggest starting with bedrooms or street-facing ground floor windows first
