Missouri Storm Shutters

Missouri Storm Shutters are functional shutters ("shutters that actually shut").   They operate on sliding door hardware, and are sourced from weather-damaged hardwood trees.

• Missouri Storm Shutters are designed to be naturally attractive, while also adding a layer of physical security - as well as thermal & acoustic insulation - to residential structures.

• Our shutters are fabricated in layers:  

  • 1. FRONT:  hardwood - stained & sealed

    2. MIDDLE:  hempitecture  rigid foam insulation (thermal & acoustic properties)

    3. BACK:  steel mesh security screen

• We include strong hand-held magnets or cable-tethered counterweights to assist shutter closure

• We plan to work with Skera Woodworks,  Radial Magnets,  Rustic Grain,  EisenBaum WoodShop and others to manufacture at scale (by licensing our designs to others)

• Pricing:  our estimated cost structure per shutter pair:  

  • 2. • materials:  $600

       • design & build:  8hrs x $25/hr = $200

       • transport & install:  4hrs x $25/hr = $100

       • admin & overhead:  $100

       • TOTAL:  $1,000 (+ tax)
