  • 1. FRONT:  hardwood - stained & sealed

    2. MIDDLE:  rigid foam insulation (thermal & acoustic properties) - coated with weather-proof wax 

    3. 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.
