The owner of the downtown loft frequently hosted guests who wanted to sleep late after a long night of exploring the Crescent City’s diverse nightlife. He requested that the shutters be designed to block out daylight when needed, be easy to operate, and have a modern look to match the design of his condo.

CCM’s design met all of the owner’s criteria, including having a hidden operator mechanism that allowed the shutters to open and close in unison without having a prominent operating rod that is common to most operable louver shutters. And the shutter design had concealed pivot hinges to maintain the clean, modern look that the owner desired.

The shutters were fabricated and installed in less than 3 weeks to have them available for a party the customer was throwing.

Besides enhancing the architectural appeal of any home or business, interior and exterior shutters add privacy and protection. We make custom shutters to fit any door or window.

Our mortise and tenon joints plus slats with round tenons that are cut from solid louver stock follow traditional New Orleans construction methods. No gluing of plastic dowels into louvers on any of our shutters.

Because of the damages caused by hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Louisiana homeowners can apply for grant funds of up to $7,500 to make even small-scale improvements that will protect their homes from loss in future storms. That includes installing storm shutters.
