One-of-a-Kind Wood Shutters

G. W. Cernoch Works produces custom wood shutters for any exterior historic window or door application.  We build both fixed slat and rolling slat shutters with narrow (2-1/4" or less) wide slats in the traditional styles.  Shutters (or blinds as they are sometimes called) can be built in a combination of fixed and rolling slat, slat and panel, and all paneled as well.  Bermuda shutters, inside sliding shutters, and custom louver vents can also be constructed.

Our rolling slat shutters are built with the traditional wooden pivot pin milled on each end of the slat by a slat tenoning machine.  

All joinery for shutters is either blind or through mortise and tenon and edge profiles are copied from period examples circa 1880-1900.  We can also reproduce replicas of your existing shutters if that is what you need.
