The Bahama Shutter is one of today’s most unique shutter styles, one that provides protection from the sun and weather without obstructing your view. Made popular in coastal and tropical climates, the Bahama Shutter is an excellent addition to many exteriors.
Bahama shutters are louvered and hinged above the window to provide convenient light, ventilation and privacy control in daily use. Support arms are adjustable to 60 degrees. Longer support arms are available to 90 degrees. Both open and closed, Bahama shutters allow for good ventilation. Almost universally built with fixed louvers, Bahama shutters allow air to pass through the louvers into the house. This type of exterior shutters offers pleasant shade when open, acting much like an awning. Bahama shutters have a distinct look covering a wider area than a standard exterior shutter. Bahama shutters use bahama shutter hinges at the top of the window.
The shutters remain open with shutter stays, a type of exterior shutter hardware that hold the shutter away from the outside window. Bahama shutters can serve as storm shutters to protect your home during high winds and rain. Many people use Bahama shutters as hurricane shutters for protection from winds in excess of 70 miles per hour. Bahama hurricane shutters may need to be reinforced to serve as the only line of defense against hurricanes.
If the shutters are washed yearly and after storms they will last long after their warranties end. We have samples of all these products and look forward to showing them to you at your home or business.
