Our 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.
30 standard colors are available. Hurricane code-rated impact Bahama shutters are available. Composite-blend, aluminum and wood shutters are available. Several options are available for Louver Blade styles, including Decorative or Operating Tilt Rods.
