Bahama Shutters
Bahama Shutters are similar in design
to the Colonial Shutter. Bahama shutters cover
windows at an angle when open giving the house
a Bahamian appearance. The Bahama shutter
also reduces the amount of sunlight entering
the window. Simply lowering and latching the
shutter provides protection.
You Should Consider Bahama Shutters if:
• You are in the design or construction
stage.
• Have an existing home or office
• Stucco, brick, wood fascia, or frame
(if smooth exterior surface).
• Ease of operation is important.
• Sun and light control is important
• Security is important
• Sound control is important
• Access to opening is possible from
outside, in most cases. However, we do have
a system that allows operation of Bahama
Shutters from the inside.

Considerations
• If you are in the design
stage, we suggest you plan for the installation
by insuring there will be clear space for
the Colonial shutters on each side of an
opening.
• If you are purchasing high-quality
windows, the impact-approved glass can be
considered in lieu of any additional storm
shutter product. Keep in mind, though, the
glass can break if struck by debris during
a storm and is expensive to replace. The
Bahama Shutter when used as a decorative
product over windows with impact glass will
receive additional protection that may prevent
the damage to even impact glass.
• All manner of custom shapes such
as arches or angles or curves are possible
with colonial style shutters and to some
degree the Bahama style shutters.
• Bahama shutters require enough room
above the opening for the hinge and up to
4” down each side for the support
arms. The support arms will allow up to
a 60degree angle of the shutter panel. If
you require greater angle we can provide
extra long support arms.
• Obstructions such as exterior lights
should be considered when evaluating an
opening for surface mount installation.
Remember the Colonial style shutter needs
space to the side of each opening for the
panels.
• Decorative banding around a window
or door using non structural products may
require special installation steps.
• Lap-style siding in vinyl or wood
creates a non-smooth surface may require
additional installation techniques. We will
be happy to answer any questions you may
have.
• Colonial and Bahama shutters are
medium-priced storm protection and provide
practical, effective and convenient protection
plus they look great too!
