What Are Bahama Shutters?
Bahama shutters are exterior shutters mounted above the window and hinged at the top rather than the sides. Supported by adjustable arms, they project outward from the home, creating shade while maintaining visibility and airflow.
This unique design has made Bahama shutters a signature feature of coastal architecture throughout South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and the Caribbean.
Their angled louvers allow natural light and breezes to enter while helping reduce glare, heat, and direct sun exposure.
