Bahama shutter

Colonial: The colonial shutters are used when the architecture needs the look of a colonial shutter. The shutters are permanently attached on each side and swing closed in the event of a hurricane. After the shutters are closed you must install a minimum of one horizontal cross bar.
Roll Shades: The insulated roll shade is an interior roll-up shutter and does not meet the hurricane code. It is used primarily on screen rooms to block out sun, heat and rain.
Roll Up: The roll up shutter is the "top of the line" in hurricane shutters. This shutter has a housing on top with side rails on each side. The slats are rolled upon an axle within the housing. Depending upon the size of the shutter the roll up is operated by, a pull strap, a hand crank or an electric motor.

Bahams Shutters

Bahamas: The Bahaman shutter is an excellent choice when you architecture lends itself to the Key West look. The Bahaman shutter works best on South and West elevations of your home where shade becomes important. The Bahama is permanently installed, in the event of a hurricane you need only screw bottom bolts into existing anchors.
Bahama with Open Louver: The open louver Bahama either on the top half of an opening or covering the entire opening is great for shade, while still letting in lots of fresh air. We can install this open louver shutter with panels to meet hurricane code.
Clamshell: You know the ones on the homes built in the fifties. They are built with a series of slats that curve toward the bottom. They operate like a Bahaman shutter and come in either a shade or impact shutter.
Impact / Security Film: This tested film will withstand the impact of flying debris during a storm. The film itself is tested and installed connected to the existing glass and window frame. The window unit that we will be installing the film upon has not been tested. The film will withstand the storm if your window frame will withstand the storm.
Screen Rooms: We will install a screen room with insulated roof or close in your existing covered patio.
Retractable Awning: Cover your patio or window with the touch of a button. Unlike fixed canvas awnings these may be opened to let in sunlight or closed to keep sunlight out. The awnings can be operated from inside your home.
