Considerations

• 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.
• 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.
• 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!
