Description

PVC Bahama shutters provide shade, ventilation and distinctive coastal character in a durable material designed for exterior use. Also called Bermuda shutters, they hinge above the window and lift outward from the bottom. Adjustable support arms hold the shutter open, while space between the fixed louvers allows airflow and a partial view outside.

Each shutter is custom-made from solid PVC with options for size, vertical sub-stiles, divider rails, hardware and finish. PVC is especially well suited for coastal and humid environments because of its resistance to moisture and relatively low maintenance requirements.

PVC Bahama Shutter Construction

Solid PVC stiles, rails and louvers form a substantial 1.25-inch-thick shutter. Frame joints are secured with exterior polyurethane adhesive and threaded screws to create a strong assembly designed for long-term outdoor exposure.

Individual 1.625-inch-wide louvers are positioned between the vertical stiles at a fixed 25-degree angle. The louvers are spaced on 1.3125-inch centers with approximately 0.25 inch of open space between adjacent slats. The top, bottom and divider rails are rabbeted so the louvers fit into the frame with minimal gaps.

PVC performs well in wet and humid environments and requires relatively little routine maintenance. Like other PVC exterior products, the material can experience normal expansion and contraction as temperatures change. Proper installation and support allow for this movement and help maintain the intended shutter alignment.

Shutters over 84 inches high incorporate metal support strips within the stiles for additional reinforcement. These strips may be visible from the back of the shutter.

PVC Bahama Shutter Options

Dimensions

Select the finished width and height of each exterior shutter. Widths range from 16 to 60 inches, and heights range from 18 to 95 inches, both in 0.25-inch increments.

The required dimensions depend on whether the shutter will fit inside the window opening or overlap it from the outside. Establish the hinge location and check window depth, trim and sill clearance before ordering.

Use the Bahama shutter measuring instructions to determine the correct dimensions for each window.

Vertical Sub-Stiles

Vertical sub-stiles divide the shutter into side-by-side sections of horizontal louvers. These members support the louvers and allow a Bahama shutter to span the full width of the window.

Available configurations depend on shutter width:

Bahama shutter with no sub-stiles.No Sub-Stile
Shutter Width: 16 – 27″
One sub-stile on exterior Bermuda shutter.
One Sub-Stile
Shutter Width: 24 – 50″
Two sub stiles on outdoor Bermuda shutter.Two Sub-Stiles
Shutter Width: 36 – 60″
Outdoor Bermuda shutter with 3 vertical sub stiles.Three Sub-Stiles
Shutter Width: 48 – 60″
Wide outdoor Bahama shutter with 4 vertical sub stiles.Four Sub-Stiles
Shutter Width: 60″

Louvers

PVC Bahama shutters are constructed with individual 1.625-inch-wide solid PVC louvers. Each louver is 0.3125 inch thick and fixed at a 25-degree angle.

Louvers are positioned on 1.3125-inch centers with approximately 0.25 inch of open space between adjacent slats. This spacing allows air and some light to pass through the shutter while maintaining shade over the window.

The louvers are fixed and do not rotate. The support arms adjust the angle of the entire Bahama shutter, which also changes the outward view through the louvers.

Divider Rail

A horizontal divider rail separates the louvers into upper and lower sections. Available configurations include no divider rail, one centered rail, one rail at a custom location, or two rails at custom locations.

A divider rail is optional on shutters under 90 inches high and required when the shutter is 90 inches or taller.

One custom divider rail on louvered shutter.For a custom divider rail location, measure from the bottom of the shutter to the desired center of the divider rail. For two divider rails, provide both measurements from the bottom of the shutter.

The actual divider-rail position may vary slightly from the requested location because the final position is influenced by the number and spacing of the louvers.

Top Hinge

A full-width aluminum top hinge supports the shutter and allows the bottom to lift outward. The hinge is cut to the shutter width and arrives in a natural, unpainted silver finish.

Hinge selection depends on the mounting location and the amount of clearance required behind the shutter.

Standard depth Bahama hinge diagram for pvc shutters.Standard Top Hinge
The standard hinge is 2.375 inches deep. With a 1.25-inch-thick PVC shutter, approximately 0.25 inch of clearance remains behind the shutter.
Deep Bahama hinge diagram for pvc shutters.Deep Top Hinge
The deep hinge is 3.25 inches deep and provides approximately 1.125 inches of clearance behind a PVC shutter.
Top mount flat Bahama hinge diagram for pvc shutters.Flat Top Hinge
The flat hinge mounts to the header of a sufficiently deep window opening and allows the shutter to nest inside the opening.

Hinges are available for an additional charge. Select No Hardware when the hinge will be sourced separately. Installation screws are not included.

Support Arms

Adjustable support arms, also called shutter stays, hold the bottom of the shutter away from the window. Choose an arm kit based on shutter height, the desired opening angle and the planned bracket locations.

Bahama shutter support arms that hold the shutter away from the wall.Available Support Arm Lengths:

12″ Arms:
The 12″ arms extend to a maximum length of 20″, including the brackets.

18″ Arms:
The 18″ arms extend to a maximum length of 32″, including the brackets.

24″ Arms:
The 24″ arms extend to a maximum length of 44″, including the brackets.

Wall Brackets (Camel Brackets):
1.125″ wide, 2.375″ tall, 1.375″ deep

Shutter-Side Brackets:
1.125″ wide, 1.0625″ tall, 1.5″ deep


The support-arm calculator can be used to compare appropriate arm lengths based on shutter height and the preferred opening angle. Mounting the brackets higher on the shutter and wall reduces the required arm length.

Support arms arrive in a natural, unpainted silver finish and are available for an additional charge. Select No Hardware when support arms will be sourced separately. Installation screws are not included.

Review the Bahama shutter installation instructions for hinge mounting and support-arm placement.

Finish

PVC Bahama shutters are available unfinished, primed only, factory painted in a standard color or factory painted in a custom color.

Unfinished – Paint Grade
Raw PVC is supplied without a factory finish. The shutter should be properly prepared and painted before exterior installation.

Primed
A factory-applied primer/sealer prepares the shutter for finish paint after delivery. The primed surface should be prepared according to the exterior shutter finishing instructions before applying the final coating.

Painted – Standard Color
Choose from nine standard exterior shutter paint colors. Factory-painted shutters are professionally prepared and sprayed on all surfaces with General Finishes Exterior 450 Topcoat for a consistent finished appearance. Matching touch-up paint is included.
