Description

Wood exterior Bahama shutters are prominent in tropical areas and along the Southern coast of the United States. The style promotes ventilation with outside air, while simultaneously shading windows from direct sunlight. Multi-functional Bermuda shutters hinge from the top of a window and lifts from the bottom. Tilt arms at the base of the opening brace the outside shutter away from the house. Fixed louvers allow for only minimally impeded sight lines. Outdoor wood Bahama shutters can close to assist tropical storm protection.

Construction of Bahama Wood Shutters

Bahama shutters can be manufactured from any of our premium wood options: Red Grandis, Cedar, or Mahogany. We start with high-quality kiln-dried lumber to fabricate solid 1 ½” thick exterior shutters that can weather harsh outdoor environments. After components are cut to size, stiles and rails are joined with 2 ½” wood dowels, exterior glue, and a threaded screw for longevity. Louvers are inserted by hand into machine-drilled slots in the side stiles at precise intervals. The louvers are in a fixed position with space between louvers to promote ventilation.

Pros

+ Can be installed with functional hinges
+ Historically accurate
+ 1.5″ thick shutters
+ Sustainable kiln-dried lumber
+ Solid / Straight / Smooth components
+ Strong and durable
+ Full range of sizes available
+ Unlimited paint colors
+ Can be stained
+ Long life expectancy
+ Free shipping for most sizes

Cons

– Can absorb moisture if the finish is compromised
– Moderately heavy

Width and Height of Bahama Shutters

ShutterLand provides step-by-step measuring for Bahama shutters. Written and video guides make the process simple and straightforward.

Sub-stiles for Bermuda Shutters

Bahama shutters can be made with a hallmark vertical separation that creates multiple horizontal banks of louvers. The partition is called a sub-stile, and it looks similar to the stiles on the left and right sides of the shutter. Wood Bahama shutters require a sub-stile when the width is equal to or exceeds 23.5 inches. As the width increases, multiple sub-styles are necessary.

Bahama Divider Rail

A horizontal divider rail creates a top and bottom louver area. It is an optional feature for wood shutter. Many Bermuda shutters do not utilize a horizontal divider rail because it can disrupt sight lines through the louvers. ShutterLand can manufacture Bermuda shutters with a centered divider rail or at a custom location. For extremely large shutters, a second divider rail can be requested.

One custom divider rail on louvered shutter.Divider Rail (Optional):
Division Point: Measure from the bottom of the shutter to the desired center of the divider rail.
The actual location of the divider rail may be slightly higher or lower than requested. The number of louvers will dictate the final placement.

Bahama Shutter Hinges

Bermuda shutters require specialized installation hardware to operate properly. A silver aluminum hinge runs the full width of the shutter, attaching above the window and to the shutter face. This Bahama hinge suspends the shutter from the top and pivots to allow the bottom to tilt outward. When placing an order, three hinge options are available. The correct selection will be determined during the Bahama shutter measuring process.

Support Arms for Bahama Shutters

Support arms push the bottom of the Bahama shutter away from the window. Those offered by ShutterLand are adjustable to position the shutter at the optimum angle. ShutterLand support arms are sold in three adjustable lengths. Some homeowners construct elaborate DIY support arms in designs like iron scrollwork or whimsical wooden fish.

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).

To figure the support arm length needed, enter the desired shutter height. The length calculated is based on the assumption that the support arm will connect to the base of the window and the bottom of the Bahama shutter.


If the arm is attached higher on both the wall and the shutter, the length will be shorter.

Bermuda Wood Shutter Colors

ShutterLand offers exterior Bahama shutters in a variety of finishes – unfinished, primed or factory-painted. Unfinished shutters are raw wood that require sanding, priming, and two coats of exterior-grade paint to complete. Shutters that have been primed in the factory just need to be sanded and wiped clean before accepting paint. Shutters finished in the factory receive two coats of premium-quality exterior paint and then are shipped ready to install.

The factory paint color options are almost limitless. ShutterLand offers nine standard shutter paint colors that are similar to some of Benjamin Moore’s most popular colors are available in stock. If you prefer a color that is not standard, provide any paint manufacturer name, color name, and color code. We will mix the custom color for a one-time fee of $200 per order. White or light-based colors may require an additional $35 per shutter. The increased amount is applied because light-based colors are more difficult to apply than darker colors, and will be presented for approval before an order is processed.

Manufacturing Time of Wood Bahama Shutters

ShutterLand PVC louvered exterior shutters are manufactured in the United States to your specifications in around 5-7 weeks. After completion, the window shutters are shipped directly to your home, ready to install.
