Looking to create a statement with your Florida house? Not feeling the “same-old” options that are common in Southwest Florida? If you are looking to be different, be bold, and be unique then custom shutters are a must. In this case study we provide an example of how custom shutters can help you achieve your design goals and set your house apart from your neighbors. For this project in Saint James City we installed some bold, custom, EUREX SHUTTERS PTX™ Bahama shutters for this homeowner. And we think they look awesome!

What are custom shutters and why choose them vs standard shutters
In the world of both hurricane shutters and decorative shutters there are standard shutters and then there are custom shutters.
Custom shutters, like those by Eurex Shutters, are made specifically to the specifications of your property (vs standard sizes that may or may not fit). So instead of buying standard shutters from a big box store and making them fit, your shutters are custom made for your home (or business). In addition, custom shutters allow you to pick your options so your shutters suit your needs exactly. One of those options is color.
To be clear, not every type of shutter gives you the option to pick a color. Many come in a range of standard colors or color combinations. However, Bahama shutters are completely customizable. You can have them powder coated basically any color on earth. In turn, you have a lot of freedom to pick shutters that meet your exact design goals.
Bahama Shutters and Half Bahama Shutters: Both Customizable
There is no need to sacrifice hurricane protection for good looks. EUREX SHUTTERS PTX™ Bahama Shutters are hurricane-rated shutters, and are even available in HVHZ approved versions. Because they are decorative hurricane shutters, they will protect your home and look great!
If you already have impact windows or are looking for decorative shutters then half-Bahama shutters may be a great fit. Half-Bahama shutters are also very customizable. But you should note that the half-window versions are not hurricane shutters, and they do not provide hurricane protection. They are purely decorative shutters by nature meant to “look good”.
If you live in a coastal area of Florida, like this home in Saint James City/Pine Island, you can use them in combination with impact windows and doors. This is always our recommendation as protection is first priority around these parts. Combining them with impact glass will allow you to protect your home and family. At the same time you will be adding that decorative statement (along with some shade) to your property.
This combination offers good looks and protection. How can you go wrong?
This Homeowner Went Bold
We absolutely love it when a client goes outside of the ordinary. And this installation definitely accomplished that. But wow, did the end result turn out great!
The homeowners took the opportunity to pick out their perfect color for their new Half-Bahama Shutters. This color is bright, and in our opinion it screams tropical, waterfront, and coastal. And that is exactly the beauty of custom shutters. You can create the exact look you are trying to accomplish.
These custom and unique shutters took this pretty basic looking house and transformed it into something that truly stands out and grabs attention.
As you can see in the images below the end result is one cool, coastal home!
