What is the difference: Bahama vs. Bermuda shutters?
Bahama and Bermuda shutters are the same thing. They may also be referred to as Caribbean shutters.
Do they provide shade?
Yes. Bermuda shutters are a popular choice of hurricane shutter in Southwest Florida because they also provide shade for your home. They are able to do this because of the position of the shutters over your windows. Their position allows them to reduce and deflect sun and UV from entering into your home while still allowing air flow.
Do they help with heat?
Yes. They help with heat because they reduce the amount of UV and sun entering the home (they provide shade). They are able to do this because of their position on the window.
Can you see out of Bahama shutters?
Yes. You can see out of them, but visibility is limited. This is because the shutters go over your windows. How much you can see out of them will vary based on the angle of the shutters, the opening between the individual blades, and the specific shutter product you have.
What purpose do Bermuda shutters serve?
They help provide storm protection, shade and UV control. They also look attractive vs other kinds of hurricane shutters. So they can help improve the look of your home. Find out more about the benefits of Bahama style shutters.
How much do they cost?
Bahama style shutters are a premium style of hurricane shutter. This is because they are viewed as very attractive, highly functional and very easy to use.
You should expect to pay around $33 – $50 per SQFT as a rough estimated cost. Please take this cost range as an estimate as the cost varies from project to project.
