Bahama shutters are becoming more popular in home constructions today, because they are tasteful and practical. They are designed to provide shade, protect the windows of your home and generate a style that is truly unique. When there is a Bahama shutter from Timberlane installed on your window, it will look outstanding and function exceptionally.
A Bahama shutter is a shutter that opens upward instead of outward. It is hinged at the top of the window instead of at the sides and it has folding arms that prop it open, to allow air to enter the home when the weather is pleasant. It can be raised for light or lowered for to protect your windows. The Bahama shutter itself has louvered slats that are set at an angle within the shutter, so when it is in the closed position, the slats form a barrier against the elements, but can still prevent a room from becoming stuffy. When it is fully raised, the slats provide a shade that blocks out direct sunlight.
Even with the Bahama shutter fully closed, the window can be opened and breezes will be able to still cool the house. It is great because they provide protection for your windows but they won’t completely shut off a room from the beauty of the outside. If the Bahama shutter is fully closed, the louvered slats are angled to create privacy and won’t allow people to see inside.
As the name implies, the Bahama shutter originated in the islands, where cool breezes on hot, sunny days were a necessity to keeping a home comfortable. The style has become very popular with many newly constructed homes in the South, where air conditioning can be very expensive because of the heat. Not only is the Bahama shutter functional, they can really make your home look remarkable too.
