Bahama shutters in Charleston.
Few shutters look more at home on a Charleston facade than the top-hinged Bahama. Also called Bermuda shutters, they prop open over the window to throw shade and add privacy while delivering that unmistakable Lowcountry coastal character. Shade Coast builds every set from aluminum with stainless hardware — and offers hurricane-rated louver options for storm-zone homes.
Coastal
Character
Iconic top-hinged styling that suits Charleston cottages and beach homes.
Aluminum
& Stainless
Powder-coated aluminum with stainless fasteners for salt-air durability.
Hurricane-Rated
Option
High-visibility fixed-louver models are available impact-rated.
Built for the Lowcountry look.
Hinged at the top and angled outward, Bahama shutters shade the glass from the harsh Charleston sun, soften interior glare, and add privacy while still letting the breeze through — and they look gorgeous doing it. Every Shade Coast set is built from powder-coated aluminum with stainless steel fasteners throughout, so the finish holds up to salt air on the barrier islands. Choose your blade profile and color, and pick the arm style that fits how you want to use them.
- Thin Z-Blade — a slim, classic louver on a 2¼" × 1½" frame, with telescoping or fixed arms (decorative, non-rated).
- 2" Low-Profile Blade — tubular louvers on a 2¼" × 1¼" frame for a refined, low-relief profile (telescoping or fixed arms, non-rated).
- High-Visibility Fixed Louvers — a 2" × 2" frame with telescoping arms, available as a hurricane-rated shutter for storm-zone openings.
- Color your way — a wide range of standard powder-coat colors, plus any RAL custom color for an added charge.
- Built to order — sized for windows, porches, and patios across Charleston and the surrounding islands.
