Bahama Shutters & Awning Hybrids in Dunedin, FL

Bahama shutters do two things no other product can do simultaneously: they provide daily shade and airflow, and they close flat against the window for hurricane protection.

They're the signature architectural element of Gulf Coast Florida. In Dunedin, where coastal style is part of the community's identity, they fit naturally on everything from historic bungalows to newer waterfront construction.

How They Work

Bahama shutters are hinged at the top of the window frame. During normal weather, they prop outward at an angle — typically 45 degrees — using adjustable side arms. This position:

• Blocks direct sun while allowing air circulation beneath the shutter
• Provides privacy from street level while maintaining your view outward
• Creates a coastal architectural detail that enhances curb appeal

When a storm threatens, the arms fold down and the shutter closes flat against the window — providing rated opening protection.

Storm Ratings

Extruded aluminum Bahama shutters can be engineered to meet Florida Building Code requirements and Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) standards for hurricane protection. If your installation qualifies, it may be eligible for wind mitigation insurance credits.

We'll provide documentation for your insurance carrier at the time of installation.

HOA Approval

HOAs in Dunedin and surrounding Pinellas County communities tend to approve Bahama shutters more readily than accordion or roll-down systems. They look intentional — like architecture, not an afterthought. If your HOA requires board approval, we can assist with product photos, specifications, and color samples.
