The Bermuda (or, Bahama) shutter style dates back to the epoch of British Colonialism when the British set up plantation outposts in Bermuda. Today, Bermuda shutters are installed on a wide variety of homes, and can complement many architectural styles.
The chief advantages of the Bermuda shutter style are protection from weather and climate control. Because they can be opened and closed so quickly, they are good choices for homes in storm-prone climates. They can be shut in advance of a storm to protect your home's windows. Our Bermuda shutters feature vents, or louvers, in the shutter body. These slim wooden slats encourage air circulation - a treat on a stifling summer day. You can prop your Bermuda shutters at various angles, as well, to control airflow into your home.

The Saint George - This classic style consists of two long columns of solid wood louvers set inside pure wood frames. The Saint George is a very versatile shutter style and offers excellent ventilation to your home interiors.
