Selecting your options:

Height and Width (w/ mullion information)

How to Measure for Bahama Shutters:

  • Width: Measure the width of your window opening, then add 2 inches to either side to allow clearance for the support arms.
    Example: If your opening is 50", order width should be 54".
    Note: Make sure the Bahama shutter will still fit with the extra width added for the arms.
  • Height/Projection: Measure from the top of the mounting area to where you want the shutter to reach. This includes the flange height, not just the shutter panel.

  • Watch tutorial here.

Automatic Mullions:

If your width exceeds 48 inches (4ft), a vertical mullion (support bar) is automatically added to reinforce the panel and prevent sagging.

Maximum Dimensions:

  • Height: up to 72 inches (6ft)
  • Width: up to 96 inches (8ft)

Tip: These shutters are custom-made to fit your space — accurate measurements ensure a perfect fit and proper function.

Color Options

Choose from four durable powder-coated finishes:

  • White: Clean and classic, great for a bright exterior.
  • Black: Bold and modern, ideal for high-contrast designs.
  • Beige: Neutral and soft, blends well with most home palettes.
  • Grey: Sleek and contemporary, complements stone, metal, or cool-toned exteriors.

Arm Lengths

Purpose: Supports the shutter in its open position. Pick based on how far you want the shutter to extend outward.

  • 12-24" Shallow projection, ideal for smaller windows or limited space.
  • 18-35" Standard projection, balances shade and airflow.
  • 36-59" Deep projection, maximizes shade and dramatic look.

Tip: Longer arms provide more shade but may require more clearance.
