CHECK OUT OUR LIST OF CONSIDERATIONS AND
CHARACTERISTICS OF EXTERIOR SHUTTERS
Considerations
- If you are in the design stage, we
suggest you plan for the installation by insuring there
will be clear space for the Colonial shutters on each
side of an opening.
- If you are purchasing high-quality
windows, the impact-approved glass can be considered in
lieu of any additional storm shutter product. Keep in
mind, though, the glass can break if struck by debris
during a storm and is expensive to replace. The Bahama
Shutter when used as a decorative product over windows
with impact glass will receive additional protection
that may prevent the damage to even impact glass.
- All manner of custom shapes such as
arches or angles or curves are possible with colonial
style shutters.
- Obstructions such as exterior lights
should be considered when evaluating an opening for
surface mount installation. Remember the Colonial style
shutter needs space to the side of each opening for the
panels.
- Decorative banding around a window or
door using non structural products may require special
installation steps.
- Lap-style siding in vinyl or wood
creates a non-smooth surface may require additional
installation techniques.
