Bahama shutters have become one of the most recognizable features of homes along Florida's coastline. Their clean, tropical appearance adds curb appeal while providing dependable hurricane protection and everyday shade.
At Lafferty Hurricane Protection, we install custom hurricane-rated Bahama shutters for homeowners throughout Brevard County and Indian River County. Every system is professionally measured, engineered, and installed to meet Florida's building code requirements while complementing your home's architecture.
Whether you're building a new home, replacing outdated shutters, or upgrading your hurricane protection, we'll help you design a solution that looks great and performs when severe weather arrives.
Bahama shutters are permanently mounted above your windows using a top hinge. During normal weather, they remain open at an angle, providing shade while allowing natural light and airflow into your home.
When a hurricane threatens, the shutters are lowered and securely fastened against the window to help protect the opening from wind and windborne debris.
Unlike removable storm panels, Bahama shutters stay attached to your home year-round, making them one of the most convenient hurricane protection options available.
