BAHAMA MEASUREMENT GUIDELINES:
SHUTTER HEIGHT: Functional Aluminum Bahama Continuous Hinge Shown is optional and is included in the height you choose for your shutter. Please take this into consideration when determining what height to order your shutters.
The standard wall mount hinge extends approximately 2" above the height of your shutters and is included in the shutter height you choose.
The ceiling mount hinge extends approximately 1/2 inch above the shutter and is included in the height you choose for your shutter.
When deciding what height to order your shutters you should determine the point above your window you want the shutter to reach at the top of the hinge. If you do not have any obstructions above the window we would recommend you measure up approximately 2” to 3” above the top of your window. If you have a flat window trim above the window we would usually measure from the top of your window trim down to the point you want the bottom of the shutter and order your shutters that height. Please NOTE that these are general recommendations and will not suit every situation, please use your common sense and order appropriately but make sure the shutter extends above the window enough to mount the hinge into a solid surface.
BAHAMA WIDTH: If you are using holdout arms on your shutters the width you choose should be wide enough so the arms will be installed on the window trim or siding. That means you will need to add some amount to the shutter width beyond the actual window size. In general if you are going to use arms installed behind the shutter you should add at least 3” to the window width, that will give you 1.5” past the window on each side to install the arm bracket on the house or trim. If you are going to use arms mounted at the side of the shutter (which would generally be my choice) you could probably get by adding a little less.
QUALITY: American Aluminum Bahama Storm Rated Louver Shutters are constructed to withstand most weather conditions, and our quality powder coat finish protects against humidity, sunlight, and harsh weather conditions.
Bahama Shutter Maintenance:
• Wash shutter and any tracks and arms with soapy water. Rinse with clean water twice yearly, or more often in coastal or high corrosion (salt) areas. • Lubricate threaded areas on bolts, the hinges and fasteners with a dry silicone spray.
NOTE: American alumimum shutters are made for you after you place your order. Since they are custom and made to your specifications they cannot be returned or exchanged and the order cannot be canceled once the order is in production.
Price Range: From $113 each
