Bahama shutters, also known as bermuda shutters, have been used in the hot, wet climates of the southeastern United States and tropical regions for a long time. They are especially popular in coastal areas prone to sudden gusty rainstorms and hurricanes because of the extra protection of windows from flying debris. They are easily and quickly dropped when needed. In these days of outsourcing so many of our consumer goods to other countries, it is refreshing to find a company that is manufacturing products in the USA and using American raw materials to do it. Window shutters from Sunbelt Shutters are made right here and use wood from managed forests of California redwood, Southern yellow pine, and Western red cedar.
