Outdoor Window Shutters

The outdoor window shutter first appeared in ancient Greece as a type of temperature-control mechanism. In this period of history, heavy marble shutters were attached to the outside of Greek houses in an effort to regulate extremely hot temperatures and provide a respite from blinding sunlight. Through the centuries, the concept of an outdoor window shutter spread across the Mediterranean region, through Europe and eventually to America. Modern selections are most often made from wood, vinyl or aluminum and provide privacy, protection from the elements and a decorative look to many styles of houses.

Outdoor Window Shutters Protect From Sun and Rain

One of the main purposes of functional outside choices is to protect houses from sun, wind and rain. South Florida Aluminum offers a selection of shutters that protect homes from harsh sunlight, storm damage and inclement weather. Our Bahama Shutters make an attractive choice that is decorative as well as functional for the outdoors. Bahama panels hinge above your window and open upwards.

For the most serious protection, especially for those living in the Gulf Coast region, consider our Accordion storm panels. These aluminum panels meet Florida Building Code standards for hurricane protection and can help make storm preparation less stressful.

At South Florida Aluminum, we also carry a full line of decorative shutters, including:

• Arch top
• Batten
• Colonial
• Cottage style
• Fixed louver

Customers residing outside of our installation area are invited to take advantage of our build-and-ship program, which delivers custom-made shutters to your front door.
