Saying goodbye to the office and heading to the beach is a staple of American summers. While you’re taking your scenic drive to the beach town of your choice, you may notice the streets lined with cute beach homes complete with exterior shutters.
In fact, you might be hard pressed to find a home without them.
Beach homes have exterior shutters to help protect the windows from the elements. Being so close to the water, these homes are more exposed to the decay from their environments. Functional shutters with the proper hardware can help delay weathering to windows and window trim.
So which exterior shutter style are you considering for your beach house?
You might want Bermuda shutters if…
Your home is in a tropical climate or right next to the water. Think Bermuda (obviously), Florida or even Texas! You can pair them with louvers for your other windows too.
You might want Board and Batten shutters if…
You’ve got a coastal cottage style beach home. Think Northern Atlantic homes in Martha’s Vineyard all the way down to Myrtle Beach.
