Bahama Shutters vs. Roll-Up Shutters
Hurricane protection is very important for people living in Brevard County and Indian River County. Two of the best types of hurricane shutters are bahamas and roll-ups. Hurricane shutters are the best way to protect your home from hurricane damage. Johnson Aluminum Products specializes in hurricane protection and has been in the shutter business for 50+ years. Today we will be discussing the difference between bahama shutters and roll-up shutters. Hopefully, this blog post gives you clarity on which type of hurricane shutter works better for your home.
Bahama Shutters
The most beautiful type of hurricane protection is the bahama shutters. Bahama shutters add outdoor home decor and hurricane shutter protection giving you the best of both worlds. These hurricane shutters provide maximum hurricane protection, privacy, sunshade, and beauty to your home. The top-hinge design allows the shutters to deploy with ease making every hurricane season a breeze. Many homeowners like the bahama shutters because they show off a tropical vibe to your home and help cool off the house with the sunshade. If you’re looking for the most aesthetic type of hurricane shutter then bahama shutters are the right type of hurricane protection for you!
Roll-Up Shutters
The most convenient type of hurricane shutter is the roll-ups. Roll-ups are the easiest type of hurricane protection to deploy taking no time and no effort. Every roll-up shutter is powered by an electric motor that is controlled by a wireless remote that deploys up to four shutters simultaneously. We don’t manufacture the roll-up shutters at our warehouse, instead, we get them from Nautilus. The Nautilus Rolling Shutter System is a unique patented design that is top of the hurricane shutter class. These storm shutters undergo large missile impact tests and 20,000 cycle fatigue tests to ensure your hurricane shutter is dependable and reliable. Roll-Up shutters are the most expensive type of hurricane shutter on the market, but really do make every hurricane season a breeze. If you’re looking for a hurricane shutter that takes the least amount of effort then these are the ones for you!
What’s the big difference?
The biggest difference between roll-up shutters and bahama shutters is the aesthetic look and deployment type. Bahama shutters are more aesthetic looking and add outdoor home decor whereas, the roll-up shutters look like normal aluminum hurricane shutters but can hide during the offseason. The roll-up shutters deploy much faster and with no labor at all whereas, the bahama shutters may take a minute with the top-hinge design. If you’re not looking to add home decor and you just want the fastest deploying hurricane shutter then I would go with the roll-ups. If you’re looking to get a hurricane shutter that takes a little longer to deploy but adds outdoor home decor, than I would go with the bahama shutters.
