The Colonial Shutters are nearly the same as the Bahama Shutters in that they are just as attractive to look at than the standard aluminum hurricane panels. They also work the same as the Bahama shutters in keeping the potentianly dangerous winds and flying debris from entering your home or business.
Colonials are the new and improved edition of the wooden shutters that we see on homes. Colonials are also made out of aluminum and are hinged onto the side of windows to swing inward and outward.
