Bahama | Colonial Shutters

Bahama Shutters – Are permanently attached over window openings only. When not in use for protection, the shutters are held by horizontal arms at an outward angel permitting views through the spacing between the slats. They are deployed by unfastening the arms, rotating the shutter down to cover the window and locking them into place. Bahamas require more effort to install than Rolldown or Accordion shutters and are limited in the size and type of window openings for which they can be used. They can give your home a unique look and a Key West feel while providing shade and hurricane protection at the same time. There are 20 standard color options.

Colonial Shutters – The hurricane-approved version of the decorative wooden shutters commonly found on homes. The shutters are hinge-mounted to each side of the window or door. Curved panels can be built to accommodate arched openings. During deployment, the colonial shutters are swung into position over the openings and locked with either clips or storm bars. Colonials are limited in the width of the opening for which they can be used. They can give your home a traditional style reminiscent of New England, Charleston & New Orleans, while providing Hurricane protection at the same time. There are 20 standard color options.

Customer Reviews

RollShield has a decades-long reputation for excellence in the Tampa Bay area. See what our customers have to say about us.

"This was our second home using RollShield. Our sales person was James and he got everything started for us. The items we wanted were verified and ordered in a timely manner. When everything was ready our installers arrived, removed the old awnings and completed the installation. Due to our construction they made an on site modification and that section came out perfect. Clean up was exceptional. I apologise for not having their names but I know they were from Albania. We would also like to mention and thank Emma, Kashana and our punch list guy Ron Branch . Thank you to all."

"I had an excellent experience with this company for my hurricane protection needs! Jane May provided outstanding service, demonstrating extensive product knowledge and offering a variety of solutions and options to suit my home. The service was top-notch, the product is high-quality, and the workers did an impeccable job with the installation. The communication from the office was also great, keeping me informed every step of the way. Highly recommend!"

"We needed a service call on shutters installed by a different company probably 25 years ago. Donnie and Josh were on time and I immediately knew that Donnie had been doing this for a long time. He did a little engineering on site and got our old shutters working again! We will be making an appointment to get some new ones made for the front windows which were never protected. Very satisfied!"

"Experience from start to finish with JANE was professional and enjoyable- It’s refreshing having women in these careers. She was up front about lead times which I appreciated. Coming from a service field as well, I understand most of the process is out of the estimators control. I had impact windows installed just in time before the hurricanes start. Not only do I feel safer, my house looks sooo much better!! Thank you thank you!"

"RollShield did a great job installing hurricane shutters on four of our windows. Ron Branch made an excellent impression. He went out of his way to make a special trip to get our installation finalized on time. These are high quality, lockable shutters that can protect against hurricanes and intruders. This is a great addition to a house for both protection and to increase value. Highly recommended."

"Very satisfied with Company performance.
The salesman -Pete- gave us several options for Hurricane screens. We decided to go with Crimsafe Safescape Hurricane screens. The installers - Giliyar and Aaron- were professional and fast( hint - give them a raise). Emma, Pat, Gwen were a big help guiding with permits, schedules, answering questions, etc. Would definitely use Rollshield, LLC again."

Yelena S.

"I had 5 shutters installed late last year. The installation was great, and everything works as advertised, with no callbacks for any installation issues. My salesperson, Jane May, helped throughout the entire process, even when the HOA was being picky, all the way to the end."

John K.

"We have relied on Rollshield for over 15 years, having installed their roll-up and hurricane shutters on our home, and they have performed flawlessly through numerous near-miss hurricanes. Their products have stood the test of time and weather, giving us confidence and peace of mind. So, when my wife and I recently decided to add Kevlar hurricane curtains to our lanai, it was an easy decision to turn once again to Rollshield. Although there were some initial miscommunications, the Sales Manager handled the situation promptly and professionally, ensuring everything was resolved to our satisfaction. The installation team did a fabulous job, professional, efficient, and timely. We are pleased with the final result and continue to trust in the quality and service Rollshield provides. I strongly recommend Rollshield for all your shutter and storm protection needs."
