PVC IS BEAUTIFUL

While Expanded Cellular PVC readily accept paints and stains, it comes in a crisp, semi-matte white finish. Its profile is white throughout, and it’s protected with UV inhibitors, making it resistant to fading or yellowing over time. And, with sealed edges, they are easier to clean even if it does get dirty.

PVC IS WORKABLE

Craft a work of art with materials that are easily milled, shaped, and molded using modern production tools. PVC can be routed and cut without chip outs, fastened close to edges without splits, and can easily be trimmed using standard woodworking tools. They’re also easy to install, saving you time and labor costs.

PVC IS DURABLE

With our PVC products, you can feel confident your products will provide years of beauty. Cellular PVC offers superior dent and scratch resistance and is moisture and insect resistant as well. PVC’s rigid make-up offers great protection and is suitable for ground and masonry contact. By following the recommended paint guides for PVC, it is ideal for interior and exterior applications.

PVC IS UNIFORM

Expanded PVC products are created from a high-density, rigid plastic-like material. It is rolled and pressed out into a form that can then be cut, drilled, machined, nailed, glued, and screwed just like wood, or metal.. It has superior screw and staple retention. The end result is a strong, low maintenance product.

Awning Style

It is common to install Bahama shutters to project over just the top portion of the window. Some believe the optimum “awning style height” of a Bahama shutter is 2/3 of the window. In truth, the best height depends on the reason for installation. Functionality and appearance both factor into the determination. We suggest cutting a piece of cardboard to the approximate size and holding it over the window at the desired angle to simulate the look. The same ratio will likely be used for all windows on the property (deduct 0.5” for clearance if planning for the shutter to nest inside the opening).

Frequently Asked Questions

Have another question? Ask us

What's the difference between outdoor shades and Bahama shutters?

Outdoor shades are roll-down fabric or screen systems, best for blocking sun and glare on a patio or lanai while keeping the space open when not in use. Bahama shutters are hinged, angled panels mounted over windows, offering a fixed architectural look along with storm protection. Many homeowners use both: shades for living spaces, Bahama shutters for windows.

Can outdoor shades hold up in Florida's humidity?

Yes. Our outdoor shades use weather-resistant materials designed to resist moisture damage, mildew, and fading, built specifically for the coastal Florida climate rather than adapted from indoor products.

Are motorized outdoor shades worth it?

For most patios, yes. Motorized shades let you adjust shade and privacy without walking over to a manual pull, which matters most on larger openings or hard-to-reach spans. It’s a convenience upgrade more than a necessity, but it’s one of our most requested options.

Do you install outdoor shades in Bradenton and Sarasota?

Yes. We install outdoor shades, patio shades, and Bahama shutters throughout Bradenton, Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Longboat Key, and the surrounding areas. Schedule a free consultation to get a custom quote for your patio or lanai.
