Florida Keys and Key West Shutters
Exterior shutters in Key West and Florida Keys
 The Florida Keys are world-renowned for the tropical climate, friendly atmosphere,
and unique architecture. For generations, an eclectic mix of
artists, writers, musicians and world leaders have made Key
West and surrounding Keys a temporary or permanent home. A large part of the charm
of the Florida Keys is the visual appeal of the distinctive homes and
buildings.
 The past few decades have seen increased restoration of many of the historic homes in the
Old Town district of Key West. A stroll through Old Town reveals nearly
every home utilizes exterior shutters. All of the Key West shutters
are made of solid wood, and many have been in place for over
a century. The colors and styles are mostly consistent with
Caribbean shutters.
 Exterior shutters in the Florida Keys are as important in function as they are in appearance. Because insects
are of a lesser concern in the Florida Keys, an open house is a valid option. Foremost, exterior shutters in the Florida Keys provide defense
from tropical storms that often threaten homes in the
area. Outdoor shutters are operable so homeowners can quickly close
them in inclement weather. Closed louvered shutters on a typical day allow air to circulate
through out the house while preventing the intense tropical sun from entering the building. Often homes in the Keys do not have interior window coverings, so outside shutters also provide privacy. A majority of exterior shutters are multi-functional with
moveable louvers that can be rotated to adjust the amount of light, privacy, and ventilation.
 Homes in the Florida Keys are an eclectic mix of Bahamian and Victorian styles. The combination of bright colored homes accented with beautiful wood exterior shutters defines the crisp, tropical look that distinguishes the Florida Keys and Key West.
