What Is a Bahama ClearView Shutter?
The Bahama ClearView is a top-hinged aluminum Bahama (Bermuda) shutter whose angled louvers are spaced for maximum outward visibility. It keeps direct sun off the glass while you look out and down between the louvers, so you get shade, privacy from the street and airflow without giving up your view. It props open on adjustable support arms and closes flat over the window.
ClearView is designed for the windows you actually look out of: a water view off the living room, a pool deck, a golf course or a second-floor bedroom facing the yard. It is one of four Bahama styles made by 1800Awnings, alongside ShadeView, DecoView and the decorative FauxView.

Bahama ClearView Price by Size (2026)
These are the complete standard-size prices for one Bahama ClearView shutter. Each price is per shutter, not per pair.

What Drives Bahama ClearView Shutter Cost?
Height Matters More Than Width
Adding 12" of height raises the price by roughly $240–$270, while adding 12" of width adds only about $86–$91. For example, a 24" × 36" ClearView is $852; going taller to 24" × 48" is $1,096 (+$244), but going wider to 36" × 36" is only $938 (+$86). If you are choosing between sizes, measure height carefully first.
Larger Shutters Cost Less per Square Foot
A 24" × 36" shutter covers 6 square feet at about $142 per sq ft. A 36" × 60" covers 15 sq ft at about $97 per sq ft, and a 48" × 72" covers 24 sq ft at about $74 per sq ft. Fabrication and hardware costs are partly fixed, so bigger windows get better value per square foot.
Custom Sizes and Finishes
Standard widths are 24", 36" and 48", but ClearView is built to order, so custom sizes are available. All 35+ in-house powder-coat colors and the woodgrain finish are offered on ClearView. Call 1-800-AWNINGS for a custom-size quote.
Permits and Engineering
Many Florida jurisdictions, including parts of the Tampa Bay area, require a permit for exterior shutters. If your building department asks for engineering, add a signed and sealed letter through Extra Services for $350 (standard) or $500 (expanded).
Bahama ClearView vs. ShadeView vs. DecoView: Price Comparison
ClearView is the least expensive of the three working Bahama styles. Here is how the same sizes compare:
| Size (W × H) | ClearView | ShadeView | DecoView |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24" × 36" | $852 | $946 | $1,012 |
| 36" × 48" | $1,184 | $1,315 | $1,407 |
| 36" × 60" | $1,452 | $1,613 | $1,725 |
| 48" × 60" | $1,541 | $1,712 | $1,831 |
| 48" × 72" | $1,782 | $1,979 | $2,117 |
ClearView saves $94–$197 per shutter versus ShadeView and $160–$335 per shutter versus DecoView. Choose ShadeView when heat on west- and south-facing glass is the main problem, DecoView when bedroom or bathroom privacy matters most, and ClearView when you want to keep your view at the lowest price. For blank walls, the decorative FauxView is $70 per square foot.
Example Project Costs

Why the Bahama ClearView Stands Out
You Keep the View
ClearView louvers are spaced for outward visibility, so waterfront, golf-course and pool views stay visible from inside while direct sun is stopped before it hits the glass.
Shade That Cuts Heat Gain
Blocking sun outside the window is the most effective way to reduce heat gain and glare. ClearView lets in more daylight than ShadeView, so rooms stay shaded without feeling dark.
Privacy From the Street
From outside, the angled louvers mostly block the view into the room, while you can still see out from inside.
Built in Tampa for Florida Weather
ClearView is all aluminum with a powder-coat finish, so it won't rust, rot or need painting. Rinse with a hose to clean, even in salty coastal air.
Lowest-Priced Working Bahama Shutter
Starting at $852, ClearView gives you the traditional Bahama look and real sun control for less than any other functional style we make.
Who Is the Bahama ClearView Best For?
- Waterfront and view-lot homeowners in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota and across Florida who want shade without blocking the outlook.
- Pool-home owners who want to watch the deck from the kitchen or living room.
- Budget-conscious buyers who want a working Bahama shutter at the lowest price.
- Living rooms and kitchens that need shade but should stay bright.
- Mixed-style projects pairing ClearView on living areas with DecoView on bedrooms and FauxView on blank walls.
How to Order a Bahama ClearView Shutter
- Measure the window width and height (outside of trim) and choose the closest standard size, or note a custom size.
- Go to the Bahama ClearView product page and select width and height.
- Pick your powder-coat or woodgrain color.
- Add an engineering letter from Extra Services if your permit requires one.
- Check out, or call 1-800-AWNINGS (296-4647) for custom sizes and multi-window quotes. Shutters ship in about 2–3 weeks.
