A Bahama ShadeView shutter costs $946 to $1,979 per shutter in 2026, depending on size. The smallest option (24" wide × 36" tall) is $946 and the largest (48" × 72") is $1,979. Every ShadeView is made to order in our Tampa, FL factory from powder-coated aluminum and ships free to the 48 contiguous states, usually in 2–3 weeks. This guide gives you the complete Bahama ShadeView price-by-size table, multi-window budget examples, and the factors that move your final number.
What Is a Bahama ShadeView Shutter?
The Bahama ShadeView is the classic Bahama shutter, built first for shade. It hinges at the top of the window and props out at the bottom on adjustable or fixed support arms. Its aluminum louvers block direct sun while letting filtered light and air through. It is the shutter most Florida homeowners put on west- and south-facing windows, where afternoon sun heats rooms and fades floors.
ShadeView also works on faux windows and open walls when you want a working shutter's depth and shadow line. Because it is aluminum with a powder-coat finish, it will not rust, rot, or need painting.

Bahama ShadeView Price Guide by Size
Prices below are per shutter and come straight from the live Bahama ShadeView product page as of November 2026.
| Height ↓ / Width → | 24" wide | 36" wide | 48" wide |
|---|---|---|---|
| 36" tall | $946 | $1,042 | $1,139 |
| 48" tall | $1,217 | $1,315 | $1,412 |
| 60" tall | $1,513 | $1,613 | $1,712 |
| 72" tall | $1,780 | $1,881 | $1,979 |
The pattern: height drives price more than width. Going from 36" to 72" tall adds roughly $830–$840 at any width. Going from 24" to 48" wide adds only about $193–$199 at any height. If you are choosing between a wider or a taller shutter, width is the cheaper way to add shade coverage.
Budget Examples: Pricing a Whole-House Project
| Project | Shutters | Total |

What Affects the Final Price of Bahama ShadeView Shutters?
Size
Size is the biggest factor, as the table shows. Measure each opening before you order, because every shutter is made to order and all sales are final.
Finish: Powder Coat or Woodgrain
ShadeView comes in 35+ in-house powder-coat colors, and woodgrain finishes are available. Finish choices can change the final price, so confirm your color or woodgrain option when you order.
Adjustable or Fixed Arms
Adjustable arms let you change the angle through the seasons and lower the shutter over the window. Fixed arms hold one set angle for a clean, permanent look. Choose the arm style that fits how you will use the shutter.
Shipping and Lead Time
Shipping is free to the 48 contiguous states, so there is no freight line to add to your budget. Plan on about 2–3 weeks for fabrication.
ShadeView vs. Other Bahama Shutters on Price
ShadeView is the pick when heat is the problem. If you would rather keep a clear view out, ClearView costs a little less and is easier to see through. For decoration only, FauxView is the budget option. See all four side by side in the Bahama shutter cost guide.
Who Is the ShadeView Best For?
- Tampa and Florida homeowners with west- or south-facing windows that overheat in the afternoon.
- Rooms where glare and UV fading of floors and furniture are the main problem.
- Homes, restaurants, resorts, and storefronts that want the traditional Bahama look.
- Coastal properties that need a finish that will not rust or rot in salt air.

A Bahama ShadeView shutter costs $946 to $1,979 per shutter in 2026. The 24" × 36" size is $946 and the 48" × 72" size is $1,979. Shipping to the 48 contiguous states is free.
What is a Bahama ShadeView shutter?
It is a top-hinged aluminum louvered shutter that props out from the top of a window on support arms. It blocks direct sun, cuts glare and heat, and still passes filtered light and air. It is the shade-first member of the Bahama shutter family from 1800Awnings.
How does a ShadeView shutter reduce heat?
It stops sunlight outside the window before it reaches the glass. The louvers block direct sun but let in filtered light and airflow. That makes it most useful on west- and south-facing windows in Florida.
Can I choose adjustable or fixed arms?
Yes. Adjustable arms let you change the angle through the seasons and lower the shutter over the window. Fixed arms hold one angle for a clean, permanent look.
Can I use ShadeView on a faux window or open wall?
Yes. ShadeView works on faux windows and open walls when you want a working shutter's depth and shadow line. If you only want decoration, FauxView is the lower-cost option.
How long does it take to get Bahama ShadeView shutters?
Typical lead time is 2–3 weeks because every shutter is made to order in our Tampa factory. Orders ship free to the 48 contiguous states. Custom orders are final sale, so measure carefully.
Will ShadeView hold up in salt air?
Yes. It is all aluminum with a powder-coat finish, so it will not rust, rot, or need painting. Rinse it with a hose to clean it.
Does ShadeView come in woodgrain?
Yes. Woodgrain is available through our in-house sublimation process, along with 35+ powder-coat colors.
The Bottom Line
The Bahama ShadeView runs $946 to $1,979 per shutter, and height is what moves the price most. For about $1,300 you can shade a typical 36" × 48" west-facing window with a rust-proof aluminum shutter that ships free and needs only a hose to keep clean.
If heat and glare are your main problem, ShadeView is the Bahama shutter built for the job. Measure your openings, pick your arm style and finish, and order direct from the Tampa factory that makes them.
