Colonial shutters in Carteret County.
Walk the historic blocks off Beaufort's Front Street and you'll see why louvered shutters never go out of style on this coast. Shade Coast builds aluminum colonial shutters that carry that heritage look across Carteret County — powder-coated against salt air, and hinged to swing shut and latch when weather pushes in off the Atlantic.

Heritage looks, modern materials.
Wood shutters struggle here — the humidity off Bogue Sound and years of salt spray mean warping, rot, and a repaint every few seasons. Shade Coast's colonial shutters deliver the same traditional louvered silhouette in aluminum, with stainless steel fasteners and a powder-coated finish that keeps its color and swings true no matter what the Crystal Coast weather does.
Mounted on hinges at either side of the opening, colonials close and secure ahead of a storm to give windows an extra layer of defense — then fold back to frame the glass the other eleven months. Several blade profiles let you match the shutter to the age and style of your home, from a Down East farmhouse to new construction in Cedar Point.
- Thin Z-Blade Colonial — a slim 2" frame with a classic thin louver, ideal for cottages and traditional facades.
- Low-Profile Tubular Blade — a clean 2¼" tubular louver that reads crisp and contemporary on newer construction.
- Solid Impact Blade — a heavier blade tested to ASTM-E1886, E1996, and Missile Level D for added debris resistance, available in any RAL color.
