Sun and homes in Edmonton

Edmonton's warmest month, July, averages 23.5 °C, and about 4 days a year reach 30 °C. That's fewer hot days than 80% of the 160 Canadian cities we have climate figures for.

13% of homes date from 1960 or earlier, 39% from 2001 or later, and owners live in 64% of them.

St. Albert, 14 km away, has much the same number of days a year at 30 °C or more (4).

Cold winters

A stain sinks into the wood instead of forming a layer on top, so a stained shutter moves with the seasons just as a painted one does. Keep winter humidity reasonable and both finishes stay sound.

Stain in newer homes

In newer homes with painted trim, a stained shutter becomes the one warm, wood-grain piece in the room. A dark stain on flat moulding reads modern; a lighter one on moulded frames, more traditional.
