Louvers for St. Albert
Plantation shutters and California shutters are the same thing: panels of wide, tilting louvers fitted to the window. What sets one apart from another is mostly the louver size, and St. Albert's homes and sun point to different choices.
Here, 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.
The midday sun climbs to 60° in June and sinks to 13° in December, so the louver angle that blocks it changes with the season.
In Edmonton, 14 km away, 33% of homes are apartments or condos, 18 points more than here.

Wide louvers for a view
70% of homes are detached houses with larger windows to the yard. 4½ in louvers mean fewer, wider slats and the most view when they're open, if the opening is deep enough for them to tilt.
When in doubt, 3½ in
The middle size suits most windows and most depths, and it's the one most homes here would choose. The designer checks your depth against the louver you pick.
| Feature | 2½ in | 3½ in | 4½ in |
|---|---|---|---|
| View when open | Least | More | Most |
| Louvers per panel | Most | Fewer | Fewest |
| Depth needed to tilt | Least | More | Most |
| Suits | Small or shallow windows | Most windows | Large, deep windows and doors |
Where our shutters fit
Every Shutter Boys shutter is made from solid American poplar to the measurements you take, then shipped to St. Albert for you to fit. Whatever you call them, ours come in all three louver sizes.
