Homes in Bentonville
Bentonville is a city of houses: of its 24,917 homes, 62% are detached, 5% are townhouses and other attached houses and 32% are apartments or units in buildings of two or more homes.
Much of Bentonville is new: 69% of homes were built 2000 or later, and only 10% before 1980. The median home dates from 2007. 50% of homes are lived in by their owners.
Of the 9 Arkansas cities we have census figures for, Bentonville has the newest homes. Its housing is much like Rogers's, 5 miles away. Nationally, Bentonville's homes are newer than those in 93% of the 881 US cities we have census figures for.

Shallow openings
69% of homes were built in 2000 or later. Newer windows are often set close to the room side of the wall, and handles, cranks and alarm sensors stick out into the space a louver swings through. Measure the depth to the glass and to anything that sticks out; the designer checks it against the louver size you pick.
Rounded drywall corners
90% of homes here were built from 1980 on, and many houses of that era have rounded ("bullnose") drywall corners around the windows instead of square returns. A shutter can't sit flat against a curve: choose an outside mount with a frame that clears the corner, or an inside mount if the flat part of the opening is deep enough for your louvers.
Whole-house orders
With 62% of homes detached, most orders here cover a whole house: bedrooms, a patio door, perhaps a bay. Put every window in one list in the designer so the louver size and colour match from the street, and if you have an HOA, send it the drawings before you order.

Cold winters
With 101 freezing nights a year, warm room air meets cold glass for months. Shutters closed tight overnight hold that air against the window, so condensation can collect on the sill: tilt the louvers open in the morning, and wipe the sill on windows that often run wet.
Humid summers
Hot days and 47.5 inches of precipitation make for heavy summer air. Wood swells when it's humid, so give kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms some air: run the fan after a shower and tilt the louvers open so steam doesn't sit behind them.
