Bathrooms and laundry rooms

In a place with 1,538 mm of precipitation a year, damp rooms stay damp longer. Wood shutters suit a bathroom with a fan, kept out of shower spray; run the fan so steam doesn't sit behind closed louvers.

Bathroom shutters

Early light in June

Around the longest day the sun is up for 16 h 15 min here, so east-facing bedrooms get light very early. Full-height panels with the louvers closed keep most of it out; a mounting frame closes the gaps around the edges.

How dark shutters get

Short winter days

In December there are only 8 h 11 min of daylight here. Open the louvers fully, or swing the panels back, to let every hour of it into the room.
