Langford's seasons, indoors

Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. Langford's warmest month is August, at an average high of 20.7 °C, and its coldest nights come in February, at an average low of 3.6 °C.

Saanich, 10 km away, has much the same number of days a year at 30 °C or more (3).

Early light in June

Around the longest day the sun is up for 16 h 7 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 18 min of daylight here. Open the louvers fully, or swing the panels back, to let every hour of it into the room.

Children’s rooms

Shutters have no cords. In Canada, corded window coverings have been regulated since May 1, 2021, and in the US the Consumer Product Safety Commission tells families to choose cordless window coverings.
