Rain on the outside

1,649 mm of rain a year is hard on exterior finishes, which need repainting or replacing on a schedule. Shutters inside the window stay dry.

Sun on the outside

With 11 days at 30 °C or more, functional exterior shutters that close over the glass can keep sun off it. Decorative ones that don't close only frame the window.

Multi-unit buildings

31% of homes are in multi-unit buildings, whose outside walls aren't the owner's to change. Interior shutters are the option there.
