Early light in June
Around the longest day the sun is up for 16 h 14 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.
Bathrooms and laundry rooms
In a place with 1,160 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.
Short winter days
In December there are only 8 h 12 min of daylight here. Open the louvers fully, or swing the panels back, to let every hour of it into the room.

| Kitchen | A wipe-clean finish | Painted poplar, café style over the sink |
| Bathroom | Steam and privacy | Painted poplar with a fan, out of shower spray |
