Bedrooms on hot summer evenings
With 57 days a year at 90°F or more, close the louvers on sunny afternoons so the bedroom isn't holding the day's heat at night, then tilt them open for air once the sun is off the glass.
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.
