Shutter BoysZebra blinds or shutters in Florence-Graham?
Florence-Graham's homes and windows
Zebra blinds are a roller blind with two layers of striped fabric, sheer and solid, that slide past each other to let light in or block it. In Florence-Graham, where 27% of homes are apartments or condos and 53% are detached houses, they compete with shutters for the same windows.
The year runs from 0 freezing nights to 25 days at 90°F or more, so whatever covers the window works in both seasons.

In a house you’re staying in
53% of homes are detached houses, mostly owner-occupied (37% overall). Shutters are fixed to the house and usually stay when it sells; zebra blinds are usually replaced once the fabric or the roller wears out.
Cords and chains
Zebra blinds usually raise with a chain or cord, or a motor. Shutters have no cords at all. Canada has regulated corded window coverings since May 1, 2021.
