Shutter BoysInterior shutters in Fort Collins
Fort Collins's seasons, indoors
Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. Fort Collins's warmest month is July, at an average high of 87.4°F, and its coldest nights come in January, at an average low of 18.3°F.
Highs stay at 80°F or more from June to August: the months when west and south rooms need shade in the afternoon.
Loveland, 9 miles away, has 38 days a year at 90°F or more, more than Fort Collins's 29.

Living rooms on winter evenings
150 nights a year fall at or below freezing. Closing the shutters after dark puts a layer of still air between the room and the cold glass; open them again in the morning so the window dries out.
Street-facing rooms
52% of homes are detached houses, where front rooms face the street. Tier-on-tier panels let you close the lower half for privacy and open the top for daylight.
Early light in June
Around the longest day the sun is up for 15 h 5 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.
| Feature | What matters | What we suggest |
|---|---|---|
| Bedroom | Darkness, privacy, airflow | Full-height panels, 3½ or 4½ in louvers |
| Living room | View, daylight, glare | Wide louvers, or tier-on-tier on the street side |
| 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 |
