The windows in Bonita Springs's homes

Half of them are older than 1998, which is the age of window you're most likely measuring here.

Sun almost overhead in summer

At midday in June the sun stands 87° high here, nearly overhead, so south windows take little direct sun at noon; east and west windows take the most, early and late. Choose louver sizes for those first.

Choosing a louver size

Cranks, handles and shallow frames

In the 44% of homes built in 2000 or later, windows are often set close to the room side of the wall, with crank or lever handles. Measure from the glass, or the handle if it sticks out further, to the face of the trim: that depth decides whether you mount inside, outside or on a frame.

How to install

Wide windows split into sections

34% of homes are apartments or condos, where windows are often wide. A wide opening is split into several panels joined by T-posts at the window's own mullions, so the shutter lines up with the glass behind it.
