Window shutters in Weston

Shutters made to fit the windows in Weston's homes: how old they are, how to measure them, and whether to mount inside or outside the opening.

The windows in Weston's homes

By age, 0% of Weston's homes went up before 1950, 7% between 1950 and 1979, 68% between 1980 and 1999 and 25% in 2000 or later.

Half of them are older than 1995, which is the age of window you're most likely measuring here.

In Pembroke Pines, 7 miles away, 23% of homes are built before 1980, 16 points more than 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

Inside or outside the opening

An inside mount sits within the window opening and looks built in, but it needs enough depth for the louvers to tilt. An outside mount fixes to the wall or casing around the window, which suits shallow openings and hides uneven edges. The designer asks which you want for each window.
