Mount Prospect's seasons, indoors

Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. Mount Prospect's warmest month is July, at an average high of 84°F, and its coldest nights come in January, at an average low of 18.4°F.

Highs stay at 80°F or more from July to August: the months when west and south rooms need shade in the afternoon.

Des Plaines, 3 miles away, has much the same number of days a year at 90°F or more (17).

Living rooms on winter evenings

122 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

57% 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.

Plantation shutter styles

Early light in June

Around the longest day the sun is up for 15 h 15 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.
