What installing involves
Roller shutters mount outside with a housing above the window, and motorized ones need power to each window. Interior shutters fix inside the opening with a drill and a screwdriver.
Apartments and condos
32% of homes are in multi-unit buildings, where anything on the outside wall needs the building's approval. Interior shutters don't.
Darkness and privacy
Closed, a roller shutter makes a room close to dark, with no view. Wood shutters let you choose: tilt for daylight with privacy, close for more, open the panels for the full view.
