Louvers for Tinley Park
California shutters and plantation shutters are the same thing: panels of wide, tilting louvers fitted to the window. What sets one apart from another is mostly the louver size, and Tinley Park's homes and sun point to different choices.
Here, about 16 days a year reach 90°F. That's fewer hot days than 76% of the 881 US cities we have climate figures for.
The midday sun climbs to 72° in June and sinks to 25° in December, so the louver angle that blocks it changes with the season.
In Orland Park, 4 miles away, the share of apartments or condos is much the same as here (22%).

Wide louvers for a view
55% of homes are detached houses with larger windows to the yard. 4½ in louvers mean fewer, wider slats and the most view when they're open, if the opening is deep enough for them to tilt.
When in doubt, 3½ in
The middle size suits most windows and most depths, and it's the one most homes here would choose. The designer checks your depth against the louver you pick.
| Feature | 2½ in | 3½ in | 4½ in |
|---|---|---|---|
| View when open | Least | More | Most |
| Louvers per panel | Most | Fewer | Fewest |
| Depth needed to tilt | Least | More | Most |
| Suits | Small or shallow windows | Most windows | Large, deep windows and doors |
Where our shutters fit
Every Shutter Boys shutter is made from solid American poplar to the measurements you take, then shipped to Tinley Park for you to fit. Whatever you call them, ours come in all three louver sizes.
The designer shows the price of each window as you add it, in US dollars.
