Freeze and thaw
108 freezing nights a year put anything outside through freeze and thaw. Exterior shutters need materials and fixings made for that; interior shutters never see it.
Multi-unit buildings
54% of homes are in multi-unit buildings, whose outside walls aren't the owner's to change. Interior shutters are the option there.
Rain on the outside
49.5 inches of rain a year is hard on exterior finishes, which need repainting or replacing on a schedule. Shutters inside the window stay dry.
