Metairie's seasons, indoors
Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. Metairie's warmest month is July, at an average high of 91.4°F, and its coldest nights come in January, at an average low of 46.1°F.
Highs stay at 80°F or more from May to October: the months when west and south rooms need shade in the afternoon.
Kenner, 5 miles away, has much the same number of days a year at 90°F or more (85).

Bedrooms on hot summer evenings
With 85 days a year at 90°F or more, close the louvers on sunny afternoons so the bedroom isn't holding the day's heat at night, then tilt them open for air once the sun is off the glass.
Bathrooms and laundry rooms
In a place with 68.4 inches of precipitation a year, damp rooms stay damp longer. Wood shutters suit a bathroom with a fan, kept out of shower spray; run the fan so steam doesn't sit behind closed louvers.
Street-facing rooms
61% 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.
| Feature | What matters | What we suggest |
|---|---|---|
| Bedroom | Darkness, privacy, airflow | Full-height panels, 3½ or 4½ in louvers |
| Living room | View, daylight, glare | Wide louvers, or tier-on-tier on the street side |
| Kitchen | A wipe-clean finish | Painted poplar, café style over the sink |
| Bathroom | Steam and privacy | Painted poplar with a fan, out of shower spray |
