Shutter BoysInterior shutters in Brandon
Brandon's seasons, indoors
Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. Brandon's warmest month is August, at an average high of 25.1 °C, and its coldest nights come in January, at an average low of −21.9 °C.
Highs stay at 25 °C or more from August: the months when west and south rooms need shade in the afternoon.

Living rooms on winter evenings
205 nights a year fall at or below 0 °C. 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.
Early light in June
Around the longest day the sun is up for 16 h 21 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.
Bedrooms on hot summer evenings
With 9 days a year at 30 °C 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.
