Cold glass

A big glass door is the coldest surface in the room on a winter morning, and moisture condenses on it. Open the louvers on cold days so warm air reaches the glass, and wipe off any condensation before it reaches the wood.

Older door openings

62% of homes are decades old, and older door openings settle. Measure the width at the top, middle and bottom; a mounting frame gives the track a straight line to run on.

How to measure

Afternoon sun

12 days a year reach 30 °C. Louvers tilted up block high sun while still letting you see out, which a curtain or vertical blind can't do.
