Darkness and privacy
Closed, a roller shutter makes a room close to dark, with no view. Wood shutters let you choose: tilt for daylight with privacy, close for more, open the panels for the full view.
Counting the openings in a Silver Spring home
Roller shutters are usually priced per opening. The middle apartment in a building of five or more units has 3 to 5 windows, plus a balcony door.
27% of workers worked from home. A roller shutter is fully up or fully down; louvers inside let light in without glare on a screen. In Wheaton, 4 miles away, 20% worked from home, fewer than here.
