Living rooms on winter evenings
166 nights a year fall at or below freezing. 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 15 h 52 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.
Street-facing rooms
60% 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.
Room by room in Duluth
The median home in Duluth has 5.5 rooms, and the most common has 3 bedrooms. Most owners start with the bedrooms, then the rooms that face the street.
13% of workers here worked from home in the 2020–2024 survey years.
