Louvers for Sunrise Manor
California shutters and plantation shutters are the same thing: panels of wide, tilting louvers fitted to the window. What sets one apart from another is mostly the louver size, and Sunrise Manor's homes and sun point to different choices.
Here, about 142 days a year reach 90°F. That's more hot days than 96% of the 881 US cities we have climate figures for.
The midday sun climbs to 77° in June and sinks to 30° in December, so the louver angle that blocks it changes with the season.
In Paradise, 8 miles away, 59% of homes are apartments or condos, 26 points more than here.

Tilting against the sun
On hot days, tilt the louvers so the room-side edge points down: high sun bounces off the slats while you still see out below them.
Narrower louvers for smaller windows
In the 33% of homes that are apartments or condos, windows are often narrower or set in shallow frames. 2½ in louvers suit a small window and need the least depth.
When in doubt, 3½ in
The middle size suits most windows and most depths, and it's the one most homes here would choose. The designer checks your depth against the louver you pick.
| Feature | 2½ in | 3½ in | 4½ in |
|---|---|---|---|
| View when open | Least | More | Most |
| Louvers per panel | Most | Fewer | Fewest |
| Depth needed to tilt | Least | More | Most |
| Suits | Small or shallow windows | Most windows | Large, deep windows and doors |
Where our shutters fit

The designer shows the price of each window as you add it, in US dollars.
