Homes in Dieppe
Dieppe has an unusually large share of semi-detached and row houses: 22% of its 11,570 occupied homes, beside 48% detached houses and 26% apartments.
Much of Dieppe is new: 56% of homes were built 2001 or later, and only 19% in 1980 or earlier. 69% of homes are lived in by their owners.
Of the 5 New Brunswick cities we have census figures for, Dieppe has the newest homes. In nearby Moncton, 9 km away, 46% of homes were built in 1980 or earlier, so Dieppe's windows are on the whole newer. Nationally, Dieppe's homes are newer than those in 94% of the 167 Canadian cities we have census figures for.

Shallow openings
56% of homes were built in 2001 or later. Newer windows are often set close to the room side of the wall, and handles, cranks and alarm sensors stick out into the space a louver swings through. Measure the depth to the glass and to anything that sticks out; the designer checks it against the louver size you pick.
Semis and row houses
22% of homes share a wall with the next one. Their front windows face the street side by side with the neighbours', so many owners pick a louver size and a white or off-white finish that sit well beside the houses on either side. Bay windows on semis usually need a separate panel set for each face.
A whole house in Dieppe
The most common home in Dieppe has three bedrooms: 38% of homes. 25% have four bedrooms or more, and 8% have one or none. Homes average 6.5 rooms.
Detached houses are the most common kind of home here. Across Canada, the middle home has 6 to 10 windows (NRCan, 2007). Shuttering that many windows at a typical bedroom-window size comes to roughly $2,700 to $5,700 CAD. For scale, that's about 1.7% of the median home value here, $250,000 CAD (owners’ estimates, 2021).

Price your own windowsOne room at a time
Homes here cost less than in 96% of the 167 Canadian cities we have figures for, and many owners do a house in stages. Start with the rooms where light and privacy matter most, usually bedrooms and the street-facing front, and keep the same louver size and colour so later rooms match. Your saved design keeps every size.
Working from home
25% of workers here worked from home on census day in May 2021, during the pandemic, more than in 69% of the 167 Canadian cities we have figures for. Glare on a screen comes from direct sun and bright sky behind or beside it. Louvers tilted up throw daylight at the ceiling instead, so the room stays bright and the screen stays readable; wider louvers give the clearest view when you open them.

Cold winters
With 170 days at or below freezing a year, warm room air meets cold glass for months. Shutters closed tight overnight hold that air against the window, so condensation can collect on the sill: tilt the louvers open in the morning, and wipe the sill on windows that often run wet.
Humid summers
Hot days and 1,203 mm of precipitation make for heavy summer air. Wood swells when it's humid, so give kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms some air: run the fan after a shower and tilt the louvers open so steam doesn't sit behind them.
