The windows in Moncton's homes

By age, 21% of Moncton's homes went up in 1960 or earlier, 25% between 1961 and 1980, 23% between 1981 and 2000 and 31% in 2001 or later.

In Riverview, 5 km away, the share of built in 1980 or earlier is much the same as here (49%).

Deep sills and wide casings

21% of homes are older still (in 1960 or earlier), and older walls are often thicker. A deep opening lets an inside-mounted shutter sit flush with the wall and take the widest 4½ in louvers.

Choosing a louver size

Low winter sun through south windows

In December the midday sun is only 20° above the horizon here, so it reaches deep into rooms through south-facing windows. Louvers tilted with the room-side edge up send that light toward the ceiling instead of across a screen or a sofa.

Wide windows split into sections

40% of homes are apartments or condos, where windows are often wide. A wide opening is split into several panels joined by T-posts at the window's own mullions, so the shutter lines up with the glass behind it.
