Louvers for Broken Arrow
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 Broken Arrow's homes and sun point to different choices.
Here, about 66 days a year reach 90°F. That's more hot days than 66% of the 881 US cities we have climate figures for.
The midday sun climbs to 77° in June and sinks to 31° in December, so the louver angle that blocks it changes with the season.
In Tulsa, 9 miles away, 34% of homes are apartments or condos, 18 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.
Wide louvers for a view
79% of homes are detached houses with larger windows to the yard. 4½ in louvers mean fewer, wider slats and the most view when they're open, if the opening is deep enough for them to tilt.
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
Every Shutter Boys shutter is made from solid American poplar to the measurements you take, then shipped to Broken Arrow for you to fit. Whatever you call them, ours come in all three louver sizes.
