Shutter BoysInterior shutters in Brantford
Brantford's seasons, indoors
Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. Brantford's warmest month is July, at an average high of 26.6 °C, and its coldest nights come in February, at an average low of −9.2 °C.
Highs stay at 25 °C or more from July to August: the months when west and south rooms need shade in the afternoon.
Brant, 8 km away, has much the same number of days a year at 30 °C or more (15).

Bedrooms on hot summer evenings
With 13 days a year at 30 °C or more, close the louvers on sunny afternoons so the bedroom isn't holding the day's heat at night, then tilt them open for air once the sun is off the glass.
Living rooms on winter evenings
139 nights a year fall at or below 0 °C. 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.
Bathrooms and laundry rooms
In a place with 902 mm of precipitation a year, damp rooms stay damp longer. Wood shutters suit a bathroom with a fan, kept out of shower spray; run the fan so steam doesn't sit behind closed louvers.
