Freeze and thaw

159 freezing nights a year put anything outside through freeze and thaw. Exterior shutters need materials and fixings made for that; interior shutters never see it.

Sun on the outside

With 10 days at 30 °C or more, functional exterior shutters that close over the glass can keep sun off it. Decorative ones that don't close only frame the window.
