Louvers for Fort Erie
Plantation shutters and California 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 Fort Erie's homes and sun point to different choices.
The midday sun climbs to 71° in June and sinks to 24° in December, so the louver angle that blocks it changes with the season.
In Port Colborne, 14 km away, 21% of homes are apartments or condos, 8 points more than here.

Wide louvers for a view
83% 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 Fort Erie for you to fit. Whatever you call them, ours come in all three louver sizes.
