Louvers for Innisfil

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 Innisfil's homes and sun point to different choices.

Here, about 9 days a year reach 30 °C. That's fewer hot days than 59% of the 160 Canadian cities we have climate figures for.

The midday sun climbs to 69° in June and sinks to 22° in December, so the louver angle that blocks it changes with the season.

In Barrie, 12 km away, 26% of homes are apartments or condos, 21 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

90% 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.

Choosing a louver size

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.
