Sun on the outside
With 13 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.
Freeze and thaw
154 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.
Multi-unit buildings
37% of homes are in multi-unit buildings, whose outside walls aren't the owner's to change. Interior shutters are the option there.
