Shade outside the glass
With 18 days a year at 30 °C or more, exterior aluminum louvers or rolling shutters can shade a window before the sun reaches the glass. Inside, tilting wood louvers control light and privacy from the room.
Changes to the outside of a house
Exterior shutters change how a house looks from the street, so a municipality or condo corporation may need to approve them. Interior shutters don't.
Aluminum inside the house
Most aluminum shutters sold today are made for outdoors. Our own aluminum interior shutters are coming in 2027, made for bathrooms and humid rooms, with a wood-look finish and the same moulding levels as our wood shutters. No price until launch.
Counting the openings in a Lincoln home
Aluminum shutters are usually priced per opening. The middle Canadian home has 6 to 10 windows, before patio doors and basement windows.
The median Lincoln home is valued at $695,000 CAD by its owners. In Grimsby, 13 km away, the median is $780,000 CAD, higher than here.

Where our shutters fit
Every Shutter Boys shutter is made from solid American poplar to the measurements you take, then shipped to Lincoln for you to fit. For the inside of your windows, solid poplar is what we sell today; our aluminum interior shutters follow in 2027.
