Shade outside the glass
With 17 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.
Condos and apartments
38% of homes are in multi-unit buildings, where the outside walls belong to the building. Exterior shutters usually aren't an option there; interior shutters are.
Winter outside
131 freezing nights a year mean ice and snow on anything mounted outside. Interior shutters stay out of the weather entirely and are adjusted from the room.
Counting the openings in a Mississauga home
Aluminum shutters are usually priced per opening. The middle apartment in a building of five or more units has 3 to 5 windows (a US survey; Canada has none by type of home), plus a balcony door.
The median Mississauga home is valued at $900,000 CAD by its owners. Values in Brampton, 14 km away, are close: $900,000 CAD.
