What installing involves
Roller shutters mount outside with a housing above the window, and motorized ones need power to each window. Interior shutters fix inside the opening with a drill and a screwdriver.
Darkness and privacy
Closed, a roller shutter makes a room close to dark, with no view. Wood shutters let you choose: tilt for daylight with privacy, close for more, open the panels for the full view.
Counting the openings in a Oshawa home
Roller shutters are usually priced per opening. The middle Canadian home has 6 to 10 windows, before patio doors and basement windows.
23% of workers worked from home in May 2021. A roller shutter is fully up or fully down; louvers inside let light in without glare on a screen. In Whitby, 9 km away, 35% worked from home, more than here.
