Peterborough's seasons, indoors
Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. Peterborough's warmest month is July, at an average high of 26.6 °C, and its coldest nights come in January, at an average low of −12.8 °C.
Highs stay at 25 °C or more from July to August: the months when west and south rooms need shade in the afternoon.
Cobourg, 40 km away, has much the same number of days a year at 30 °C or more (10).

Living rooms on winter evenings
169 nights a year fall at or below 0 °C. Closing the shutters after dark puts a layer of still air between the room and the cold glass; open them again in the morning so the window dries out.
Bedrooms on hot summer evenings
With 10 days a year at 30 °C or more, close the louvers on sunny afternoons so the bedroom isn't holding the day's heat at night, then tilt them open for air once the sun is off the glass.
Early light in June
Around the longest day the sun is up for 15 h 32 min here, so east-facing bedrooms get light very early. Full-height panels with the louvers closed keep most of it out; a mounting frame closes the gaps around the edges.
| Feature | What matters | What we suggest |
|---|---|---|
| Bedroom | Darkness, privacy, airflow | Full-height panels, 3½ or 4½ in louvers |
| Living room | View, daylight, glare | Wide louvers, or tier-on-tier on the street side |
| Kitchen | A wipe-clean finish | Painted poplar, café style over the sink |
| Bathroom | Steam and privacy | Painted poplar with a fan, out of shower spray |
