Homes in Tecumseh
Tecumseh is a city of houses: of its 8,950 occupied homes, 81% are detached, 11% are semi-detached and row houses and 8% are apartments or units in buildings of two or more homes.
The 1980s and 1990s built 48% of today's homes, more than any other period we count. 40% are older than that and 12% newer. Owners live in 89% of homes.
In nearby Windsor, 9 km away, 68% of homes were built in 1980 or earlier, so Tecumseh's windows are on the whole newer. Nationally, Tecumseh's homes are newer than those in 57% of the 167 Canadian cities we have census figures for.

Whole-house orders
With 81% of homes detached, most orders here cover a whole house: bedrooms, a patio door, perhaps a bay. Put every window in one list in the designer so the louver size and colour match from the street.
Bought to stay
Owners live in 89% of homes, and shutters are usually bought to stay with the house. Poplar takes paint well, so they can be repainted years from now if you change a room's colours. Keep your order list: it records every size if you add a room later.

Summer sun
On the 24 days a year above 30 °C, closed louvers keep direct sun off the glass and out of the room. In a window that takes afternoon sun, white and light paint finishes stay cooler to the touch than dark stains.
