Condos and apartments
65% 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.
Shade outside the glass
With 14 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.
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 Toronto 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 Toronto home is valued at $900,000 CAD by its owners. In Richmond Hill, 16 km away, the median is $1,200,000 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 Toronto for you to fit. For the inside of your windows, solid poplar is what we sell today; our aluminum interior shutters follow in 2027.
