Toronto's weather and homes
In Toronto, July averages a high of 27 °C and January a low of −6.7 °C, about 14 days a year reach 30 °C, 101 nights fall at or below 0 °C, and 823 mm of precipitation falls in a typical year. That's drier than 66% of the 160 Canadian cities we have climate figures for.
23% of homes are detached houses; 58% were built in 1980 or earlier.
Richmond Hill, 16 km away, gets much the same rain and snow in a year.

Multi-unit buildings
65% of homes are in multi-unit buildings, whose outside walls aren't the owner's to change. Interior shutters are the option there.
Older facades
29% of homes are from 1960 or earlier. On an older facade, exterior shutters are often about the look of the street; check any heritage rules before changing them. Interior shutters change nothing outside.
Sun on the outside
With 14 days at 30 °C or more, functional exterior shutters that close over the glass can keep sun off it. Decorative ones that don't close only frame the window.
Counting the openings in a Toronto home
Exterior 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.
58% of homes here were built in 1980 or earlier. Older facades often have trim and sills that decide what fits outside.
