The windows in Whitchurch-Stouffville's homes
By age, 10% of Whitchurch-Stouffville's homes went up in 1960 or earlier, 13% between 1961 and 1980, 19% between 1981 and 2000 and 59% in 2001 or later.
In Aurora, 12 km away, the share of built in 1980 or earlier is much the same as here (22%).

Cranks, handles and shallow frames
In the 59% of homes built in 2001 or later, windows are often set close to the room side of the wall, with crank or lever handles. Measure from the glass, or the handle if it sticks out further, to the face of the trim: that depth decides whether you mount inside, outside or on a frame.
Low winter sun through south windows
In December the midday sun is only 23° above the horizon here, so it reaches deep into rooms through south-facing windows. Louvers tilted with the room-side edge up send that light toward the ceiling instead of across a screen or a sofa.
Inside or outside the opening
An inside mount sits within the window opening and looks built in, but it needs enough depth for the louvers to tilt. An outside mount fixes to the wall or casing around the window, which suits shallow openings and hides uneven edges. The designer asks which you want for each window.
| Feature | Inside mount | Outside mount | On a mounting frame |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sits | Within the opening | On the wall or casing | Within or over the opening |
| Needs depth for the louvers | Yes | No | Some |
| Hides an uneven opening | No | Yes | Yes |
| Look | Built in | Framed, like trim | Finished edge all round |
Where our shutters fit
