The windows in Woolwich's homes
By age, 23% of Woolwich's homes went up in 1960 or earlier, 24% between 1961 and 1980, 16% between 1981 and 2000 and 38% in 2001 or later.
In Waterloo, 12 km away, 33% of homes are built in 1980 or earlier, 14 points fewer than here.

Deep sills and wide casings
23% of homes are older still (in 1960 or earlier), and older walls are often thicker. A deep opening lets an inside-mounted shutter sit flush with the wall and take the widest 4½ in louvers.
Cranks, handles and shallow frames
In the 38% 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.
How many windows a Woolwich home has
The most common home in Woolwich is a three-bedroom (46% of homes), and the most common kind is a detached house. Nationally, the middle Canadian home has 6 to 10 windows.
With 34% of homes at four bedrooms or more, many orders here run past 10 windows once bedrooms, bathrooms and a patio door are counted. Large homes are more common here than in 67% of the 167 Canadian cities we have figures for. In Waterloo, 12 km away, 28% of homes have four bedrooms or more, fewer than here.
