Multi-unit buildings
41% 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
24% of homes are from before 1950. 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 66 days at 90°F 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.
