New Braunfels's seasons, indoors

Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. New Braunfels's warmest month is August, at an average high of 94.6°F, and its coldest nights come in January, at an average low of 36.9°F.

Highs stay at 80°F or more from May to October: the months when west and south rooms need shade in the afternoon.

San Marcos, 16 miles away, has much the same number of days a year at 90°F or more (117).

Bedrooms on hot summer evenings

With 117 days a year at 90°F or more, close the louvers on sunny afternoons so the bedroom isn't holding the day's heat at night, then tilt them open for air once the sun is off the glass.

Bedroom shutters

Street-facing rooms

68% of homes are detached houses, where front rooms face the street. Tier-on-tier panels let you close the lower half for privacy and open the top for daylight.

Plantation shutter styles

Living rooms on winter evenings

32 nights a year fall at or below freezing. Closing the shutters after dark puts a layer of still air between the room and the cold glass; open them again in the morning so the window dries out.
