Winter outside
111 freezing nights a year mean ice and snow on anything mounted outside. Interior shutters stay out of the weather entirely and are adjusted from the room.
Condos and apartments
50% of homes are in multi-unit buildings, where the outside walls belong to the building. Exterior shutters usually aren't an option there; interior shutters are.
Shade outside the glass
With 74 days a year at 90°F or more, exterior aluminum louvers or rolling shutters can shade a window before the sun reaches the glass. Inside, tilting wood louvers control light and privacy from the room.
Counting the openings in a Provo home
Aluminum shutters are usually priced per opening. The middle apartment in a building of five or more units has 3 to 5 windows, plus a balcony door.
The median Provo home is valued at $467,200 by its owners. Values in Orem, 4 miles away, are close: $472,300.
