Condos and apartments
37% 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.
Winter outside
64 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.
Aluminum inside the house
Most aluminum shutters sold today are made for outdoors. Our own aluminum interior shutters are coming in 2027, made for bathrooms and humid rooms, with a wood-look finish and the same moulding levels as our wood shutters. No price until launch.
Counting the openings in a Newport News home
Aluminum shutters are usually priced per opening. The middle detached house has 10 to 15 windows, before patio doors and basement windows.
The median Newport News home is valued at $260,600 by its owners. In Hampton, 12 miles away, the median is $245,700, lower than here.
