All You Need To Know About Louvres From California Shutters

The benefits of interior window shutters are undeniable. From blocking out the sun to improved sound exclusion, homeowners can get a lot out of this investment. However, before making the jump, they must consider one important aspect of the shutter – its louvre. 

 

Louvres are the horizontal slats that give shutters the style and functionality they are known for. Understanding how they work can help you make better choices when getting shutters from California Shutters – Toronto’s top custom window coverings provider. Let us tell you everything you need to know about our louvres.

 

 

What Are Interior Louvres? 

 

The adjustable horizontal slats of window shutters that either let light and air in or keep them out are known as their louvres. Made of wood, they let you control privacy and the influx of loud noises as well. 

 

You can adjust them by tilting their position, which allows you to: 

 

• Control the amount of natural light that enters a room
• Keep privacy intact while letting light and air in
• Improve indoor ventilation 

 

Louvres are an integral part of window shutters. They are, in fact, its defining characteristic. 

 

 

How To Choose The Right Window Shutter Louvre Size 

 

California Shutters’ louvres come in various sizes. Homeowners can choose between standard sizes, which are small, medium, and large. That said, the dimensions of a louvre can affect its performance. 

 

• Smaller louvres: Great for maintaining privacy. They offer a more traditional, classic look.
• Larger louvres: These let in more light and air while lending a modern look to most homes. 

 

For Toronto homes, we recommend larger louvres for living rooms because they let more light in; and smaller louvres for bedrooms as they offer greater privacy.
