Additional window hardware – such as shutters, blinds, or louvre windows – can also protect us from the harsh sun, but have the added benefit of allowing the calming and delightful ocean breeze to permeate the space. While a dwelling by its very nature is designed to protect us from the elements, we can still feel the sea breeze in our homes. Installing louvre windows to ensure proper ventilation means that our living spaces can become oases of fresh, salty air.
