Shutters are one of those European things that just don't exist in the US. Maybe a few old farmhouses and a very small number of high end houses.

I wanted shutters on our house, but finding a window system in the US that gives you both screens and shutters is quite expensive.

Meanwhile, my first place in Switzerland had shutters but there were no screens and it was out in the country where mosquitoes were voracious
