Well, how much light does it take to kill a vampire? A single photon? And what kind of vampire is it, bc for example Bram Stoker’s Dracula was ok with being outside in daylight.
I’ve seen these covering store fronts in some cities. However, they’re only on the first floor and are usually covered in graffiti. Everywhere else? Maybe, maybe in some beach-front properties, but that’s it.
The vast majority of homes and apartments I’ve lived around (northeastern US) do not have rolling shutters. If there are any shutters at all, they are the kind that goes alongside windows, and are likely to be purely decorative. Older properties may have shutters that were originally designed to close, but most people treat those decoratively too.
Over here - at least in Southern Germany - rolling shutters are the norm. The main reason I imagine is improving energy efficiency because heating is expensive. This is basically what your average multi-story apartment building looks like:
Basically all windows have rolling shutters. The same applies to your average single family home. You might have to zoom in to see the rolling shutters in their opened position:
I think it is more sun protection in the summer, plus they are quite useful for, well, blocking out lights and noise at night. Modern windows are pretty damn energy efficient, and old shutters were drafty as hell.
Unless you’ve got great blackout curtains, you can only ride that thang until the dawn. So… still pretty good!
Who doesn’t have rolling shutters on their windows? Are they not common where you live?
Transdimensional posting hours
Canadian, never seen those except for commercial storefronts. Not once have I seen those on residential buildings.
Its a european thing afaik
no
Not me. Where I live it’s more common to have window blinds, which are okay, but still let a pretty good amount of light in when fully closed

I couldn’t tell you how much light it takes to kill a vampire, but the amount of light coming through my blinds would probably do it
