The shutter has two panels that are movably mounted on the frame. The panels are mounted generally parallel to the wall surface and to the frame, and are actuatable along a path of travel between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The shutter includes a first guide member attached to respective upper and lower portions of a window facing surface of each panel and extending substantially along the entire length of each panel; and a second guide member attached to respective upper and lower portions of an outwardly disposed surface of the frame; and extending substantially along the entire length of the upper and lower portions of said outwardly disposed surface of the frame. The guide members have complementary engager parts for slidably engaging each other for moving the panels along the path of travel, the frame defining a closed shape so that when in the closed configuration, the panels substantially enclose the frame.
