volet type persienne IDF

French to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
List of things for project to extend detached house in a Département in the Parisian suburbs.

"Paire de volet bois type persienne IDF 1000x2150mm"

volet type persienne I translate as "louvred shutter". I'm suspecting that IDF could potentially stand for "Ile-de-France". Are the shutters in Ile-de-France characteristic in some way that differentiates them from those in other parts of France?
Proposed translations (English)
3 IDF louvred shutter

It may be some kind of a building code in Ile de France; the city wants a harmonized look. I know there are regulations about renovations in my suburb (sorry no time to look this up)...

Or it may refer to a style, like "Hausmannien" buildings in Paris. If there is some big renovation project, you will see that they have totally gutted the inside, but left the facade because it's considered as a historical landmark.

IDF louvred shutter

I think it might be a company name.

neutral polyglot45 : Surely IDF stands for Ile-de-France and means shutters typical of the Paris region?
