Install Shutters and Save Money

These days, we are all concerned about constantly rising utility bills and it has become increasingly important to look at additional methods, such as energy saving window shutters, to try to reduce them. We know the importance of loft and wall insulation and double glazing, but there is so much more that we can learn about and do with regards to how to reduce heat loss in our home and workplace. Every day we read about energy saving tips, but very often windows and doors are overlooked - but these holes in the insulated walls of your building are the cause of the majority of loss of the heating you have paid for.

U-values give an indication as to how much heat is being lost by any object, the lower the U-value the more energy efficient the object is. Taking the normal type of double glazed windows that most of us have in our homes and businesses, the U-value will be around 2.9. The addition of an internal blind will reduce this to 2.1, so giving a 30% improvement. However, if internal energy saving window shutters are installed, this will give a U-value of an incredible 1.9.

 

SHUTTER THERM energy saving shutters are an innovative combination of stylish bespoke louvred shutters with a discreet 25mm Honeycomb Cell pleated blind integrated within the shutter frame between the shutters and the window.The energy efficiency created by the honeycomb structure naturally traps air, helping to keep the room warmer during the winter months and cooler during the milder summer periods. The insulating design helps you feel more comfortable and saves money on energy bills as well as providing increased sound insulation and an almost total blackout in rooms. SHUTTER THERM is available with louvred or solid panel shutters and the integrated Honeycomb Cell pleated blind comes in a choice of 15 fabric choices.
