How does your home get cold in winter?

A home that is always freezing during winter might seem unwelcoming, but why does it always seem so chilly? There are several reasons for it. For instance, it could be that the wall and windows of the property are not properly insulated, or that they have gaps around or under them. Insufficient insulation can cause hot air to escape, while letting the cold air come in.

We all agree that windows play an important role in every home as they are the reason that rooms look well-lit and remain well-circulated. While they let sunlight and a fresh breath of air enter the home, at the same time, they act as a pathway for heat to transfer outside during winters. This can make your home feel especially drafty and cold near windows and eventually all throughout. Enter roller shutters, an energy-efficient way to block cold air during winters.

Now you may have heard several things about roller shutters and you may be thinking, “do roller shutters really block out heat, or do roller shutters really keep heat in”? That is the beauty of roller shutters! They do what you want according to the changing seasons!

Get insulated window shutters to prevent heat loss

The experts at Ultimate Shutter have specially designed roller shutters that let you control the transfer of heat in or out of your home. These aluminium roller shutters reduce a majority of the heat lost through the surface of the windows.These insulated window shutters are made of interlocking slats and the slats are injected with Polyurethane foam. This same foam is used as the insulating material in refrigerators and freezers as well. When the roller shutters are installed over the windows and fully shut, they completely cover the glass and form an extremely effective layer of insulation preventing most of the surface heat loss. At the same time, they also create a more airtight layer around the window, preventing the warm air from escaping through any cracks and crevices in the window frame. Ensuring that the cold and hot air don’t sneak out through either.

And the best part about roller shutters is, during summers you don’t need to think, “do roller shutters block out heat”. Because they do. In summer, if fully shut they block the sunlight and keep the hot air outside your home. And if you happen to use air-conditioning roller shutters also keep that cool air-conditioned air inside as well. So much so that you can temperature control your home to be up to 15 degrees cooler or warmer than the outside, as desired.
