Is Your Home Too Hot?
Windows, and the gaps around, them are notorious for passing temperature through them. In summer, windows do little to keep you cool and in winter they do even less to keep you warm. While double-glazed windows are a huge help in energy savings, they're expensive and can cost upwards of $15-25,000 to cover your home and sliding doors (there's not much use covering a window in the same room as a huge sliding glass door is there?)
All three of our roller shutter products are excellent at keeping your winter heat and summer air con in. While the shutters themselves may get warm, the insulated core and two separate walls keep the majority of exterior temperature from getting in.
Yes, we have a foam filling inside the shutter that is designed to maximise your energy savings.
The answer is: it depends.
For maximum energy savings, yes you would want to cover every window, of course. But in most homes there are windows with a greater chance or habit of passing your energy through. If you have a sliding door and want to lock it down in the winter or you have a few older windows in your home that seem to "leak" the cold air in, cover those windows first and see how much difference the shutters make.
