Insulated Shutters
Plantation shutters are an excellent choice for homeowners looking to improve energy efficiency, preventing heat loss by more than 50% with their built-in insulation. Well-fitted insulated shutters reduce heat loss due to the additional thermal layer acting as a barrier between the room and the window. These shutters are designed to provide superior insulation, helping to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature year-round. But what are the benefits of insulated shutters?

Reasons To Consider Insulated Shutters
- Energy Savings: Insulated shutters can reduce heat loss during the winter and block out up to 90% of solar heat during the summer. This translates into significant energy savings and a lower carbon footprint.
- Improved Comfort: By maintaining a consistent indoor temperature, insulated shutters enhance your home’s comfort levels. They eliminate drafts and cold spots, making your living spaces more enjoyable throughout the year. This impact is even more significant on single-glazed windows.
- Cooling Effect: If you are looking to keep a sun-facing room cool, plantation shutters are a great way to block and reflect the heat.
- Noise Reduction: In addition to thermal insulation, plantation shutters also provide sound insulation. They help reduce outside noise, creating a quieter and more peaceful indoor environment.
