Whats The Most Energy Efficient Window Treatment?
Your windows and doors are a leading culprit of heat loss for your home. They can account for hundreds or even thousands of dollars in energy costs throughout the year. Luckily, it’s easy to reduce heat loss by choosing the right window treatments to cover your windows and your glass doors.
Polywood Shutters Are Designed For Optimal Energy Efficiency
As seen in the video above, Polywood® plantation shutters are the leading energy-efficient window treatment on the market. Each component is built with energy efficiency in mind, while still retaining its aesthetic appeal.
One of the primary ways for windows and doors to transfer heat is through glass panes. Window treatments such as blinds or thin shades aren’t built to keep the heat out or in. Polywood shutters are constructed from a solid polymer material that is brilliantly engineered to reduce heat flow through the glass panes by 46% and blocks as much as 30 degrees of temperature from coming through your windows. Whether you’re trying to keep out the winter chills or summer heat, your shutters will keep your home pleasant and reduce your utility bills.
Another way for windows to lose or gain heat is through small leaks in the window frame between the glass and the window. Most window treatments don’t close at the edges and air is able to escape through the sides.
Polywood shutters come with interlocking weatherstripping to seal these gaps and give you a tight fit over your windows. The weatherstripping is easy to operate and close.
Polywood Shutters Save You Money On Energy Costs
Everyone hates a hot or cold house, including your HVAC system. When windows let in too much heat or cold, your heating and cooling system has to work overtime, and you pay for all that energy consumption. Polywood shutters help keep your interior temperature stable, giving your furnace and AC a break. They also help reduce your energy use, which means lower utility bills!
