@Greybirchdesigns Together With Sunburst Shutters ®

When looking for a window treatment to block heat loss, your best bet is with quality faux wood plantation shutters. Unlike other window treatments -- like blinds or shades -- plantation shutters use a frame that encapsulates the window and prevents air from leaking out from the edges. Then the large louvers block a great deal of heat loss when closed shut.

Of course, the true energy-efficient connoisseur knows you need quality, solid faux wood to get the most from your shutters. Polywood® shutters are constructed from a solid polymer material that is engineered to reduce heat flow through the glass panes by 46% and blocks as much as 30 degrees of temperature difference from coming through your windows. Polywood® shutters even come with interlocking weatherstripping to seal any gapping between the panels.

Whether it’s keeping your home warm in the winter or cool in the summer, Polywood® works better than any other window treatment. In fact, Sunburst’s Polywood® shutters are up to 70% more energy-efficient than wood shutters and up to 1600% more energy-efficient than aluminum blinds. The faux wood is also moisture-resistant, meaning that its energy-efficient properties won’t diminish by any warping or cracking.
