Polywood Shutters Provide a Year Round Insulation Solution  

 

Polywood Interior Shutters will Save You Big on Monthly Home Energy Costs

 

By Mark J. Donovan

Windows are notorious net energy losers. Up to as much as 50% of the heat loss from a home comes from its windows. Every additional window you include in your home addition or new home construction plans, the higher your monthly home energy costs will be. Eliminating windows from your building plans may not be an option, but one thing you can do to reduce window heat loss is to incorporate Polywood shutters into your home building plans. Polywood shutters are interior shutters that are installed over the windows to significantly mitigate window energy loss by effectively providing additional insulation around the window.

They are constructed out of a solid resin material that helps to block airflow through them and the windows they cover.

Polywood interior shutters also provide aesthetics to the home. Polywood shutters are made out of a synthetic material that mimics wood in appearance. Besides providing additional beauty to your home’s interior, they’re also much more affective in window insulation than any other window treatment including shades, blinds, and other interior wood shutter products.

Polywood shutters are also ideal for summer months. They help to reduce the amount of ultraviolet sunlight that enters the home, thus keeping the home cooler and protecting furniture and carpet fabrics from fading in color. Also, because they are not made from real wood products they will not warp, crack, fade, or peel over time.


So before accepting just window weatherstripping and window wraps to prevent window heat loss this coming winter take a look at Polywood interior shutters. They’re affordable, easy to install, provide aesthetic value, and will most certainly reduce your home energy bills.
