Control Temperature With Plantation Shutters In Your Home In The Villages
How Windows Can Hurt Your Energy-Efficiency
While you may need your HVAC updated, don’t discount the role that windows have with temperature control in your home. Glass windows are subject to heat loss, meaning that outside air can leak inside and vice versa. The problem is worse with single-pane windows — which are popular in Florida — but heat loss can also occur with double panes.
Faux Wood Plantation Shutters Can Help Control Temperature In Your Home
However, you have to have the right window treatment to get the most energy-efficiency. Plantation shutters can completely encapsulate a window when the louvers are shut, and faux wood plantation shutters do it best. What you want to look for are shutters that have weather stripping on them, like Polywood® plantation shutters from Sunburst. In fact, our shutters are up to 70% more energy-efficient than wood shutters and up to 1600% more energy-efficient than aluminum blinds. And Polywood’s thermal protection blocks up to 30 degrees of airflow that goes through a window and offers over 45% reduction in heat transfer.
Other Benefits Of Polywood Keep Your House Comfortable Longer
Of course, your faux wood plantation shutters help you control the temperature in your home now, but will it be this energy-efficient after six or seven years against the Florida heat? Our Polywood shutters have a lifetime warranty against warping, cracking, or splintering. That means your home will get the same thermostat saving benefits from your plantation shutters decades from now — and they will also look just as nice.
