Everyone knows that windows are one of the biggest sources of heat gain and loss in your home. The right window treatment can save you energy and money.
We offer top-tier energy saving
window treatments in Gainesville. Our Polywood® Shutter Insulating System has excellent thermal resistance, the best reduction of heat transfer, and offers the most energy efficiency of all the window treatments in the industry. And, when paired with Solar Gard window film,
Polywood shutters are your best choice for the highest savings on your energy bills.
The Polywood Shutter Insulation System
The most energy-efficient window treatment is shutters. And our
Polywood shutters, with their advanced insulation system, are the best energy saving
shutters in Gainesville – if not the United States.
We construct every part of our Polywood Shutters, keeping energy efficiency in mind to give you the most energy savings. The specialty solid polymer material Polywood is composed from can block airflow because of its density. This results in shutters that are a natural insulator. Polywood shutters block more light and temperature than any other shutter because of their patented weather stripping on the sides of each shutter panel. This effectively limits heat transfer around the panels in both the heat of summer and the cold of winter in Gainesville. Top that off with a heat-reflective paint, and you get a shutter that is not only beautiful but also remarkably energy efficient. In fact, Polywood shutters insulate up to 70% better than an equivalent wood shutter.
A third party thermal test (forward looking infrared) showed that the Polywood Shutter Insulating System blocked as much as 30 degrees of temperature coming through the window. This means the HVAC system doesn’t have to work as long.
Here’s how Polywood brings you more energy savings than any other shutter:
-
Blocks Air Flow. Polywood’s thermal protection blocks up to 30 degrees of airflow that goes through a window.
-
Maximizes R-Value. Polywood has an R-Value of over 6 in a double-pane window. That’s the highest thermal resistance rating of insulation material of any shutter you can find.
-
Reduces Heat Transfer. Polywood offers a 45.96% reduction in heat transfer.
-
Improves Energy Efficiency. Polywood is up to 70% more energy efficient than wood shutters and up to 1600% more energy efficient than aluminum blinds.
-
Resists Moisture and Humidity. Since Polywood is moisture-proof, it resists humidity and moisture that can impact the temperature of a room.
