Wood Shutters, A beautiful solution for year round Energy conservation

Winterizing your home to save on energy bills does not always have to be a seasonal hassle, or one that is repeated year after year. An important way to start preparing for winter weather is to properly insulate your windows, a common escape route for warm air inside your house.

In the past, homeowners have relied on inconvenient and temporary winterizing methods such as unsightly weather stripping, bulky extra insulation, and other less attractive techniques to keep the winter cold outside and the wanted warmth inside. These are quick fixes that need to be updated again and again.

According to the National Association of Home Builders, windows are one of the largest sources of heat loss in the winter due to their low insulating ability and high air leakage rates. As a result, windows are typically net energy losers, and can be responsible for losing 25 to 50 percent of the energy used to heat and cool homes.

All structural building materials, with millions of tiny air cells trapped within its cellular structure provide a barrier against heat and cold. An inch of wood is 15 times as efficient an insulator as concrete, 400 times as efficient as steel and 1,770 times as efficient as aluminum. So homes built with wood require far less energy to heat and cool, thus conserving fuel.

One of our customers in Brampton had this to say about their large master bedroom windows,
"Our bedroom faces the street, so we have two problems, street lights and noise. Since our shutters have been installed, when we have the louvers closed, we have noticed a significant reduction to the sounds of traffic outside and total darkness.”

Wood shutters bring value and energy savings to your home all year-round. At the same time they offer UV protection during the summer months helping to keep your home cool from the sun’s rays. By making the initial investment for interior wood shutters you will reduce your heating bill this winter and help keep the cost of cooling your home down during the summer month s. You'll enjoy their energy efficiency as well as the beauty they add to your windows.
