Reduced Sun Exposure And Energy Costs
Exterior rolling shutters reduce your energy costs year-round, keeping you cooler in summer and warmer in winter. By creating dead air space between glass and shutter, you insulate your home against heat gain and heat loss. In fact, exterior rolling shutters improve your home’s insulating factor by as much as 63%, reducing your heating and cooling costs day after day. Over time, you can even pay for the shutters with the money you save!
Whether blocking out harsh, cold winds or deflecting the sun’s penetrating rays, exterior rolling shutters put you in control with the flip of a switch. On particularly hot days you might want to close your shutters completely for a cool, relaxing environment. Or close them partially, allowing some sunshine in through small ventilation holes in the shutters slats. By controlling the level of light that enters the room, you have can adjust the rolling shutters to prevent glare on televisions, computers, home theatres and projection screens.
Controlling the level of light will also protect your home furnishings from the sun’s damaging UV rays. Once closed, the interlocking slats secure in place, effectively shutting out the light and protecting your home from unwanted intruders.
