Everyone knows that windows are one of the biggest causes of heat gain and loss in your home. Choosing the right window treatment can result in energy and money savings for you.
We carry the best energy saving
window treatments in Cleveland. Our Polywood® Shutter Insulating System has exceptional thermal resistance, the best reduction of heat transfer, and offers the highest energy efficiency of all the window treatments available. And, when coupled with Solar Gard window film,
Polywood shutters are your prime choice for the highest savings on your energy payments.
The Polywood Shutter Insulation System
Shutters are the top energy-efficient window treatment. And our
Polywood shutters, with their exceptional insulation system, are the best energy saving
shutters in Cleveland – if not the US.
We make every part of our Polywood Shutters with energy efficiency in mind so you can reap the energy savings. The unique solid polymer material Polywood is manufactured from is thick enough to block air flow. This transforms these shutters into 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 reduces heat transfer around the panels in both the cold of winter and the heat of summer in Cleveland. Add to that 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 gives you more energy savings than any other shutter:
-
Stops 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 results in 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 moisture and humidity that can influence a room’s temperature.
