How Plantation Shutters Can Prevent Cold Drafts in Your House During the Winter

"How Plantation Shutters Can Prevent Cold Drafts in Your House During the Winter” Blog article by Better Blinds and Shades in Ocean View & Millsboro, DE

Your thermostat is working hard now that winter has arrived. You’ve already increased the attic’s insulation and sealed up any door breezes, but did you realize that improperly insulated window treatments may be causing you to lose heat via your windows?

Since Plantation Shutters are the greatest energy-efficient shutters to keep your house warm during winter, this is why so many people are turning to them.

Why Some Window Coverings Don’t Pass the Insulation Test

One of the main ways that heat escapes from your home is through the windows. Windows still require some sort of covering to retain the heat inside the space, even though they function far better than they did a few decades ago.

Even when they are closed, most window coverings like blinds, shades, or drapes have gaps on their sides or underneath them that allow air to enter. Additionally, if they are made of lightweight material, heat is lost via the covering themselves. Your windows may become drafty as a result, increasing heating costs.

A Complete Insulation System Is Plantation Shutters

One of the most energy-efficient shutters available is made of plantation. Their windows are protected by a proprietary insulation system that includes weather-stripping to reduce heat loss. According to studies, they can reduce heat transfer by up to 30 degrees when compared to windows without any window coverings. Additionally, they insulate 1600% better than aluminum blinds and up to 70% better than equivalent wood shutters.

Here are some reasons why Plantation Shutters are the finest for heating your home:

Solid design and construction: Plantation Shutters are made of a robust, thick material that keeps heat and breeze out. So that your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard, this keeps your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

Contrary to other window treatments, Plantation Shutters contain weather-stripping on the sides: allowing you to secure the shutter around the window and stop air from flowing around the sides of the shutter.Barrier against moisture: Plantation Shutters are made of water-resistant material that keeps moisture out, helping to keep the temperature in your home constant.

Made specifically for your home to fit exactly:  Before we begin building your shutters, we visit and take precise measurements. This indicates that your shutters should cover your windows with no significant gaps, like a glove. Plantation Shutters can also be customized to accommodate windows with unusual shapes, like arches, circles, bay windows, and more.
