How to Insulate your Home with Wooden Shutters
Our Wooden Shutters are just one of the many ways you can improve your home and help prevent that sudden rise in your energy costs and we’re here to tell you how you can Insulate your Home and save money in the long run.
Many companies and customers are currently suffering from how energy costs are rising. The colder winters in the last few years have caused a complete surge in how much gas is being used and therefore, the prices have increased a lot more in recent times.
The BBC website has some great suggestions as to what you can do to save money in your home on your energy bills, just by making small changes in your everyday life. Some of their ideas include; purchasing and using LED bulbs, doing less washing a week or using a dishwasher more often than washing up. Even turning your thermostat down one degree would save about £55.
How The Shutter Studio can help you Insulate your Home
So, are you looking at how to insulate a room from the inside of your home? Well, our team at The Shutter Studio can help provide you with some amazing wooden shutters to keep your room perfectly insulated in those colder months.
We know it can be challenging constantly looking at energy comparisons and being a company that provides window coverings for the home, we want to help our customers as much as possible with saving money and energy. If you are looking for some home insulation ideas then look no further than wooden shutter blinds. These products have so many benefits as well as giving your home a stylish look.
Having the extra solid structure against your windows and doors can help provide better insulation. Even with double glazed windows, you may still experience the cold outside air seeping in or your heating seeping out and so, shutters (with the louvres closed) help trap that air between the shutter and window itself to keep your home nice and warm in the winter. The wood is a natural insulator and acts as a barrier, absorbs the heat and radiates it back into your home.
We have a lot of questions asking if this would be the same in the summer months. Well, with the windows and louvres open in the summer, your home would stay perfectly cool due to the air flowing nicely from the open windows, through the slats into your home.
They also provide that extra shade from the sun coming directly through a window if you kept the shutter panels closed but still having that option of having light coming in through the open louvres. Shutters help ventilate a room nicely which is why they are the perfect products to have all year round.
Noise Insulators for that Peaceful Night’s Sleep
Did you know shutters can also provide good sound insulation? The thick material of hardwood shutters against your windows also acts as a sound barrier. They almost become a soundproofing material once they are installed and can help block out the outside noise if you was living on a busy street.
They are a great solution for those who need that extra quiet room, maybe for a nursery or even customers who do night work and need to sleep during the day. These amazing products can provide long-lasting energy savings and give your home perfect insulation and other benefits all year round.
