Windows are one of the biggest causes of energy loss in your home. Using the right window treatment can lead to energy and money savings for you.
We offer the best energy saving
window treatments in Houston. Our Polywood® Shutter Insulating System has exceptional thermal resistance, the best reduction of heat transfer, and offers the most energy efficiency of all the window treatments available. And, when paired with Solar Gard window film,
Polywood shutters are your prime choice for the highest savings on your energy statements.
The Polywood Shutter Insulation System
Shutters are the top energy-efficient window treatment. And our
Polywood shutters, with their advanced insulation system, are the best energy saving
shutters in Houston – if not the United States.
We carefully craft each part of our Polywood Shutters with energy efficiency in mind to give you the most energy savings. The unique solid polymer material Polywood is composed from can block airflow because of its thickness. This results in shutters that are 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 panel. This dramatically reduces heat transfer at the edge of the panels in both the summer heat and winter cold in Houston. Top that off with a heat-reflective paint, and you have 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 brings you more energy savings than any other shutter:
-
Blocks Air Flow. Polywood’s thermal protection blocks up to 30 degrees of airflow that comes through a window.
-
Maximizes R-Value. Polywood’s R-Value is over 6 in a double-pane window. That’s the highest thermal resistance rating of insulation material of any shutter on the market.
-
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 the humid conditions that can influence a room’s temperature.
