Insulate your home in style
Plantation Shutters add an extra layer of insulation to your home acting almost to the same level as secondary glazing.
By installing full height wooden shutters this can reduce the heat loss through your windows by up to 50%, making your home more energy efficient and saving on your bills.Plantation Shutters use a full frame around the window with individual or bi-folding panels hinged within. Because of this they create a sealed effect around the window minimising drafts and insulating against the cold glass of your windows. Coupled with an insulating cellular blackout blind that sits behind the shutter then the insulation effect is drastically improved. This also translates to sound insulation as well though which makes it ideal for shift-workers and roadside properties.
That’s not all they can do though, they are one of the most versatile options for most homes giving a flexibility no other window dressings can compete with. There are various size louvres to choose from which can completely change the look from traditional to an ultra modern style. They are the ultimate option for light control, as sections of each panel can be split to operate independently from each other.
They are extremely low maintenance and an absolute ease to keep clean. A dream for allergy sufferers as they don’t hold dust or pollen like a fabric blind will. Shaped and Bay windows are also perfect for shutters, due to their fully bespoke nature there are rarely any cases where shutters can’t be used. There are very few negatives with plantation shutters which is why they are our top selling product.
