Energy Savings

Get the Best energy savings with Polywood Shutters

Today, everyone's talking about saving energy. As energy prices rise, consumers need to make the best decisions to save money.

Everyone knows that windows are one of the biggest sources of heat gain/loss in the home. The right window treatment can help. Shutters are widely considered to be the most energy efficient window treatment, and Polywood shutters are the best of the best!

What makes Polywood better than the competition starts with our unique material that is dense enough to block air flow. The sides of our shutters have weather-stripping pieces that seal to block more temperature and light than any other shutter. This weather-stripping also comes standard on our decorative frame. Finally, with UV inhibitors in both the material and baked into the paint finish, Polywood stands up to even the most intense sunny climates.

Polywood delivers energy savings better than any other shutter, including:

	Blocking Air Flow An independent agency tested Polywood's thermal protection and found that it can block as much as 30 degrees of air flow that comes through a window.
	Saving Kilowatt Hours A consulting firm for a major Electric Company validated that Polywood shutters save kilowatt hours, which saves on your heating and cooling bills.
	Maximizing R-Value Polywood's been tested in various types of windows and found to have an R-Value of over 6 in a double pane window. That's the highest of any shutter on the market.
	Reducing Heat Transfer For customers living in hot climates, Polywood offers a 45.96% reduction in heat transfer.
	Improving Energy Efficiency Studies have proven that Polywood is up to 70% more energy efficient than wood shutters and up to 1600% more energy efficient than aluminum blinds.
	Resisting Moisture and Humidity Since Polywood is moisture-proof, it resists humidity and moisture that can impact the temperature of a room.
	Certified Fire Resistant Polywood is registered as a Flame Resistant Product by the California State Fire Marshall's office.

Polywood combines power with beauty. No other shutter gives you more control over light, temperature, noise and privacy than Polywood shutters. And, no other shutter looks as beautiful as long.
