What are Interior shutters?

Plantation shutters, one of the standard window coverings, are a type of bespoke blind designed to be a permanent window dressing. They are made from wood and faux wood, and they usually have louvres, or slats, that can be opened and closed to adjust the amount of light and air that comes into a room.

Energy Saving Shutters

Most people don’t think about their windows when it comes to saving energy, but in reality, they can be one of the biggest culprits of heat loss in your home. Interior shutters are a great way to add additional insulation to your windows and keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Not only will this help you save money on your energy bills, but it will also make your home more comfortable year-round.

It is important to consider the fact that installing wooden shutters as a layer of insulation prevents drafts from coming through your windows, which means less cold air is able to get inside. By closing the louvres, you are also able to prevent your heating from escaping through the window. The shutter studio can help you find the perfect shutters for your home, offering four collections of wooden shutters, Monterey Pine, Basswood, Paulownia and White Ash.

For maximum coverage for insulation, we would highly recommend considering Full Height Shutters and even Solid Panel Shutters, a historical favourite for bay windows. Sash windows are a popular choice for window coverings, and tier-on-tier shutters are a popular option for sash windows. These shutters have a top and bottom set of shutters that open independently of each other.

This allows homeowners to open the top tier of shutters during the summer months for maximum light and ventilation and heat gain when closed during winter.

How Wooden Shutters can Keep your Home Cool in Summer

We hear you, what about summer? Especially after the heatwaves we have had, we don’t want our homes to retain heat during the summer months. By installing interior shutters in your home, you can keep heat from radiating into your home, as they are able to provide shade and ventilation.

This is a great way to keep your house cool during the summer months, as it will reduce your energy bills by keeping you from cranking up your air conditioning.
