Shutters Can Improve Insulation, Keeping the Heat
Out

• Theres no debating it, its hot in Australia
  right now. Keeping your home cool as the
  temperature rises is a constant challenge, and
  surprisingly, one of the best ways to maintain a
  comfortable temperature is with better insulation.

3

• External shutters are an affordable and
  effective way to add value to your home, not only
  because they add style, but also because they
  help prevent heat from entering, and the cool air
  your air con generates from escaping.

• The best window shutters will help to lower your
  energy costs, reduce the amount of heat entering
  your home, control sunlight and possess good
  thermal properties.

5
Reduce Electricity Costs

• Electricity costs are high in Australia, which
  makes energy efficiency a major focus of home
  design. Energy-efficient windows are great, but
  windows themselves dont really possess any
  insulation qualities. Shutters can help improve
  the efficiency of your windows and your homes
  energy performance by protecting it from the sun.

Reduce the Amount of Heat Entering a Home

• Running the air con day and night is a necessity
  during times like these, otherwise, heat transfer
  from the sun increases the temperature inside
  your home and can cause an uncomfortable and even
  dangerous environment.

7

• The virtual lack of insulation on windows causes
  heat to radiate inward during the summer, which
  forces your air con to work harder. Shutters,
  however, can control the amount of heat that
  enters your home, taking some of the strain off
  the air con.

Control Sunlight

• Taking advantage of the natural light of the sun
  is a good way to utilise renewable energy when
  its cool! Aluminium shutters, like the high
  quality Louvreshield shutters we sell, give you
  full control over the amount of light you allow
  in a room or outdoor space. These are a great
  option, no matter the time of year.

Absorb Heat With Good Thermal Properties

• Choosing a style of shutter is all about
  personal preference, but when it comes to thermal
  properties, theres far more to consider. Thermal
  performance is measured by the percentage of
  temperature difference achieved by a material.

10

• While most materials perform well, aluminium is
  truly one of the best. In fact, the reinforced
  extruded aluminium Louvreshield External Shutter
  is the top shutter in Australia. Its durable,
  easy to clean and provides insulation like no
  other shutter in the country.
