Polywood Shutters Solve All Window Facing Headaches in Dover

Each window in your house has a directional facing, and you will want to use a covering that can handle both sun glare and heat loss. Depending on the time of day, your windows may collect the sun’s UV rays which can heat up the room. Alternately, a window may struggle with blinding sun glare.

As each window direction is affected by sun glare and heat loss separately, is there a single covering in Dover that works for every window?

Polywood® Shutters Work Better Than The Others On Windows That Are Situated East Or West

Your Polywood plantation shutters should also block the evening sun on those westward windows. Because heat and humidity usually compiles throughout the day, there might be the added problem of the late day sun heating up your space. Even if your windows only get a few hours of after 3 pm warmth the temperature change may be enough to make your rooms seem hot and stuffy unless you use a window covering that also is energy efficient. 

Polywood® Shutters Are Better Than Other Treatments For Windows Facing North Or South:

For temperature issues, the best window treatment is one that provides energy efficiency. Polywood plantation shutters stop air flow with their solid faux wood louvers and weather stripping, making them the most energy-efficient window covering that you can get. In fact, our Polywood shutters employ an energy efficient insulation system that is 70% more efficient than real wood shutters and 1600% more efficient than aluminum blinds.

Do Other Window Coverings Work As Well As Polywood Shutters?

For rooms with windows that face in one direction, you have many choices. A sheer cellular or roman shade is a good choice for windows that are set east or west. Their translucent nature will diffuse the glare but will still give ambient light that brightens the room. 

 

With north- or south-facing windows, you should prioritize energy efficiency first, and then worry about glare. If heat is only a backburner issue, you may want to look at a wood plantation shutter, like our Ovation® shutters, or even something like our reclaimed wood shutters. 

Spaces that have windows on a corner wall or two will need a more versatile treatment that can direct light and deals with heat. This is where our Polywood plantation shutters are the perfect covering because they are both energy efficient and adjustable. When the sun rises and sets, you can angle the louvers so natural light still peeks through, but the direct rays can’t become too warm for your windows. And while plantation shutters will mitigate facing headaches, they also blend in with several decor styles.
