How Do Window Roller Shutters Keep a House Cool?
The top performers when it comes to thermal insulation in summer – roller shutters provide an effective barrier between outdoor heat and the window or door glass pane. The shutter’s thermal characteristics are achieved by an air pocket formed between the shutter and the glass. Roller shutters, when completely closed, can reduce heat gain by up to 90%.
By How Much Can Roller Shutters Reduce My Power Bills?
Perth is known for its scorching summers, with the many parts of the region regularly hitting 40 degrees or higher. In these conditions, most homeowners are forced to resort to expensive cooling methods, such as air conditioners that cause a drastic spike in electricity costs. Installing roller window shutters keep cool air in and hot air out, meaning less usage of air conditioning and therefore leading to a cost saving of up to 30% in your electricity bill.
Roller Shutters Are Great for Bush Fire Areas
Unfortunately, there isn’t an Australian summer that goes by without bush fires and government agencies now advise installing aluminium window roller shutters for added protection for homes in bush fire prone regions. Window roller shutters can reduce the effects of bushfires by:
