Reduce energy consumption by installing Nu-Style Roller Shutters
Windows allow for light, warmth and fresh air to flow
through. However, when it comes to energy efficiency,
up to 87% of the sun’s heat is gained through windows
and up to 40% of a home’s heating energy can be lost.
Improving the thermal performance of your windows
significantly reduces energy costs and thereby
greenhouse gas emissions. Tests* have shown the
potential savings on heating and cooling energy
consumption for a whole year when using roller shutters
for a detached residence can be 40% and residential
units up to 59%.

Shading your windows with Nu-Style roller shutters
will keep out up to 87% of the sun’s heat to your
home which will significantly reduce the need for
air conditioning.
Window roller shutters will also keep your home warmer
in winter, reducing your need for electric or gas heating.
Helping reduce your home’s energy consumption and
reducing your utility bills.
With a professional Nu-Style roller shutter installation, the external
shutter is set away from the window frame so that it creates dual
layers of insulation. The first is the 8 – 11mm thick aluminium slat
filled with polyurethane, an insulated high-density foam that reduces
hot and cold transfers. The second is an 40 – 80mm air pocket
created by installing the shutter away from the window frame.
This air pocket becomes a neutral zone between the two areas and
helps minimizes the conductivity effects of when hot and cold air
collide. This environmentally sound combination prevents heat and
direct sunlight from hitting your glass windows and frames, keeping
you cooler in summer. This also has the reverse effect in winter where
you want to retain as much heat as possible, so that you can save
costs on heating your home and help reduce CO2 emissions.
Nu-Style outdoor blinds can help with climate control in your home
Installing outdoor blinds can help with climate control in
your home during summer. Premium mesh fabrics can
block heat and light whilst providing the right amount of
ventilation to cool your space.
By opening and closing at the appropriate times of
day, outdoor blinds can help regulate the amount of
ventilation to cool your space.
By opening and closing at the appropriate times of day,
outdoor blinds can help regulate the amount of sunlight
and associated heat that is able to enter the home.
Keeping your outdoor blinds closed during hot days
can help keep the home cool and conserve energy. In
winter, keeping your blinds closed can conserve warmth
in alfresco areas with outdoor heaters, allowing you to
make use of this area all year round.
Plantation shutters - stylish protection from the sun
One of the biggest benefits to installing plantation shutters is that
they are extremely efficient when it comes to conserving energy.
They’re installed in such a way that they seal right up against the
window frame. This helps to keep heat out in summer and cold out
in winter. Available in internal PVC, Basswood and internal/external
aluminium louvre shutters.
Installing louvers gives you control over the amount of light and
airflow coming from your windows whilst acting as an insulative
barrier inside your home.
Install security doors and window screens for natural ventilation
Security doors and window screens allow you to open your
doors and windows and let fresh air to flow through your
home. This natural ventilation helps to keep your home
at a pleasant temperature without the need for blasting
air conditioning systems and fans. You save on energy
consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
