Cutting energy costs with Roller Shutters
Sound insulation can trap or keep out heat in your house. To do this, you’ll need insulated windows and doors because that is where heat passes. A great way to ensure your outlets are properly insulated is to use Roller Shutters.
You must note that using Roller Shutters for heat insulation can be tricky. You need to ensure you are buying the right type for heat insulation, as not all Shutters are suitable.
How are roller shutters designed for insulation?
Roller Shutters meant for insulation come with an insulation film. These films typically come in contact with the outside environment for maximum insulation. The material used for this insulation is polyurethane.
How to select the right Roller Shutter for insulation
To ensure you don’t make the wrong choice, you should note this information about polyurethane.
Firstly, polyurethane is grey, and since it is the most popular material for insulation, you should expect to see a grey colour on the shutters. However, note that they can be other materials, so be sure to ask to confirm.
Secondly, polyurethane has a rubbery feel when touched since it is technically a type of plastic. So, always touch to confirm.
Finally, ensure that all sections of the Roller Shutter are insulated before you buy it. If all parts of the Roller Shutter aren’t insulated, heat can escape, resulting in lost energy and money.
Conclusion
Although buying an insulated Roller Shutter can be more expensive, it is worth it in the long run. Be sure to consult our team of experts to help you make the right choice.
