When it comes to your windows, there are many options to improve both their visual appearance and energy efficiency. A plantation shutter is one option available on the market. One that has a refined, sleek beauty that can be included in an effective, energy-efficient window system.
Flutter Shutter, our own plantation shutter from Liverpool, is a prime example of matching technology to energy, aesthetic beauty in the form of plantation shutters.
In this blog, we will discuss the benefits of such an installation and how it can affect your property’s value.
What Is A Plantation Shutter?
Plantation shutters are a versatile set of adjustable wooden slats for controlling airflow, light levels and privacy. Once fitted to the window, these luxury window shutters can be adjusted by hand to control the amount of light entering a room.
These hard-surfaced slats can block heat and reduce the amount that escapes through windows, making them effective for home temperature control.
Our own window system, Flutter Shutter, features a plantation shutter that works in concert with a roller blind.
What is Flutter Shutter?
As a secondary glazing window efficiency system, Flutter Shutter pairs a luxurious plantation shutter with a transparent roller blind in a single energy-efficiency measure. By combining these features, our window measure can achieve energy-efficiency results comparable to those of triple glazing.
As a non-intrusive window measure, our technology can be installed in the home without removing the preexisting windows. Bringing the beauty of a plantation shutter with the energy efficiency of an effective thermal barrier, all while avoiding costly and destructive renovation work.
That is how these energy saving window systems can be a visual upgrade to the property while also being energy efficient.
What Are the Benefits of Bespoke Fitted Shutters?
A good pair of bespoke fitted shutters. Flutter Shutter or not, it can truly improve your home in many ways.
Aesthetic Beauty of a Plantation Shutter
During development, we paired a plantation shutter from Liverpool with our thermal roller blind, as these plantation shutters offer a refined aesthetic beauty to the home when installed. Inspired by ancient Greek design, these plantation shutters can significantly enhance a home’s profile.
Energy Efficiency
The roller blind, alongside our bespoke fitted shutters, can greatly improve energy efficiency in the home. Offering a significant reduction in the amount of thermal bleed occurring through the windows.
With a plantation shutter from Liverpool, our roller blind can offer an SAP uplift of up to 6 points.
This translates into a major reduction in the amount of fuel consumption used to keep the home warm. Cutting costs for the home. All while looking visually appealing.
EPC Rating Improvements
As mentioned, our combined energy saving window systems can reduce energy consumption in the home. This means a significant improvement to the EPC rating of a property. Increasing the chance of achieving a higher band and thereby improving the value of your property.
Plantation Shutter Reduces Noise Pollution
With the combined bespoke fitted plantation shutter and roller blind, Flutter Shutter can reduce noise pollution entering the home by up to 80%. This then enhances privacy and maintains peace on your property by preventing unnecessary disruption in the building.
Boosting Property Value and Visual Beauty
With these benefits in mind, plantation shutters can offer a range of improvements to the home. Increasing property value by improving the energy efficiency results of the property while increasing the visual beauty at the same time.
Contributing to a value boost for the overall property, whether that is in the case that they are installed in one room or all rooms of the property.
