For most of us, our favourite season has arrived. The warm weather is finally here, and hopefully, it’s going to stay. Generally, we only think about preparing our home for the cold winter months but summer also offers its own challenges. Fortunately, there are steps you can take with your windows to help out during the warm weather.
Protect your furniture from UV rays
During the hot summer months, UV rays can become an issue when they get into your home through the windows. The powerful UV rays can cause damage to furniture and carpets, causing them to warp or fade. Window shutters offer a reliable layer of protection against harmful UV rays. All of our shutters are hand sprayed and receive a total of 6 separate coats. The final coat is a clear lacquer finish with a built-in ultraviolet sunscreen to help protect the shutters from fading.
Keep your home cool in the summer.
Not only are window shutters great at keeping in the heat during cold winter months but they are also fantastic at keeping unwanted heat out. When the sun is beating down, window shutters act as a great insulator to unwanted sunlight and heat entering your home.
Security and peace of mind
With the holiday season coming up we all want to go away knowing our house is as secure as possible. Window shutters act as an excellent deterrent to house burglars. Not only do they stop would-be intruders looking into your home, but they also act as a second layer of defence against intrusion.
Outside noise
It’s that time of year where garden parties are in full swing, meaning that outside noise can become a bit of a problem. When shutters are closed, they act as a fantastic sound insulator helping prevent outside noise from coming in.
A fantastic investment
Window shutters are a fantastic investment for your home, offering benefits in every season. They also look great adding attractive qualities to any window. With so many choices, we have a shutter to suit every home!
