The Polywood Shutter Insulation System 

Shutters are the most energy-efficient window treatment. And our Polywood shutters, with their progressive insulation system, are the best energy saving shutters in Washington DC – if not America.
 
We craft every part of our Polywood Shutters, keeping energy efficiency in mind to give you the most energy savings. The specialty solid polymer material Polywood is manufactured from is dense enough to block air flow. This transforms these shutters into a natural insulator. Polywood shutters block more light and temperature than any other shutter because of their patented weather stripping on the sides of each panel. This effectively reduces heat transfer at the edge of the panels in both the hot summer and the cold winter in Washington DC. We add in a heat-reflective paint, and you get a shutter that is not only beautiful but also extremely energy efficient. As a matter of fact, Polywood shutters insulate up to 70% better than a similar wood shutter.
 
Shutter Energy Efficiency
 
A third party thermal test (forward looking infrared) showed that the Polywood Shutter Insulating System blocked as much as 30 degrees of temperature coming through the window. This means the HVAC system doesn’t have to work as long.
 
Here’s how Polywood gives you more energy savings than any other shutter:
  • Stops Air Flow. Polywood’s thermal protection blocks up to 30 degrees of airflow that passes through a window.

  • Maximizes R-Value. Polywood has an R-Value of over 6 in a double-pane window. That’s the highest thermal resistance rating of insulation material of any shutter on the market.

  • Reduces Heat Transfer. Polywood leads to a 45.96% reduction in heat transfer.

  • Boosts Energy Efficiency. Polywood is up to 70% more energy efficient than wood shutters and up to 1600% more energy efficient than aluminum blinds.

  • Resists Moisture and Humidity. Since Polywood is moisture-proof, it resists the humid conditions that can affect a room’s temperature.
