During the winters, most of us are so focused on keeping ourselves warm that we forget how the plummeting temperature leads to an uptick in ducted temperature inside our homes and offices along with soaring energy bills in the winters.
Here are some of the top reasons for why roller shutters are indispensable in the winter, no matter whether you live in Australia, whether it is Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane, from EzyFit Roller Shutters, a manufacturer of premium window roller shutters in Melbourne.
What are roller shutters?
A solid covering for the windows is known as roller shutters. They are lightweight yet extremely strong interlocking aluminium slats which are coated in durable enamel for long-lasting appeal. High-quality roller shutters, such as EzyFit roller shutters in Sydney, are filled with dense polyurethane foam to increase their insulating and noise-reducing benefits.
Why do you need them in winters?
Roller shutters and certainly the high-quality ones by Ezyfit roller shutters have the following benefits :
Keep you warm in winters
Generally, windows take about 15 to 20 percent of the surface area of the walls. And these windows are very important to heat or cool a space. Windows lose more heat per square foot of area in winter. This heat loss through doors and windows accounts for 20 to 30 percent of the whole heat loss of the house. Installing roller shutters helps reduce this heat loss.Premium roller shutters have a high-density polyurethane core, due to which they have excellent insulation qualities which reduce the heat loss through windows when the temperature goes down. The roller shutters from EzyFit can keep a home or office space up to 15 degrees warmer in winter.
It does the vice versa in summers, making it a great choice all year round.
Savings on energy bills
With the winter season, the cost of living too goes up due to higher energy bills. One way to save money is by installing window roller shutters. Roller shutters cover up windows, therefore helping achieve energy efficiency.
