Why You Should Want Solid Shutter Louvers In Bakersfield

When you begin searching for window treatments in Bakersfield, you will find that there are a bunch of interesting budget plantation shutter options. While they may feel right at first, a more detailed look will show that those companies save money by using materials like plastic or vinyl. They will also make their shutters with hollow louvers, which makes the shutter lightweight and economical. Ideally, these look like a good idea, but there is still the question: how much disparity can there be between hollow and solid louvers?

For a quality covering, you should prioritize plantation shutters with solid shutter louvers if you want your treatments to maintain their shape, color, and energy-efficient properties for years to come. Hollow louvers just can’t hold up to the quality of our solid-louvered Polywood® Shutters, and here’s why:

Solid Shutter Louvers Will Maintain Their Shape

Throughout the day in Bakersfield, your windows heat up or cool down, and so do your plantation shutters. Hollow louvers are usually made of flexible material. So when they widen and condense because of temperature fluctuations, it's hard for hollow louvers to keep their shape. The result is a louver that is warped or split, and a window treatment that won’t close properly.

 

Solid shutter louvers, especially those constructed from a high-tech faux-wood composite, will maintain their shape over the lifetime of the shutter. Because of the rigid structure, your shutters will always snap shut every time, and you won’t have to worry about outside light or heat loss slipping through because of misshapen louvers. The warranty of our Polywood shutters assures that your louvers will never buckle or split for the lifetime of the product. Most likely you won’t find a guarantee like that with a shutter that uses hollow louvers.

Solid Shutter Louvers Are More Energy Efficient

Then as your shutter louvers bend over time and don’t shut properly, your energy efficiency is relinquished. Heat loss is now a concern, and air will start to flow through easily, making your room hotter or colder. Now, all you are left with are ineffective, misshapen interior shutters that can’t stop light or air.

Solid shutter louvers are more densely packed and are generally effective at blocking heat loss/gain through the window. Quality faux wood shutters are the best at energy efficiency, as their material is made from a impermeable material that won’t expand or contract. Now you have a interior shutter that always closes tight every time, giving you a dependable way to regulate the temperature around your windows.

Our Polywood shutters are seen as the peak of energy-efficient window treatments in Bakersfield, as they contain an extra benefit of weather stripping. With the stripping, each shutter louver will “lock” into place and completely secure the window from outside air. We’ve seen that with our faux wood composite and added weather-stripping, Polywood shutters are 70% more energy-efficient than wood plantation shutters and up to 1600% more energy efficient than aluminum blinds.
