The Polywood Shutter Insulation System 

Shutters are the top energy-efficient window treatment. And our Polywood shutters, with their advanced insulation system, are the best energy saving shutters in Bakersfield – if not the United States.
 
We carefully make 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 composed from can block airflow because of its density. This results in shutters that are a natural insulator. Polywood shutters block more temperature and light than any other shutter because of their patented weather stripping on the sides of each shutter panel. This greatly reduces heat transfer around the panels in both the summer heat and winter cold in Bakersfield. Top that off with a heat-reflective paint, and the result is a shutter that is not only stunning but also remarkably energy efficient. As a matter of fact, Polywood shutters insulate up to 70% better than an equivalent 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 intensely.
 
Here’s how Polywood gives you more energy savings than any other shutter:
  • Shields Against Air Flow. Polywood’s thermal protection blocks up to 30 degrees of airflow that passes through a window.

  • Maximizes R-Value. Polywood’s R-Value is 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.

  • Increases 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 influence the temperature of a room.
