Polywood Shutters Fix All Window Facing Issues in Baltimore
Each window in your rooms have a directional facing, and you will need a covering that can handle both sun glare and heat loss. Throughout the day, your windows may collect UV rays from the sun which can heat up the room. Alternately, a window may have difficulty with intense sun glare.
With each window direction having separate problems, is there one covering in Baltimore that that handles each problem equally well?
Polywood® Shutters Work Better Than The Others On Windows That Face East Or West
Your Polywood plantation shutters will also obscure sunsets on west facing windows. Because the afternoon can be warmer than the morning, you could have the additional problem of the afternoon sun making everything uncomfortable. While your rooms may only heat up for a little bit, the temperature fluctuation might be enough to make your rooms seem stale and uncomfortable unless you have a window treatment that also keeps the hot air on the outside.
Polywood® Shutters Are Better Than Other Treatments For Windows Facing North Or South:
For heat problems, try using an energy efficient window treatment. Polywood plantation shutters block air flow by using solid faux wood louvers and weather stripping, which makes them the most energy-efficient window covering on the market. In fact, our Polywood shutters use an energy efficient insulation system and are 70% more efficient than hardwood shutters and 1600% more efficient than aluminum blinds.
Do Other Window Coverings Work As Well As Polywood Shutters?
If you have a room with windows that only face one direction, you have a larger selection of treatments. A sheer cellular or roman shade might be what you need for windows that look east or west. Sheer shades will diffuse the glare but allows a hint of light that enlivens the room.
But with north- or south-facing windows, you will care more about energy efficiency over dealing with glare. If your windows are in a shady spot, you could go with a wood plantation shutter, like our Ovation® line, or perhaps a product like our reclaimed wood shutters.
Spaces that have windows on a corner wall or two might need a multi-use treatment that will deal with glare and deals with heat. Of course, our Polywood plantation shutters are the perfect covering because they are built to be energy efficient and adjustable. During sunrise and sunset, you can direct sunlight so natural light still fills the room, but the direct rays won’t become too warm for your windows. And while plantation shutters address your window facing issues, they also enhance most decor styles.
