Polywood Shutters Solve All Window Facing Problems in San Antonio
Every window in your home has a directional facing, and you will need a covering that can tackle both sun glare and heat loss. Some time during the day, your windows will face the sun’s UV rays which can heat up the room. Also, depending on the hour, a window may struggle with overpowering sun glare.
As each window facing handles sun glare and heat loss in a different manner, is there a single window covering in San Antonio that that handles each problem equally well?
Polywood® Shutters Work Better Than The Others On Windows That Are Situated East Or West
Your Polywood plantation shutters will also closes off the evening sun on those westward windows. Because the day usually rises in temperature as it gets later, there might be the other issue of the late day sun making everything uncomfortable. While the space may only heat up for a little bit, the temperature shift may be enough to make your space seem hot and stuffy unless you use a window covering that also keeps the hot air on the outside.
Polywood® Shutters Work Better Than The Others On Windows That Are Situated North Or South:
For heat problems, you will want to use a window covering that is energy efficient. Polywood plantation shutters hinder air flow with their solid faux wood louvers and weather stripping, creating one of the most energy-efficient window covering available. In fact, our Polywood shutters employ an energy efficient insulation system which makes them 70% more efficient than hardwood shutters and 1600% more efficient than aluminum blinds.
What Other Window Coverings Are Suitable For Multiple Window Facings?
In your rooms with windows that only look one direction, you have a larger selection of treatments. A sheer cellular or roman shade might be what you need for windows that are set east or west. Their translucent nature will stop the glare but will still give a hint of light that perks up the room.
With north- or south-facing windows, you should prioritize energy efficiency first, and then worry about glare. If your windows are in a shady spot, you might try a wood plantation shutter, like our Ovation® line, or even something like our reclaimed wood shutters.
Spaces that have windows on a corner wall or two might need a multi-use treatment that can direct light and is energy efficient. This is where our Polywood plantation shutters are the perfect covering because they outdo other treatments in energy efficiency and directing sunlight. When the sun rises and sets, you can direct sunlight so natural light still fills the room, but the harsher rays won’t fully heat up the room. And while plantation shutters will mitigate facing headaches, they also blend in with several decor styles.
