Polywood Shutters Fix All Window Facing Headaches in Tampa
As each window faces different directions, you will want to use a window treatment that can stand against both sun glare and heat loss. Some time during the day, your windows will face UV rays from the sun which can heat up the room. Also, depending on the hour, a window may struggle with intense sun glare.
With each facing having separate issues, is there one covering in Tampa that works for every window?
Polywood® Shutters Work Better Than The Others On Windows That Face East Or West
Your Polywood plantation shutters will also obscure sunsets on windows facing west. Because heat and humidity usually compiles throughout the day, there might be the additional trouble of the afternoon sun heating up your space. Even if your windows only catch a few hours of after 3 pm sun the temperature change is enough to make your rooms seem hot and stuffy unless you pick a window covering that also keeps the hot air on the outside.
Polywood® Shutters Are Your Best Option For Windows That Face North Or South:
For heat problems, you will want to use a window treatment that is energy efficient. Polywood plantation shutters block air flow by using solid faux wood louvers and weather stripping, which makes them one of the most energy-efficient window treatments on the market. In fact, our Polywood shutters employ an energy efficient insulation system that is 70% more efficient than hardwood shutters and 1600% more efficient than aluminum blinds.
Is There Any Alternative Window Treatment That Will Work For All Your Windows?
In your rooms with windows that only look one direction, you have options. A sheer cellular or roman shade is a good choice for windows that look east or west. Their translucent nature will stop the glare but let in a soft light that perks up the room.
When you have north- or south-facing windows, you need to worry about energy efficiency first, and then worry about glare. If you haven’t seen that the room gets too hot from your windows, you could go with a wood plantation shutter, like our Ovation® line, or perhaps something like our reclaimed wood shutters.
Rooms with a corner wall or two will need a all-purpose treatment that can block direct harsh sunlight and deals with heat. In this instance, our Polywood plantation shutters fit the bill because the thick louvers will direct light and keep cool air in. During times when glare is at its peak, you can direct sunlight so natural light still fills the room, but the blinding rays won’t become too warm for your windows. And while plantation shutters address your window facing problems, they also fit in beautifully with several decor styles.
