4 reasons to get outdoor blinds

Outdoor shutters are increasingly sought-after elements in family homes, apartments, and even administrative spaces as the hot summers continue. They have gained popularity mainly due to their year-round functionality – they cool the interior in summer and save money on heating in winter.

We primarily buy window shutters for shading. However, this shading has several additional values that will convince you that their purchase is truly a good investment.

1. They reduce noise from the street

Do you work shift hours? After a night shift, all you want is to get a good sleep. But that's hardly possible when sunlight brightens the entire bedroom and you can clearly hear cars passing outside or people talking under your windows. Outdoor shutters are invaluable in this respect. Not only do they completely darken the room, but they also soundproof it. You can enjoy undisturbed sleep not just at night, but anytime during the day.

2. They save energy in winter

Winter is still far off, but it's good to think ahead about what is to come and how to save as much as possible. Outdoor shutters are made from perfectly fitting aluminum slats filled with PUR foam. This combination of materials and precise workmanship ensures a reduction in heating costs of up to 30%. That's a significant boost to your budget. Not to mention how warm you'll feel, even if it's freezing outside.

3. They cool in summer

The outdoor shutters themselves do not have any cooling ability – just to clarify. In summer, the shutters function similarly to winter, when the slats lock into each other, allowing the shutters to isolate the thermal energy escaping through the window. In summer, they reflect the heat from the sun and do not allow it to penetrate further to the windows and into the interior. You can reduce the temperature in your house, apartment, or office by up to 7 °C even without air conditioning. Other family members or employees will thank you for it more than once.

4. They act as a security element

Create the illusion that you are home, even when you are traveling the world. Outdoor shutters can be controlled remotely, even from a mobile phone or tablet. Schedule their morning rise and evening closure, and even your nearest neighbors won’t realize that your house or apartment is empty. And if a thief does decide to make an uninvited visit, built-in sensors will command the outdoor shutters to close upon detecting a bump. Overcoming this obstacle unnoticed will be a challenge.

Which point convinced you that outdoor shutters are truly a good addition to a house or apartment?
