How Do Shutters Keep Your Customers' Rooms Cool in Summer?

Custom West Shutters in a Clean and Modern Living Room

Wooden shutters are a great addition to customers’ homes, made to order to your customer’s exact specification, they look great inside and out.  

How do shutters keep rooms cool in summer?  

Shutters are an ideal solution when it comes to shading your customers’ home for the summer. 

They can reduce or prevent the strong sun from entering through the windows which ultimately reduces the temperature inside. They help control the temperature in your customers' homes by letting them adjust how much sunlight comes in, which cuts down on glare and keeps things comfortable.  

Not only do shutters keep out heat, they also allow your customers to open their windows but keep shutters closed to let in fresh air through the home. When it comes to colour, customers can choose from a plethora of colours and styles for shutters. They can choose from our collection of specially selected popular shades or create their own custom colour. Show your customers lighter and breezier colours so that the heat won’t absorb the heat during summer so that your customers' homes stay cool throughout the summer heatwaves.

Shutters offer an extra level of insulation when it gets cooler too, effectively retaining warm air between the window and the louvres when closed. This results in prolonged cooling of the room, contributing to energy conservation and enhancing overall comfort within your customers' homes throughout the year.

Here at Custom West, we have an extensive choice of frame options to suit all window types.

Our most popular shutters are Boston and Seattle styles. The Boston shutter range is crafted from durable hardwood. These shutters work well in any type of setting whether it be contemporary, traditional or country living. The Boston is available in 18 colour options and can have a custom colour finish.

Seattle is our contemporary choice of shutter. Not only is this range durable, as it’s made from Engineered Wood and coated in polymer, it’s a more affordable option and has a wipe clean surface. It’s a recommended option for high traffic areas within the home like living rooms or bedrooms.
