Let’s face it, many people who hear the word louvers do not know what it is referring to. Louvers are actually the name of the flat horizontal slats or panels that block out light for window shutters. Valrico residents should be aware that these slats or louvers are often the important part of what makes window shutters so special and different from typical blinds. These parts are responsible for controlling the amount of light that a window shutter allow into a home and can greatly affect the temperature of your home by letting in too much sunlight.
Louvers Can Lower Your Homes Energy Bill
When most people find out that louvers are just sideways blinds, that’s all they will ever chalk them up to be. People should know that louvers are more important than blinds when combined with window shutters. Valrico residents should be aware that window shutters and louvers are much better at insulating your home then blinds and can keep the cold air in and the hot air out on those summer days. This can also cause your Ac system to run less often, which in return can help an individual lower their regular energy bill costs by doing nothing more than upgrading their old blinds.
Different Louver Sizes Control Different Amounts of Light
When it comes to window shutters, Valrico residents should be made aware that louvers are not all made the same size, but they are made in different sizes for people’s personal needs. People who are purchasing window shutters with louvers should know that the larger the louvers are, the better the view is when they are made open. Usually the smallest size louvers that are used on window shutters are one and a quarter of an inch. This style is more suited for a person who wants more privacy from their shutters as opposed to an open concept.
