Winter Cottage with Exterior Wood Shutters

Exterior wood shutters aren't just for keeping the sun rays and nasty tropical weather out in the summer. Wood shutters are also great during the winter to provide an extra barrier on your windows to keep the warm in and the cold out.

How Do Wood Shutters Protect you from the Cold?

Exterior shutters are a great barrier against the cold outside by providing an extra valuable layer of protection against heat loss. Even when your windows are insulated and caulked around the edges your windows they are still a major source of heat loss. Adding wooden shutters to the exterior and closing them provide you an extra protection between you and the cold outside. Exterior shutters can also help to trap heat inside for a longer period of time in the case of power failure during a winter storm.

Not only do wooden shutters protect you from the cold but they can also protect your windows from fallen trees or snowy branches that may buckle under the extra weight and come crashing down. With so many advantages of wood shutters your insurance company may be willing to give you a break on your policy if you have storm shutters installed on your home because they make your home more secure and reduce the risk of damage during a storm.
