Mother Nature has finally released her summer stranglehold on us! This year was typical with the first 100-degree day occurring Monday, May 31st. We usually heat up the third week of May and stay warm until about the third week of October.
So, for now, consider summer done and look for cold weather to set in shortly. While overnight temperatures are dipping into the lower 60s for now and the average low in September is 71 degrees, next month finds us at 59.
The colder months yield average lows as follows:
Month Degrees
October 59
November 46
December 39
January 39
February 41
March 49
During winter, we can get low temperatures in the teens. On January 8, 1963, we set a record low of 8-degrees. What will this winter be? No one knows for sure, but the Farmer’s Almanac forecasts cooler than normal temps with a couple substantial storms in January.
Plummeting thermometers translate into turned up thermostats at home and at work. When heaters run, dollars burn. Battling the cold costs you more and more every year. Did you know up to twenty-five percent of your home’s heat loss escapes through the windows. Glass transfers cold. Putting a barrier between windows and your home’s interior gives you an ally in the battle to keep energy bills low, living spaces warm, and you there’s a way to add a decorative enhancement at the same time.
Shutters effectively fight cold climates because they offer thermal insulation, controlled entry of light and radiant heat, and disrupt the flow of cold interior air currents that emanate off bare windows.
You insulate your walls, your attics, and crawl spaces. Today’s windows are double paned and manufactured with air pockets and quality insulation. Nonetheless those portals to the outside world are cold holes. Fill them with trendy shutters.
Quality shutters are denser and thicker than shades or curtains. They are better barriers against the cold.
While glass and metal draw cold in, wooden shutters or ones made with our proprietary High-Tech PolyCel®are more effective at retaining heat. They have inherently good and superior insulative properties. Did you know that properly constructed and installed Plantation Shutters reduce heat loss up to 50%?
Shutters add style and make a statement of luxury in homes. They are substantial additions that upgrade the appearance and the concept of quality. A home with shutters stands out against one with shades or curtains.
