Energy Efficiency Calculations
Our shutters provide thermal resistance of R-value 2.5-3.5, comparable to double-glazing. For a typical 3m x 2m window:
Heat loss reduction = Window area × U-value difference × Degree days
Where:U-value without shutters = 5.7 W/m²KU-value with shutters = 2.3 W/m²KLondon degree days = 2,200
Annual savings ≈ £85-£120 per window
These figures are supported by independent energy efficiency research.
