Which Shutters Provide Better Insulation: Wood or Composite?
While, both wood and composite shutters provide a level of insulation, with temperature and light control, the density of composite shutters ranks it at the top of the R-value chart. What is R-value and why is it important? R-value measures heat resistance, so the higher the product’s R-value is, the better it is at insulating the home and improving energy efficiency.
Constructed with a solid MDF core and finished with a polypropylene coating that prevents moisture absorption, the composite shutter provides a range of benefits not offered in a wood or vinyl shutter. In fact, there are 4 benefits provided by composite shutters:
- Better consistency and durability
- Better heat resistance
- Will not fade or yellow with sun exposure
- Will, not chip, warp or crack over time
