Internal Shutters
In the past shutters were used to control light, provide privacy, and protect windows from weather, unwelcome intrusion, or damage. They are vented or solid window blinds that can be arranged in various ways. They can be made up of louvers that are fixed or operable, solid raised panels, as well as glass or fabric inserts. They can be hanging from the outside of the frame, or they may fit within a decorative frame attached to the wall's inside.
Modern wood shutters for interior use come in many styles and materials. Most are made from solid wood, and can be stained or colored. Aluminum, vinyl, and composite are also used in the production of shutters for windows. They are also available in various styles like gloss, satin and matte. Some are also designed to be acoustically effective by including a layer of acoustic insulation.
Louvered shutters are among the most popular. They allow natural sunlight into the room, while preventing heat and humidity when closed. They can also be upgraded by adding large louvers that can be opened and closed at different angles to improve the appearance of the shutters. They can also be upgraded by adding cloth tapes to soften their appearance. routeless slats that eliminate the requirement for a tilt rod and allow you to control the slat angle independently.
Window shutters come in two mounting options and both of them are based on historical precedent. The frame mount is the most popular and easiest to install. It affixes shutter panels to a thin attached frame that is attached to the window casing or to the wall behind it. This method removes the necessity to modify the trim and is particularly well-suited for windows that are not square.
Other window shutters, such as cafe-type shutters, are fitted to the lower section of a window. They can be opened or closed at any time to let in light but also provide the privacy of the lower part of a room. This is a great choice for kitchens, dining rooms and living rooms. You can also include a front tilt or hidden tilt upgrade to your shutters, making opening and closing them effortless. The front tilt option makes use of an element that runs through the middle of the shutter, while the hidden option removes the rod completely for an elegant, minimalist look.
Acoustic Glass
Noise reduction glazing is also referred to as an acoustic window. It is a specialized system designed to dampen, dissipate and diffuse sound instead of simply reflecting it. This is ideal for homes located near railway tracks, busy roads or lakes which are subject to high levels of noise pollution.
Acoustic glass offers a considerable reduction in sound compared to conventional windows. It can cut down outside noise by up to 40dB. This is an enormous difference, especially when you live in the city centre or in close proximity to the area of heavy traffic.
Contrary to double glazing, which is usually made using two 4mm panes of glass that have an air space between, acoustic glass has a layer of laminate PVB between the glass panes. It's a special resin, originally developed for safety and security purposes and helps strengthen the glass and disperses the energy of the sound waves. This is why it's more effective than using different thicknesses of glass.
The acoustic glass may be fitted in new windows or it can be added to existing uPVC or timber frames. It is important to remember that the best results can only be achieved using windows that have been specifically designed for use in acoustics. Traditional windows made of sash, for instance were not made to be soundproofing and should only be fitted with specially designed soundproof frames.
Acoustic glazing can't make homes in the city centre completely silent. However, it can cut down the level of noise and make living at home more enjoyable.
Acoustic glass is not just effective in reducing external noise but also enhances the thermal performance of a building. It has a lower U value than vacuum double glazing, which can help keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in the summer. Combining acoustic glass with insulation can help you save money on heating bills and reduce carbon footprint.
