Direct Shutters Help Adelaide Homeowners to Reduce the Cost of Winter

WINGFIELD, Australia - June 25, 2013 - PRLog -- As winter begins to take hold in Adelaide, many homeowners are becoming increasingly concerned at the high cost of their domestic energy use. South Australia currently has the third highest energy costs anywhere in the world, and forecasts suggest that they will continue to rise throughout 2013/14.  

However, Direct Shutters in Adelaide can manufacture and instal roller shutters for windows and doors that provide an efficient and cost-effective means of helping to reduce domestic power bills.  

Direct Shutters custom make roller shutters from premium quality aluminium that are insulated with high-density polyurethane. When closed, they produce an added layer of insulation to windows and doors by keeping cold air and wind away from glass surfaces, meaning that indoor temperatures are not as severely affected by fluctuations in the weather outside, while at the same time preventing warmth that you have generated from escaping.  This means that householders can have greater control over the temperature inside, which in turn reduces the amount of expensive heating needed and the length of time required to run it. A reduced use of energy for heating also means a reduction in domestic carbon emissions as well.

“As well as helping to control the temperature in your home,” said Joe Anastasi of Direct Shutters, “our custom-made shutters give you an extra layer of protection when storms and bad weather hit. We use extremely strong, high-grade aluminium in all of our shutters, and this means they can protect your windows against the sort of dangerous debris that gets blown around during a bad storm.”

A further benefit is that preventing glass doors and windows form being broken during severe weather also means that you are protecting your home from potential water damage, caused when rain blows in through a smashed window or door. “Our shutters are also strong enough to protect your windows from heavy hail as well,” added Joe Anasatsi, “and we measure, make and fit them so that they won’t rattle or shake, no matter how strongly the wind is blowing.  All in all, we are very proud to offer Adelaide homeowners a comprehensive product and service that helps them to save money on the cost of their domestic heating, while at the same time protecting their homes from worst of winter storms.”
