Cheap Shutters Cost More In Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS - June 5, 2018 - PRLog -- In hot desert communities, plantation shutters are one of the most effective additions to your home insulation systems.  In Las Vegas where the temperatures routinely are above 100 degrees, and can get as high as 116 for day on end, adequate insulation and cooling systems are an absolute must if you are to keep your home livable.  The prices that you will pay in electricity every month in the summer in Las Vegas is going to be directly connected to the efficiency of these systems, and improvements to them can literally pay for themselves in savings over the years.

A perfect example of this fact is plantation shutters, a favorite among Las Vegas home owners due to their ability to be completely closed and provide a solid barrier against the harsh sun.  Plantation shutters mounted in a window that has direct sun exposure can reduce the ambient temperatures in a room by more than ten degrees, and this reduction will cause air conditioning systems to have to work less hard.  Over time, the savings of 50 to 100 dollars every month on your air conditioning bills will translate to the shutters more than paying for themselves time and time again, and the only issues that you may have stem from having to replace cheap shutters.

An issue that happens in hot climates is that shutters made from cheap materials like poly and wood blends have a tendency to crack and warp, and therefor need to be replaced.  These cheap materials are often sold as looking and working exactly like more expensive basswood shutters, for a fraction of the price.  The problem is that the cheap materials cannot withstand the heat the same way basswood can, and quickly break down.  Even though they function the same way, they do not last the same way.  This is a problem for home owners because they only find out years later after the damage has occurred, and then need to spend even more money to have them replaced.
