Insulated Roller Shutters- Can You Reduce Your Energy Bills?

How Roller Shutters Can Reduce Your Energy Bills

With fluctuating energy bills and every other letter coming through the door telling us about price hikes, it’s time to start saving as much energy as much as we can at work. An easy way to start is by keeping as much heat in - or in the summer months, out – as possible.

Most buildings have ‘weak spots’ - points where heat exchange is easiest - at doors and at window seals which typically allow heat or cold air to escape.

According to the National Insulation Association, a massive 66% of heat loss on average is through uninsulated solid walls and a further 20% through windows and doors. In businesses, especially with temperature-controlled premises such as food production warehouses, costs can be cut massively be reducing heat exchange points rather than relying on air conditioning.

Equally, temperatures should be maintained in business premises that make it comfortable for the employees inside. Chances are that if it’s too hot or cold then staff productivity and performance will begin to decline.
