Polywood® Plantation Shutters can lower your energy bills because they are made of a synthetic material that has excellent insulating abilities. The louvers close tightly and have weather stripping that prevents outside air from getting in, helping your home stay cool in the summer and warm during colder months. When you purchase custom interior shutters from Michael Herr & Company, they will manufacture them to sit flush against your windows for a perfect fit. This ensures a tight seal between your window and shutter frames that increases energy efficiency by preventing air leakage.
