How To Save On Home Energy Bill
Would You Like To Save Up To 35% on Your Home Energy Bill?
I thought so!
The answer is Thermalite™ shutters from Danmer Custom Shutters!
Thermalite shutters provide substantial energy savings for the homeowners who install them.
How It Works
The reason is that Thermalite is made from non-toxic polymer material that provides up to
three times the insulation provided of wood shutters. More insulation means the heat you pay for stays inside
during the winter – and the air conditioning you REALLY pay for all summer stays in!
Tested and Proven by Independent Home Builders
Independent testing carried out by the National Association of Home Builders Research
Center shows that the R factor for Thermalite is nearly three times that of wood. This means that, compared to
wood, it takes nearly three times the amount of energy applied to one side of piece of Thermalite to raise the
temperature on the other side one degree centigrade. To be specific, the R factor for wood is just under 1, while
the R factor for Thermalite is nearly 3. The greater the R factor, the greater the capacity to insulate. (By the
way, don’t be confused if you hear someone talking about a “U factor.” The U value is the inverse of the R value,
or 1 over R. So, with U values, lower is better.)
What Does All That Mean?
Thermalite shutters are about three times better than wood at keeping you warmer in winter
and cooler in the summer. Given that wood shutters already provide far better insulation than draperies and blinds,
installing Thermalite shutters will significantly reduce your home energy costs.
What Else Makes Thermalite Unique?
In addition to saving on energy costs, Thermalite won’t crack, warp, peel, or discolor. It
has no toxic ingredients, unlike rigid vinyl, and it is flame retardant. It is also more friendly to the
environment, using less resources in production, and does not break down into toxic chemicals when they are
disposed of. And Thermalite comes with the most unique lifetime warranty in the industry, one that’s even
transferable to the next homeowner.
The Origins of Thermalite
The Thermalite story began in the mid 1980s, when David Neiman, founder of Danmer Custom
Shutters, went looking for a way to make synthetic shutter louvers that would provide better insulation and last
longer. Over time, he was able to manufacture not just the louvers but the side, top, and bottom components of the
shutter panel, along with the tilt rod. This development process required overcoming a few challenges, particularly
early on when creating long louvers that wouldn’t bow required special engineering solutions. Over time the
manufacturing process was refined, and the quality of Thermalite Shutters have continued to improve, going from
providing twice the level of insulation offered by wood to – currently – nearly three times as much. The result is
an elegant, completely non-toxic shutter, with a powerful capacity to insulate.
