What are window shutters used for
Window shutters are external covers that match window frames. They control the amount of sunlight that enters a room – they ensure that the interior does not overheat in summer and does cool down in winter. House window shutters provide privacy, security and protect against harsh weather conditions or unwanted intrusion or damage. They may also enhance the aesthetics of a building and be perfectly adapted to the requirements and function of the building.

Which window shutters
Each type of window shutters requires a different preparation procedure. Whether you decide on external Venetian blinds or roller shutters, you have to remember that they are construction products, and they must meet specific building requirements. Appropriate preparation of openings should primarily provide:
- Sufficient space for assembly
- Proper isolation of the contact points of the product elements with the wall
- Free access for service inspections
Depending on the solution selected, window shutters may also perform other important functions. External roller shutters have excellent thermal insulation properties, while external Venetian blinds help to adjust the amount of sunlight entering your rooms.
