We put these on our front windows- really lovely!!!

@countjade Месяц назад

My issue with shutters is they only work when shut, thus effectively negating the window. It is 1 step removed from just not putting in a window.

@HowToBuildYourOwnHome Месяц назад

When it is cold outside, dark winter nights, yes shut them. My mom loves to open in the morning and shut at night.

love the creative solution type videos like this Keith. a big thing I like on your channel is the different perspective, new ways of thinking about things

Glad to help.

Exterior Awnings > Interior Shutters

@Krazie-Ivan Месяц назад

yep, calculated overhangs... deciduous trees... shade-screens... tilt/turn or casement for egress, otherwise picture, and never slide windows/doors... proper site placement & design... and even the "double-double" method for extreme cases.

@r.j.bedore9884 Месяц назад

This is true for summer, but awnings won't help much in the winter.

@HowToBuildYourOwnHome Месяц назад

That's cool

@a104917 Месяц назад

@@r.j.bedore9884 agreed, if i had to choose i'd prefer to plan to prevent unwanted heat gain rather than plan to receive passive heat benefits. Im from the desert so I might be biased lol

@AaronHope_Sow Месяц назад

Would focus on a similar solution for the exterior or ceramic film for more UV and solar heat gain reduction

@HowToBuildYourOwnHome Месяц назад

Great thought

@chrismarfia9917 Месяц назад

You should look at VIG glass windows. Luxewall and kolbe windows will have a residential product soon. R15-20

@HowToBuildYourOwnHome Месяц назад

Cool info. Thanks

@JohnLee-db9zt Месяц назад

That’s would they said 2 years ago. Not available for residential homes last time I checked. And I bet you it’s gonna cost you arm and a leg.

@xuerian Месяц назад

Hopefully a non-plastic alternative to this shows up, it's a nice concept. Awnings/exterior shade is nice, but it doesn't provide the cold insulation increase this does.

@Krazie-Ivan Месяц назад

look up the "double-double" window method. works great with thick envelope wall structures like staggered stud, hempcrete, rammed earth, & ICF. r20's +++ while maintaining your view & natural light.

@HowToBuildYourOwnHome Месяц назад

That's interesting info. Thanks

@marshaperry5178 Месяц назад

Are they blackout at night?

@HowToBuildYourOwnHome Месяц назад

Shutters yes, not so much for blinds

@Somewhere-In-AZ Месяц назад

Shutters are nice.

@HowToBuildYourOwnHome Месяц назад

I agree

@JohnLee-db9zt Месяц назад

Looks too traditional. Anything that would fit a modern style house?

@rodm5830 Месяц назад

I bet those aren’t cheap.

@paddymac4545 Месяц назад

if you are truly looking for energy efficiency then shutters need to be on the exterior of the window. weather stripping on the interior shutters? lol

@HowToBuildYourOwnHome Месяц назад

Yes, these shutters do have a weather stripping inside, less maintenance on the inside and you can easily shut them.
