It is important for homeowners to consider environmental sustainability when renovating or building. Insulation is an important aspect to address when considering energy efficiency, particularly window insulation.
Western Red Cedar Shutters from Open Shutters are lightweight, plantation style shutters that naturally provide a high level of insulation: one inch is equivalent to a brick.

Western Red Cedar Shutters are cut from solid pieces of timber to provide better durability and stability.
