Are you planning to renovate your home in Belgium? Then your windows and shutters are of great importance! By investing in good glazing and adapted shutters, you can greatly reduce heat loss and save considerably on your energy bill.

🪟 Choose the right roller shutters for better insulation
Roller shutters not only provide privacy or darkness, but also heat retention in winter and coolness in summer. What types are there?
Hinged shutters : classic and efficient. Without storage cabinet they offer approximately 10% less heat loss .
Manual roller shutters : also offer up to 10% energy savings , but the box is often poorly insulated.
Electric roller shutters : convenient, but only provide about 5% extra insulation.
Automated roller shutters : the ideal choice! They close automatically at sunset or at a time of your choice. Combined with triple glazing, you save up to 25% energy .
🔍 Double or triple glazing: a smart investment
New Windows always recommends double or triple glazing for new windows. In combination with composite shutters (wood/alu or pvc/alu) you get excellent insulation, durability and a beautiful finish.
💡 Compare your energy supplier too
A well-insulated home is one thing, but aren't you paying too much for your energy? Many Belgian households can save by switching to a better provider. Use a comparison site and choose a tariff that suits your consumption and ecological values.
🌍 Small daily habits that help
A few simple actions also make a difference:
Turn off devices completely instead of leaving them on standby.
Only start washing machines or dishwashers when they are fully loaded.
Cover pots to bring water to a boil faster.
