Today, bedrooms in 15.7 million UK homes fail overheating criteria according to Arup/the Climate Change Committee.
The number of UK homes overheating in summer quadrupled to 80% over the past decade, according to a new study...read more
A clear correlation between excessive heat and cold can be seen with increases in excess mortalities. Year over year, as global temperatures become more extreme, the number of excess mortalities grows.
The need to protect against heat loss and heat gain is increasing year over year.
How our thermal shutters can help – We’ve got the stats to prove it!
Our thermally insulated shutters provide insulation against cold and heat, making them beneficial not just in winter, but also in summer, by keeping homes cooler and reducing the need for air conditioning.
Stats covering July - September:
Across all 3 months:
Average temperature in room with shutters: 25.2°C
Average temperature in room without shutters: 28.1°C
Why buy a Thermal Shutter?
With modern homes becoming increasingly well-insulated to conserve heat during the winter, it's easy to overlook the critical need for cooling in the summer. With global temperatures rising, homes are more likely to experience overheating during summer months. Alarmingly, studies predict that by the mid-2030s, a staggering 90% of existing homes will face overheating risks.
Introducing Dunster House Thermal Shutters!
Our innovative thermal shutters provide year-round comfort by addressing both heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. Unlike standard shutters, they are designed with advanced insulation technology to improve energy efficiency in all seasons.
In summer, the shutters act as a barrier, reducing solar heat gain and keeping your home cooler by minimising the amount of heat that enters. In winter, they trap heat inside, preventing it from escaping through windows and helping you reduce energy costs.

Environmental Benefits
Our Thermal Shutters significantly reduce the need for air conditioning in the summer and artificial heating in the winter, helping to lower your energy consumption. This leads to a smaller carbon footprint, reduced harmful emissions, and a more sustainable home. By choosing our energy-efficient shutters, you're making a conscious decision to reduce your environmental impact.
Health Benefits
By minimising the circulation of dust, allergens, and pollutants typically spread by HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, our Thermal Shutters significantly improve indoor air quality. This creates a healthier living space with reduced exposure to irritants.
Maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature with our Thermal Shutters also promotes relaxation and reduces stress, further boosting health and daily comfort.
