A shutter is a movable or fixed wing mounted outside the window, serving as an additional protection, isolation and decorative element. Shutters can be made of various materials: wood, metal or plastics. They protect windows from harmful weather conditions such as rain, wind, snow and intense sunlight. They also help protect them from damage caused by storms or hailing. They provide additional thermal insulation, reducing heat losses in winter and contributing to keeping the cold indoors in summer. In addition, they can improve acoustic insulation. Shutters can also increase safety, creating an additional obstacle to potential burglars.
