Here's a fresh look at the features that put Hunter Douglas Summerwind Shutters in a class of their own.

 

Shutters with Waterdrops. Click to see larger image. Waterproof
Water can be a destructible force around bathrooms, kitchens and other high humidity areas. The wrong types of materials in these spaces may rust, crack, mildew and even warp. Fortunately, Summerwind Shutters resist all of these damaging effects - making them the perfect choice for water-prone environments. 
  Eclipse Shutters have inhernt flame retardant characteristics. Fire Retardant
Polyresin3® has inherent flame-retardant qualities built right into the material. Without adding any coatings or coverings, Polyresin3® resists ignition and flame spread, burns at a higher temperature than many other materials, and commonly will not burn once the flame source is removed. These characteristics make Summerwind Shutters a safe option for both commercial and residential applications. 
  Color Fast
Available in three high-demand colors, Summerwind Shutters will never fade or turn yellow due to ultra-violet light or exposure. The original color will survive the life of the shutter - guaranteed. 
  Washable
Permanent marker is permanent on most surfaces, but not on Summerwind Shutters. Ink, crayon and other staining agents don't hold to the smooth surface. In most cases, soap and water is all it takes to remove unsightly blemishes - something wood and cloth just can't claim. And removing the shutters for cleaning is a breeze. From the simplicity of the two-part hinges, to its ultra-lightweight composition, this shutter system can be removed from the window by a single person within seconds - and reinstalled without needing a manual.

Summerwind Shutters are made using only pure materials. There are no recycled elements being mixed into the product. The result is that Summerwind shutters are the strongest and longest-lasting shutter you can buy —for any room or environment. The shutter system is guaranteed not to distort, crack, chip or fade. And it's backed up by Designer Blinds Limited Lifetime warranty. 
  Virtually Indestructible
Summerwind Shutters have a resilient composition. Its durable finish makes dents and scratches a rare possibility. And if the shutter does become scratched, simply buff it away using steel wool without leaving any unsightly marring. 
  Eclipse Shutters by Vinylbilt provide year-round energy efficiency.

Energy Efficient 
Summerwind Shutters are designed with hollow Polysatin construction - pockets of air designed into the louver and frame parts. These air pockets keep the individual pieces of the shutter system from transferring energy as quickly as solid construction would do.

U-Factor = 0.29

R-Value - The measure of a materials resistance to heat flow. The higher a materials R-Value, the greater the insulating properties. 
U-Factor - A measure of how well heat is transferred into or out of a building. U-Factor is the opposite of R-Value. The lower the U-Factor,
 the more heat remains in a home on a cold day.
