As the cold, bitter air from our Minnesota winter is here, I am always thankful for the exterior shutter that protect me from the chills and drafts that often find me during this season. You see, I sit near my computer at my work place in front of a large window. I am lucky to have a remote at my ease to adjust my shutter in all Minnesota’s extreme temperatures. The shutter is on a timer to open specifically the hours I work and closes in the evening to secure the building I work at. I often adjust the shutter by letting only the light I want in. It’s a great insulator, gives me privacy and security too.

I’m sure the shutter has saved my employer money on their heat and air conditioning bills in the summer. Minnesota’s balmy heat in the summer can heat up my office space fast. The shutter insulates me from Minnesota’s hot and humid summer afternoons. The shutter even matches the exterior of the building. When the shutter opens, it is contained in a small box above the window and blends in with the facade of the building.
