Home energy efficiency: how Pracal shutters contribute

Sustainable living is no longer a topic for insiders: it concerns those who build, those who renovate, and those who live in their homes every day. Less waste, more comfort, lower utility bills and a smaller environmental impact. Homeenergy efficiency comes through many choices: from load-bearing structures to shutters.

Thermal insulation and consumption reduction: how shutters make a difference

Pracal's aluminum and steel insulated shutters play an important role in optimizinghome energy efficiency by directly intervening in the management of indoor temperatures.

With high- or medium-density polyurethane insulation, the shutter sheets, when lowered, create an effective barrier between the interior and exterior of the home, reducing heat exchange during both summer and winter.

This translates into real savings in energy consumption for cooling and heating the house. Better insulation means less leakage and, consequently, less energy required to maintain a comfortable environment.

According toENEA, the adoption of solar shading and blackout closures contributes to improving the energy efficiency of buildings. Pracal, with its insulated aluminum shutters, from solutions that meet these criteria and can have a positive impact on consumption, especially when integrated into a larger redevelopment project. A smart investment in the long run.

Home energy efficiency: what does it really mean?

Talking about energy efficiency means understanding how well a building manages to provide living comfort while minimizing consumption. In Italy-and throughout Europe-this assessment is translated into energy classes, ranging from G (the least efficient) to A4 (the best performing).

The European goal is clear: By 2030, all new buildings must be nearly zero energy buildings (nZEB), while existing buildings must be upgraded to reduce waste and environmental impacts. Every building element, such as shutters, plays a decisive role.

Our roller shutters are certified according to the standards UNI EN 13659 e UNI EN 13125, which certify respectively:

• wind resistance
• Excellent performance in terms of insulation and energy conservation.

We are talking about a blackout system that, by lowering the shade, makes every home more efficient, thanks to the advanced technology of each shutter that reduces consumption and saves on every bill.

Silence, privacy, comfort: more quality for indoor environments

Comfort is not only measured in degrees, but also in quietness. A truly comfortable home is one in which temperatures are stable, outside noise stays out, and privacy is guaranteed at all times of the day.

Pracal shutters, thanks to their polyurethane foam insulated structure, improve not only thermal insulation but also acoustic insulation, shielding the interior from traffic, disturbing noises and external sound variations. The result is a more cozy, relaxing and protected environment-a quality of life that is felt every day.

Available in a wide range of models, colors and finishes, Pracal aluminum roller shutters fit in perfectly with all kinds of projects, from more contemporary architecture to renovations in more classic settings.

Installed on modern window frames or more traditional solutions, they help define the character of the facade, with an understated and functional design that discreetly furnishes without sacrificing protection and efficiency.
