Combat energy prices with Oxford shutter installation
Let’s face it, most of us are worried about rising energy prices. The cost of living is going up, and the cost of living is hugely dependent on what happens with the price of energy. With the average household predicated on spending around £3500 on energy bills by the end of 2022, the fact that energy is the biggest expense is no longer surprising.
Homes are generally much warmer these days. With temperatures outside getting hotter and buildings retaining more heat, it’s not a surprise to know that, particularly in urban and more built-up areas, temperatures can sometimes be up to 10 degrees hotter. Many of us try to open a window, install an air-con or use fans to try and blow some cooler air into our homes. Unfortunately, this can often just blow hotter air into the room, and we need to find an alternative that works.
Luxury an Oxford shutter installation helps to block the direct sunlight that streams in during the day. Not only can shutters help keep the sun out, but during the winter months, they can block the draught that comes in through your windows, keeping your home much warmer during those colder evenings.

Our beautiful blinds will only enhance your home interior
Having trouble finding that perfect sofa, carpet, or even blinds to fit the style of your room? Here at The Oxford Shutter Company, we understand how difficult it can be to find those elusive finishing touches that really make a space your own. That’s why we’ve put together this handy guide to choosing the right blinds for your home. With our tips and advice, choosing the right blinds will be a breeze!
Key benefits of our unique blinds
Control your privacy levels – For those of us who have front-facing windows that look out onto busy streets or pedestrian pathways, it can often feel like you are living in a goldfish bowl. Whilst passers-by want to admire your interior; you don’t always want people looking into your home! Window additions give you the luxury of shutting off your home to onlookers, leaving you free to relax in your living room in the evening without everyone else watching your TV as well!
Regulate the levels of natural light in your room – Not only can window coverings make your home feel more private, but they will also allow you to control the amount of natural light that floods your home throughout the day. For those who have the sun beaming in through their windows all day, this can feel nice in the winter months but can often be overbearing in the summer months when it’s much hotter. Closing your blinds during the hotter periods of the day can cool down your home and protect your furniture from any sun damage.
Improve the overall look and feel of your home – It’s amazing how some well-chosen blinds can make a complete difference to the look and feel of a room. Once upon a time, windows and their coverings were mostly functional and not overly pretty to look at, but that’s all changed! Now you can find the perfect covering for your window that is not only practical for your home but adds a beautiful touch of decoration as well.
Increase the value of your home to buyers – If you plan to sell your home at some point in the future and you are not going to take your window additions with you, then you could increase the value of your home by choosing some beautiful blinds now. Not only will your home look more appealing than others (thanks to the decor of your blinds), but you will be leaving behind a practical solution that can often be a big cost when homeowners first move in!
