Hello everyone,
I’m curious how often you use your roller shutters and how much added value they provide for you.
At the moment, we hardly ever use ours, and after renovating our house, I can’t see why that would change (especially since the energy-saving aspect will almost disappear).
So, I’m considering leaving out the roller shutters (one less thermal bridge) and instead installing decorative, non-functional shutters.
Best regards
SoL

I also recommend checking the lighting situation around the house. In both my parents' home and our current apartment, my/our bedroom was partly lit directly by street lighting. For some, a sheer blind is enough in those cases, but I’m glad to have a roller shutter. In an apartment we lived in between, for example, it was less of an issue.

In a passive house, cooking should be allowed in summer, right?Apparently not, otherwise the sister would regret it.
Why do people even doubt something like this?

This is great in winter, but without shading, it can quickly become too warm in summer.
Overhangs and similar features can help reduce this effect somewhat, but especially in the morning and evening, when the sun is low, sunlight still shines directly inside.

The bigger problem is usually in winter when they’re heating and have guests over. You basically feel like you’re suffocating when suddenly there are 8 people instead of 2 in the living room because the heat has nowhere to go. =)Similar topics
