The glass that starts the enquiry

House installs on rear doors and street-facing bedrooms where noise, not heritage, is the complaint.
The worked opening for External roller shutters in Newcastle is 1.5 m wide by 1.2 m high, 1.8 square metres of glass. This figure puts 520 watts per square metre on the pane and uses a g-value of 0.7, about 655 watts into the room if the curtain is up. An opaque external shutter, taken as stopping 85 percent of that gain while it is fully down, leaves about 98 watts and keeps about 557 watts out. That is a noon figure for comparison. An internal blind does not get the same reduction. For External roller shutters in Newcastle, use the noon figure to compare two openings on the same house, then let a measured survey replace the figure.

Winter figure for External roller shutters in Newcastle: glass at 1.4 W/m2K, 1.8 square metres, a 12 degree inside-outside gap and eight night hours.
