Correct usage of から in this particular sentence


I want to make sure that I understand the basic usage of から.

If I say: まどをしめます。さむいですから。 Would this sound natural or stilted to native
speakers?




It is perfectly grammatical, and is used regularly, but it is not in the most
natural word order. から is a conjunct that heads an adverbial clause, and
adverbials appear to the left of the verb phrase in Japanese. The most natural
order is

> 寒{さむ}い(です)から窓{まど}を閉{し}めます。

The one you have splits this into two sentences, and the latter involves
inversion.
