Owning a home is no small feat. Chances are, you’ve had to do your research on the best energy efficient options for the products you’re buying. One top consideration is the windows of your home. They can let in a considerable amount of light, heat and harmful UV rays. Let’s explore the choices you have when it comes to covering them…
Features That Deliver the Best Energy Efficient Results
When choosing window coverings, benefits come from more than just the type of covering you choose. The features you select can increase the energy efficiency of your home.
Smart Home Control
Open to let in the warm morning sunshine. Close as the temps start to heat up. Intuitive control means that your shades are programmed to adjust in an effort to keep your home comfortable all across the day.
Dual Design
The two-in-one shade system of dual shades is a great way to make your home more energy efficient. You’ll get increased comfort, but you’ll also enjoy the spaces in your home more since the lighting will be customized.
Unique Shapes
Specialty windows and doors can often go uncovered because many homeowners don’t want to sacrifice the design–or, they just aren’t sure how to cover. Custom window coverings are designed intentionally for those tricky windows, and you’ll be able to avoid energy loss.
Top Down
Illuminating light comes into your home, but the bulk of the window remains covered for temperature, privacy and glare control.
How Do They Work?
Innovative Insulation
The cellular structure of honeycomb shades traps the air, acting as insulation. Other products prevent air flow by blocking it with fabrics, which also blocks the direct rays.
Detailed Design
Additional elements can be added to increase efficiency. Side channels guide the sides of the shades up and down during adjustments. But when closed completely, light and heat can be sealed off.
Smart Adjustments
You may already have smart home features. Smart shades integrate easily with your system to help your home reach its potential!
Excellent Craftsmanship
The best energy efficient window coverings are designed to withstand the elements. Exclusive finishes and fabrics are used to prevent damage and maintain a fresh appearance.
Our Favorites!
Honeycomb Shades
The highest rated energy efficient window coverings in the industry, cellular shades offer award-winning insulation against the natural elements.
Plantation Shutters
Framing the window to prevent light and air movement, shutters are an excellent way to protect your home.
Roman Shades
Some of the best energy efficient products are that way simply due to the fabric choices. Roman shades have prevented air and light from entering the home due to high quality fabrics with the right opacities.
Draperies
Draped fabrics at the window can be an important way to block light and heat. Often used to frame the sides of the window with beauty and style, custom drapes can also play a role in protecting the interiors of your home.
Roller Shades
Rollers have a long-standing reputation for blocking the sun, which can help keep out the heat. But, in an effort to increase that efficiency, Hunter Douglas introduced a new concept. The Sonnette™ collection combines the simple function of the roller shade with cellular pockets to trap the air, insulating your home.
