Save Energy with Insulating Window Treatments

With the weather getting cooler, it's time to start thinking about how to save energy. One of the best ways to do this is by insulating your windows. Insulating window treatments are an excellent way to keep heat in during the winter and cool air out during the summer months, which means you'll be more comfortable throughout the year.

Insulating window treatments help you stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer

Insulate your windows to save energy and stay comfortable all year round. In the winter, you've got to keep the heat in your house at a low temperature, or else you'll freeze! The same goes for summer - when it is blazing hot outside, you don't want to waste electricity on an air conditioner or fans. Adding insulating window treatments into your home will ensure that your house stays the temperature you want.

Insulating window treatments are made from materials and designed in specific ways to block heat transfer so that whenever you turn on your heater or air conditioning, you are changing the temperature of your house and not the entire neighborhood. This extra insulation will ensure you are more comfortable year-round, no matter the weather. Plus, you'll save some money on your electricity bill with all the energy you saved at your windows!

Honeycomb Shades are an excellent option for energy-saving window treatments

Of all of the different kinds of insulating window treatments, Honeycomb Shades are the most well-known. Honeycomb Shades are an excellent option for energy-saving window treatments since they have been specifically designed to provide insulation.

Take, for example, the Duette® Cellular Shades from Hunter Douglas. These industry-leading and innovative cellular shades offer all of the standard features of honeycomb shades in addition to high-quality fabrics, designer colors and patterns, and outstanding quality. These shades will not only make your home literally feel better, but they will also transform the atmosphere of your home into the perfect combination of classy and comfy.

Styles of Honeycomb Shades

If you need more options for cellular shades, there are more than plenty. For homeowners looking for just the basics - straight lines, neutral colors, simple patterns - Hunter Douglas  Sonnette® Roller Shades are the option for you. These shades combine the ease of operation of roller shades with the energy efficiency of cellular construction for the ultimate clean and simple window treatment.

If, instead, you need something that will add a bit of class and sophistication to your home, Hunter Douglas Solera® Roman Shades are precisely what you are looking for.
