In the U.S. alone, the Department of Energy (DOE) reports that windows can account for up to 25% of your annual heating and cooling bill and a staggering 40% in older homes. What can you do to make your home more energy efficient? Choosing the right energy-efficient window treatment is a great place to start. Watch this video for more info:
Hunter Douglas is the world leader in innovation and the developer of the most energy-efficient window treatments that significantly reduce energy loss and also protect the environment. It’s a win-win — keep your family comfortable while saving on heating and cooling costs!
What is the Best Energy Efficient Window Treatment?
By far, honeycomb shades are the most energy-efficient window treatment to minimize the amount of inside air that escapes out your window, cutting your energy bill. Hunter Douglas has taken honeycomb shades to a whole new level with its Duette® Architella® honeycomb shades featuring patented honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb construction and three air pockets reduce heat flow at the window. Choose from hundreds of fabrics, colors, and textures, as well as cordless or motorized options for enhanced child and pet safety.
While honeycomb shades provide the best thermal performance, Hunter Douglas Vignette® Tiered™ Architella® shades provide a different look and are another wonderful option in energy efficient window treatments. These shades feature rear fabric air pockets that trap air, creating an extra layer of insulation. Available in numerous fabrics, Vignette Tiered Architella shades stack at the top of the window and have no exposed rear cords for a clean look.
For greater energy efficiency, your window treatment should be as close to the window as possible. Preferably, blinds or shades should be mounted inside the window frame. If mounting your window treatment on the inside is not an option, adding drapery panels will add more insulation in the winter and keep the cold air out and the heat in. Depending on a number of factors such as season, light, fresh air and view, Timan Custom Window Treatments in Cleveland can help you find the perfect energy efficient window treatment that will not only save you money, but enhance the look of your home.
