Why You Need Energy-Efficient Shades
When we add something to our homes, it’s often because it will make something better. Perhaps we will add a coffee machine that automatically starts brewing at a certain time in the morning to get us up. Or, maybe we add heated floors to make waking up during those cold mornings better. There are many ways to improve the home—including your windows.
Though they may seem like just a way to view the outside, your windows carry a lot of power in terms of your home’s comfort levels. In fact, did you know that a home’s windows are responsible for a significant percentage of your home’s energy? Without proper insulation, your windows can let in the outside air and let out your home’s inside air. Fortunately, Hunter Douglas® is here to help with energy-efficient shades.
Reason 1: Reduced Energy Bills
Do we like bills? No. Do we have to pay them anyway? Yes. Do we have to continue cringing every time our energy bills hit our accounts? Not when you add energy-efficient shades to the mix! Hunter Douglas® Duette® Cellular Shades create added insulation at your windows.
This prevents any air leakages that might happen otherwise— meaning that your home will remain warm in the winter and cool in the summer without you having to crank up the thermostat. Thanks to this natural insulation, your energy bills will fall over time.
Reason 2: Increased Comfort
Do you have that one room in your home that just never seems to feel comfortable? It’s sweltering in the summer and freezing in the winter, no matter what you do.
That is why another one of the reasons why you need energy-efficient shades is increased comfort. As mentioned, Duette® Cellular Shades trap air at your windows thanks to their cellular design. As a result, each room in your home that has these shades will remain comfortable all year long.
Reason 3: Transform Sunlight
In addition to increasing comfort and decreasing energy bills, the cellular design of Duette® Cellular Shades transforms sunlight into a gorgeous glow. This makes them perfect for rooms that are particularly sunny during the day.
Additionally, Duette® Cellular Shades provide ample room-darkening for media rooms, bedrooms, and other spaces that need extra protection from moonlight, street lamps, and car headlights. From premium light control to soothing darkness, Duette® Cellular Shades are a powerful shade that will transform the rooms in your home.
