Best Energy Efficient Shades for Homes

As much as we love summers in Ohio, there is no doubt that they are hot and humid. That is why we often crank up our air conditioning units and dread the incoming high energy bills at the end of the month. As summer starts to fade into fall, we might start to look forward to reduced energy bills. Of course, those beautiful mild autumn days will soon shift into frigid winters where we will have to increase the temps our thermostats. This, unfortunately, just continues the cycle of high energy bills. Does this mean we have to settle in despair each summer and winter?

Best Energy Efficient Shades for Homes, Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades near Beachwood, Ohio (OH)

Not at all.

In fact, Hunter Douglas offers one of the best energy efficient shades on the market that adds extra insulation at each window in your home. Read on to learn more about our Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades.

Window Insulation 101

Did you know that a high percentage of your home’s heating and cooling can escape through your windows if they are not properly covered? Think of it this way: If you walk out into a frigid snowstorm wearing nothing but a cardigan, your body’s internal heating will escape and leave you feeling very cold. The same can be applied to your windows.

If you find that your home is particularly hot in the summer or especially cold in the winter, your window treatments might not be properly insulating your home. This will lead to cold air escaping to the outside during the summer and warm air creeping outside during the winter. You are basically throwing money out the window when it comes to energy bills. Fortunately, Duette® Cellular Shades take care of this problem, which is why they are one of the best energy efficient shades you can buy.

Adding Duette® Cellular Shades

Duette® Cellular Shades work by trapping air within its cellular construction right at your windows. This means that your cool air will stay inside of your home during the summer and your warm air will stay inside during the winter. With this added insulation, your home will be heated or cooled naturally, and you will not have to crank up the thermostat or AC. Overtime, this will result in lower energy bills. That is what makes these window treatments some of the best energy efficient shades.

Of course, what good is a window treatment if you don’t like how it looks in your home? Another one of the benefits of Duette® Cellular Shades is that they offer a wide range of cellular pleat sizes, opacities, colors, textures, and operating systems. Whether you want something with a dark opacity for total shade in your media room or you want a pop of color that stands out in your living room, these cellular shades can be made to fit your aesthetic desires. They can even be cut to shape specialty windows, including skylights.
