Lower your Energy Costs with Window Treatments
Winter is a natural time to transition your home for the cooler temperatures. In the wintertime, scheduling your motorized shades to open during the day will invite natural sunlight to warm your home. With motorized window treatments, there is less need for air conditioning and heating and more opportunity for energy savings. You can save 30% on your energy bill by combining proper equipment maintenance and upgrades with recommended insulation, air sealing, and thermostat settings, while reducing environmental emissions. There’s no better time than now to start thinking about insulating those windows with energy efficient Hunter Douglas shades to keep your home warm and cozy for the winter months.
Why Hunter Douglas shades? They have a wide range of designs to fit all your needs, whether that’s style, color, privacy, light control, child safety or smart home shade automation. Not only does Hunter Douglas have all the options, they also have shades that can insulate a space, be energy efficient and also protect your floors, artwork and furniture from damaging sun rays. “As the innovator of the first cellular shade, Hunter Douglas is committed to making the most energy-efficient window treatments to save energy and keep your home comfortable.”
Clever use of layered shades, drapes and other window treatments can reduce up to 70% of your heat loss during the winter months. Custom full length lined draperies, hung as close to the window as possible, will give you more energy savings.
“Being a window covering specialist, a layered approach is the best option for residential interiors. Creating a beautiful aesthetic while providing functionality and energy efficiency for my clients is what I strive to do,” says Dorene Gomez owner of Dorene Gomez Interiors.
Medium to heavy weight fabrics with tighter weaves offer more insulation then light weight sheer fabrics. Using the correct drapery lining can also reduce heat loss. By adding a specialized thermal interlining, that is sandwiched between the drapery and lining, it can keep your drafty windows warmer in a more cost effective way.
Closing your drapery at night can also reduce heat loss through the window by up to 17%.
Having insulating window shades and drapes for your home reduces energy loss so you can stay comfortable all year long. If you are in the market for new window fashions, now is the time to buy!
