Energy Efficiency of Window Blinds and Shades

Many homeowners are very concerned about maximum energy efficiency when selecting window covering products.  So, what’s most effective?

The hands down winner is the honeycomb/cellular shade.  It stands to reason that a blind with an air pocket built into the design is going to do a great job with either heat or cold.image

The light filtering fabric choices also do a good job of letting light through while insulating against heat or cold, plus stopping most UV light.  This can reduce the need for higher levels of interior lighting while the room is being protected from the ravages of nature.

Window coverings can do much more than just “be pretty” or protect your privacy.  They can also increase the energy efficiency of your home.
