These Energy Efficient Window Treatments Will Actually Save You Money
Not only are window treatments able to adapt to any home design aesthetic, but they also help you save money by lowering your energy bills. According to energy.gov, about 30% of a home’s heating energy is lost through windows. This percentage can be dramatically decreased with the addition of window treatments. While the initial installation may be costly, your wallet will ultimately benefit from the insulation provided during the winter months and controlled solar heat gain in the summer.
Let’s take a look at three energy-efficient window treatments your home needs.
3 Hunter Douglas Energy Efficient Window Treatments
SONNETTE® Cellular Roller Shades
The Hunter Douglas Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades are an extremely energy-efficient choice for your home. While the Sonnette® looks like a simple roller shade, it’s constructed from two layers of fabric that help diffuse the light in your home. It’s that second layer that adds additional energy efficiency due to its ability to insulate your home in the winter and cool it in the summer.
DUETTE® Honeycomb Shades
Another innovative window treatment that will insulate your home all year is the Duette® Honeycomb Shades. These cellular shades were the first of their kind to be specially engineered into a honeycomb shape, providing energy efficiency in both cold and warm climates. Their unique shape traps air in distinct pockets, creating that insulation.
Duolite® Modern Roman Shades
The Hunter Douglas Duolite® Modern Roman shades are crafted from luxurious fabrics and soft folds to create a uniform aesthetic—perfect for those with a minimalist interior aesthetic. It’s constructed with a room-darkening back panel which provides additional energy efficiency.
