Energy Efficient

While almost anything you put in your window will help block the heat of the sun in summer and reduce heat loss in winter, not all blinds and shades are created equal when it comes to insulating your home.  To help you find the best insulating window blinds for your needs, we have identified these particular insulating window treatments that are especially energy efficient.

Installing an energy-efficient window treatment in your home is not only good for your pocketbook, but good for the environment as well.  By reducing your heating and air conditioning needs, you are also helping to reduce the demand for energy and the byproducts of its production.  Blocking harmful UV rays also protects your home furnishings, further saving you money.

things to consider:

Since the shades need to be drawn to cover the window and provide insulating results, you might consider solar screens for windows where you would like to keep your view or still need some natural light.  Layering your window treatments is another way to get the benefits of some insulation and UV protection while still controlling the amount of light and your style.  Choosing a product with a top down/bottom up option is also a great option for balancing lighting and insulating needs.
