Layers will keep your windows warm this season. If you’ve been thinking about how to keep warm this winter without cranking up the thermostat, you’ve in the right place. Be prepared for any harsh weather coming your way. It is ideal to have what you need to stay warm and cozy as these bitter months knock on our door. It’s not all about sealing windows, inspecting heating vents, and shoving fireplace stoppers up your chimney. There are easier ways to keep your home comfortably toasty for years to come. Here are my favorite suggestions to keep your home warm and safe from winter’s chill.
Warming Cellular Shades
Any window treatment will help reduce cold air seeping in through frosty windows as 22% heat dissipation is lost through our windows. However, for the most energy efficient window treatment choice, I strongly reccomend Cellular Shades. They minimize heat loss and help you cut back on your heating bill. These shades use unique honeycombed-shaped packets to trap outside air at your windows to keep your home warm. Choose from either a Single Cell or a Double Cell for an additional layer of insulating fabric. Customization options are nearly limitless with an array of fabric colors, patterns and materials. Our Cellular Shades are modern, yet tough, and are not flimsy or paper thin. On their own, Cellular Shades are the most minimal, easy window treatment with the maximum ability to keep your house comfortable all year long.
For colder winters, you can always add lined drapery panels over the Cellular Shades. Not only do you achieve more insulating protection, but a boost for a tailored and crisp look.
Layering Woven Wood Blinds
The popularity of Woven Woods Blinds continues to grow thanks to their exceptional ability to transition into any style of room or décor. If you love the textural quality of their natural weaves and intrinsic beauty, but need maximum cold protection, add a thermal lined drapery panel. Just like layering your winter clothing accessories, thick gloves will keep your hands warm, but a fur lined hat and a knitted wool or cashmere scarf will make your whole body warmer. Layer up your Woven Wood Blinds with thermal lined drapery panel for two strong layers of fabric to provide extra weather protection. It’s like adding an electric blanket underneath your favorite down comforter.
Roman Shades
If you are looking for a more decorative look to your windows, try a Roman Shade paired with a thermal liner. This combination is sure to prevent heat loss through your windows. A liner also provides the added benefit of blocking harmful UV rays, preventing them from damaging your interior. Not only do the liners add performance value to the treatments, their weight added to the face of the fabric creates a luxuriously full look. This extra dimension of double window treatments will additionally weaken the heat loss through your windows and help to lower those costly winter heating bills.
However, Roman Shades, on their own, showcase a unique esthetic appearance. Their thick material and bound edges can withstand many frigid days that arrive with wintry temperatures. Maintain a more contemporary, sharper look that provides with extra insulation.
Don’t wait for those winter days to creep up on you. Attack cold weather before the biting subzero temperatures arrive without notice and you’re left with icicles on your windows. We have every style of window treatment in any color, size, pattern or style to meet any of your demands. Get a unique window treatment crafted your way from Blindsgalore!
