Maybe you\u2019ve been caught off guard by a chill from drafty windows. Maybe you\u2019re just ready to stop giving so much money to the heating company in the winter months. Covering your windows is one of many things you can do to keep your home warm and toasty. If you live in an especially cold climate, it helps to select window treatments that will help keep the warm air inside, where it belongs.<\/p>\n

The right window treatments can help you control the temperature in your home.<\/a><\/p>\n

Even though it is cold and wintry right now, that doesn\u2019t mean these treatments will be worthless to you when the snow melts. Window treatments that keep the frigid air out will also be a welcome addition in blocking the blazing heat come the summer months. Consider these 3 steps as a guideline on how to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home year-round. The right window coverings will save you warmth and dollars from leaking out of your windows.<\/p>\n

Step 1<\/h2>\n

Cover Those Windows<\/i><\/a><\/h3>\n

Any window covering is better than nothing when it comes to temperature control. Windows can account for 10% – 25% of heat loss in a home, so uncovered windows are an automatic source of wasted energy resources. Wood blinds<\/a>, vertical blinds<\/a>, roller<\/a> or roman shades<\/a> will all act as a mild barrier to the assertive low temperatures seeping in through your windows. Shutters are also a good option<\/a> as their frame fits tightly within the window frame to block any air coming in from cracks or damage to the window seal. The thickness of the louvers also acts as a barrier to air transmission from the cold window to the inside of the house. Custom made window treatments guarantee a close, tight fit. Don’t bother with droopy, sagging blinds from your home improvement store that sacrifice style and function. Only custom made window treatments snugly fit the unique windows in your home. Measuring and installing is easier than you think. I am reminding you that every window in your house can have subtle variances in measurement, so measure each window.<\/p>\n
