Energy Efficient Window Treatments for the Heat
When talking about energy efficiency in the south, protecting against the cold or worrying about freeze control is not a priority. In Miami, energy efficient window treatments need to be able to deal with the heat and humidity of our southern climate. So, don’t be fooled by a general “energy efficient” label on window treatments, not all are equal when it comes to increasing the overall energy efficiency (and thus cost-saving value) for a home in Florida.
Hunter Douglas has several energy efficient window treatments that can help reduce energy waste, harness natural light, and gain better control over the energy efficiency of the entire home.
Additionally, Hunter Douglas window treatments are stylish and contemporary, and the window design experts at South Kendal Interiors can help you customize and design window treatments that are perfectly in-line with your home's interior design aesthetic as well as being energy efficient.
Duette® Honeycomb Shades are a great example of an aesthetically pleasing shade that is also extremely energy efficient. Duette® Shades trap a layer of insulating air in their unique honeycomb shape and were the first cellular shade designed specially to improve energy efficiency in both hot and cold climates. Another added benefit of Duette® Honeycomb Shades is their LightLock™ operating system that increases room darkening capabilities for the shade. Blocking natural light is another important element of heat control in the south (especially in summer), and so Duette® Honeycomb Shades offer two levels of protection making it a great energy efficient window treatment for homes in Miami.
Those in the south, or any area of the country that gets a lot of sunlight, know that a key for heat control in the summer is being able to block natural light and the solar heat that it brings. On the other hand, in cooler winter months being able to allow some natural light to enter so that you can benefit from the free warming it provides is also beneficial. That’s why climate specific shutters, like Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters from Hunter Douglas, are great for energy efficient window treatments; they allow for both complete blockage of light when closed or the moderated admittance of light when open. Moreover, Palm Beach™ plantation shutters are designed for performance and durability in hot and humid climates thanks to their trademarked UV-resistant material, which also protects your home’s interior and items like furniture, flooring, and artwork from the harmful effects of direct sunlight.
However, even the best shade is useless if it’s not used properly. So, it is incredibly important that your shades are easy to use with an operating system that is conducive to control and convenience. Most Hunter Douglas shades can be upgraded with PowerView® Automation, which allows for the easy and convenient control of shades through motorized maneuverability that can be controlled via remote, a hardwired wall interface, an app on a smartphone, or tablet, or integrated into a smart-home system. Additionally, many smart-home systems have temperature sensing capabilities and when coordinated with PowerView® Automations your new energy efficient window treatments can be programmed to open or close in response to temperature cues, maximizing their usefulness.
So, if you live in the Miami area and you want to save money on your energy bills by upgrading to energy efficient window treatments contact the window experts at South Kendall Interiors today. Their friendly and experienced staff of design experts can help you select energy efficient window treatments and customize them to match your home’s interior design. South Kendall Interiors is located near Miami, Florida, and serves all of the greater Miami area. Request your consultation today and start on the path to greater energy efficiency today.
