Insulated Window Shades
Have you ever heard of insulating for the heat? While many think of insulated window shades as something meant for cold weather, the truth is they are just as useful in the heat. Insulated window shades optimize indoor temperatures during the summer and in warmer climates in two ways. First, they block incoming solar heat so that it cannot permeate your home’s interior. Second, they help keep air conditioning inside so residents can enjoy every last cool breeze instead of letting their pricy AC escape out unprotected windows. By blocking energy in or out of the underlying windows, insulated shades help improve the energy efficiency of a home. In turn, this reduces a home’s carbon footprint and monthly energy bills by creating an interior environment that needs less artificial means to stay comfortable.
What to Look for in Insulated Window Shades
There are lots of insulating shades on the market with varying levels of protection. However, what the best insulated shades all have in common are three features that help make them uber efficient, incredibly stylish, and easy to use.
- Cellular Construction: In window treatments, cellular construction is a unique solution to the problem of energy loss. Using trapped pockets of air built into the shade itself, cellular shades act as a layer of insulation and block unwanted energy transfer.
- Layers of Protection: Sometimes, the best insulated shades start with a cellular honeycomb shade and are completed with a layer of full drapery on top. With a multi-tiered approach, you get dimensions of texture and complementing fabrics as well as better insulation and light control.
- State-of-the-art Systems: When looking for new insulating window shades, choose styles with a motorization option for their operating system. Motorization makes shades easier to use and more precise in their movements, which can improve the overall efficiency of any insulated window shade.
The Classic Cellular Shade
Duette® Honeycomb Shades offer a classic cellular design engineered for year-round efficiency. Duette Honeycomb Shades have single or double-cell design and are available with a range of state-of-the-art operating systems, including PowerView® Automation for motorized insulating shades and Duolite® for advanced light control.
Hybrid Cellular Shades
Hunter Douglas has also expanded their collection of insulated window shades to include hybrid models that add the cellular construction of their classic honeycomb design to Roman and roller shades. Solera® Soft Shades have the classic look of Roman shades with an underlying cellular construction. Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades achieve their level of energy efficiency by adding a cellular construction to streamlined roller shade units. Both Solera and Sonnette hybrid cellular shades offer the benefits of cellular construction with the added fashion-forward style and additional fabric choices that come with Roman or roller shades.
