When it comes to home energy efficiency, windows play a crucial role in regulating indoor temperatures. Without proper insulation, they can allow heat to escape in the winter and let in the summer heat, increasing energy consumption and utility bills. Fortunately, Hunter Douglas offers a range of energy efficient window shades designed to improve insulation and create a more comfortable living space year-round.
How Window Treatments Improve Energy Efficiency
Hunter Douglas window treatments are designed to provide insulation, light control, and UV protection while enhancing the aesthetics of any room. By reducing heat transfer, they help keep a more consistent indoor temperature, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling. This can translate into lower energy costs and a reduced carbon footprint.
Energy Efficient Window Shades from Hunter Douglas
Duette® Honeycomb Shades
One of the most innovative and energy-efficient options available, and our favorite, are the Duette® Honeycomb Shades. They feature a unique cellular design that traps air in distinct pockets and provides an extra layer of insulation at the window. This helps keep homes warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. The Duette Architella® collection takes this insulation a step further with a honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb design, maximizing energy savings.Sonnette®
