Enhancing Energy Efficiency With Cellular Shades

Did you know that the right custom window treatments can not only complement your home decor, but also lower your energy bills? Honeycomb shades, also known as cellular shades or cellular insulating blinds, are a unique type of window covering that improves the comfort of your home, keeping it warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. If you’re interested in finding a balance between elegant, beautiful window treatments and energy-efficient solutions for unwanted glare, intense natural light, and privacy concerns, honeycomb shades are the perfect choice. Let’s take a look at how cellular shades enhance energy efficiency.

Improved Interior Window Insulation

Your windows are one of the biggest energy leaks in your home. At least 30% of your home’s heating and cooling loss occurs through your windows. Glass is not a great insulator, and older windows are even worse than newer, more energy-efficient windows. Windows are also more susceptible to age-related wear and tear and damage that further reduces energy efficiency. If you live in an older or historic home, your energy bills are likely to keep creeping up year after year unless you find a solution. Energy-efficient window treatments like honeycomb shades offer a very user-friendly and attractive way to enhance the insulation of your home’s windows. Installing honeycomb shades helps you reduce your home’s annual HVAC energy use by 15%. Choosing automated, high-efficiency, or cellular insulating blinds will further reduce your energy usage and costs.

Reduced Energy Bills

Honeycomb shades offer much higher energy savings than other types of custom window treatments. They even offer higher energy savings than other types of energy-efficiency window coverings. Cellular shades or honeycomb shades are made from a pleated fabric that is folded to create cells that create a honeycomb design. These cells trap air and prevent heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. They can also reflect UV and infrared light to increase insulation and energy efficiency. Cellular shades also reduce nighttime heat loss, and reduce cold drafts and unwanted solar heat gain. When your shades are in place year-round, you can reduce your household’s total energy usage by up to 15% and save up to 10% on your annual energy bills.

Prevent Unwanted Heat Gain & Heat Loss

In the summer, honeycomb shades can reduce unwanted solar heat gain through your windows by up to 60%. In the winter, honeycomb shades can reduce unwanted heat loss through your home’s windows by 40% or more. This means that you could end up reducing your total solar gain by 20% when your shades are professionally measured and installed.

Other Benefits of Honeycomb Shades

Honeycomb shades offer a huge variety of benefits to homeowners. They are attractive, versatile, low-maintenance, and easy to layer with other custom window treatments to improve your control over privacy and light in each room. The biggest benefits of installing custom honeycomb shades in your home are:

• Cellular shades are much more energy-efficient than window blinds, curtains, draperies, and other conventional treatments.
• Cellular shades can lower your annual heating and cooling costs by up to 20%.
• You can find honeycomb shades in a wide range of colors, designs, and patterns.
• Honeycomb shades can be custom-measured and installed to fit almost any size or type of window.
• You can layer honeycomb shades with other types of custom window treatments to enhance the beauty, style, and function of each window.
• Honeycomb shades can last decades when properly cared for and regularly cleaned.
