Energy-Efficient Shades for Winter

Even though summer seems like yesterday, we are officially in the midst of the holiday season. This not only means beautiful light strewn about homes, our favorite festive songs coming back on the radio, and getting out those holiday decorations while we bake cookies, but it also means dropping temperatures. While we love a good snowy day outside, we don’t want that cold to follow us inside our home. If you find that certain rooms in your home are increasingly chilly throughout the winter seasons, no matter how high you crank that heating, the room might suffer from poor insulation. In fact, windows are the number one culprit for energy loss in homes. This is especially true if they are not well insulated. This results in your home’s air seeping out and the outside air creeping in, transforming the room into a chilly tundra in the winter and a sweltering sauna in the summer. Fortunately, Hunter Douglas offers a variety of the best energy-efficient shades for the winter and the summer. Read on to find the best insulating window treatments for your home.
