Fight Georgia Heat with New Insulated Shades
Georgia is known for its hot summers, and many homeowners seek ways to escape the heat. One of the easiest ways to do this is to stay indoors and relax in your air-conditioned residence. However, homeowners are sometimes unsatisfied with their AC unit but are unsure of what the problem is. If your air conditioner isn’t doing enough to keep your home cool during the hotter months of the year, the problem may lie within your window treatments.
Uncovered windows can result in higher-than-usual temperatures in your home. Windows can allow external heat to enter your home and diminish the cooling effect of your air conditioner. When this happens, not only will your living space be less comfortable, but it will also cause your AC to work harder, which will increasing your energy bill. To avoid this, protect your windows by investing in new insulated shades.
How Cellular Shades Work
The key to the incredible insulating power of cellular honeycomb shades lies in their unique construction and design. The treatment features interior air pockets sewn into the fabric of the shade itself like interior, horizontal vanes. These air pockets are the defining feature that provides the shades with insulation and blocks the transfer of unwanted energy through the underlying window. All styles of cellular shades use this internal, honeycomb design though their exterior aesthetics may be quite different.
How to Increase Insulating Abilities
Adding insulation to your windows allows you to keep your internal air conditioning trapped inside while blocking out external heat. In addition to purchasing new insulated shades, homeowners can construct layered window fashions to add additional insulation along with individualized style. Our favorite combination for insulation is cellular shades under full drapery.
Drapery offers full coverage over the cellular shades, blocking any light leaks around the bottom treatment’s edges and adding an additional layer of light blocking fabric to squelch energy exchange. Plus, drapery gives homeowners the opportunity for personalization with a wide range of fabric choices.
The Importance of Automation
Cellular shades have energy-efficient qualities, but they will not be able to help lower your energy consumption if they are not used correctly. To ensure your insulated shades do not go to waste, invest in PowerView® Automation from Hunter Douglas. This motorized window treatment provides homeowners with an easy way to consistently operate windows with precision. With a press of a button, you can raise or lower up to six window treatments at a time, ensuring they are properly opened or closed. PowerView® Automation also allows you to schedule opening and closing times for your windows, so even if you are away from home, you can still make sure your windows are covered during the hottest hours of the day.
Modern Style for New Insulated Shades
While classic styles of honeycomb shades like Duette® Cellular Shades continue to be popular, modern homeowners will also find the latest in new, hybrid designs in the Hunter Douglas collection of cellular shades. Sonnette® Roller Shades are a sleek combination of a cellular shade design on a roller shade base. The result is an ultra-chic cellular shade with insulation power and a smart, sophisticated aesthetic. Featuring a variety of color and a fabric options, Sonnette® Roller Shades provide homeowners with an opportunity to invest in a customizable window treatment that will seamlessly fit into their home’s interior design.
