Best Insulating Shades
The summer season brings a lot of excitement. Long days and evenings filled with pool days, blue skies, cookouts, and plenty of adventures will get anyone excited for the summer. However, there are elements to the season that aren’t so great. Hot days, for example, are excellent for days at the pool or beach. However, once we step into our homes, the last thing we want is that heat to follow us in. We have all walked into a home that feels like an oven, and it is an experience no one wants to go through twice. So, why does this happen? You have the shades drawn, the AC on … what could be going wrong? The problem and solution are often our windows.
Even if you have shades on your windows, that might not mean that they are properly insulated. This can result in your home’s cool air seeping out of your windows and outside hot air coming in and heating up your home. You can crank that AC as much as you want, but you’re still going to be left with a hot home if your windows are properly insulated. This will also result in high energy bills. Fortunately, Hunter Douglas has some of the best insulating shades on the market. Read on to find your match.
Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades
If you want a window treatment that is minimalist and powerful, then the best insulating shades for your home will be our hunter Douglas Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades. These custom window treatments offer a sleek, minimalist style at your windows that will never feel cluttered. Additionally, their cellular design traps air right on your windows so that the cool air stays in and the hot air stays out. The undetectable second layer of these shades also provides ample light control. We are happy to show you our collection of custom fabrics available with these shades so that you can create a look at your windows that you would love throughout the summer season and beyond.
Duette® Honeycomb Shades
Another option when it comes to the best insulating shades are our Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades. These shades offer insulation at two levels. At the most basic level, you can enjoy the cellular construction that helps insulate your windows and keeps your home comfortable all year long. The second level involves the design that features a honeycomb within a honeycomb. This is perfect for extra insulation for those areas in your home that are always a little too hot in the summer, a little too cold in the winter, or facing the sun the majority of the day.
