All Season Window Blinds

Glass windows, whether single, double or triple panes, are known for being poor in retaining or regulating air temperatures. Covering your windows with window dressings will adequately insulate your home from the outdoor elements. So your energy bills are going to be lower.

Environmentally Friendly and Energy Efficient

Window blinds can make your home more environmentally friendly and energy efficient. It will help you save on energy bills all year. While all types of blinds offer some form of insulation, some styles are more effective than others. 

Cellular blinds are a particularly effective insulating window treatment option. Thanks to their honeycomb shapes that create air pockets within the cell.

Even the type of cellular blinds you install will also affect interior air temperature. A single cell light filtering cellular shade is made with less insulating material than that of a single cell blackout shade. Not surprisingly, when you have double cell honeycomb shades, the insulation properties are even better. The double air pockets create another layer of protection to prevent temperate air to travel through. 

A significant amount of energy expenditure can also be lost. It is due to ill-fitting cellular blinds that leave gaps on each side of the window. To avoid this, make sure your window cell shade is the right size to completely cover the window area. 

The insulating barrier of cellular blinds provides excellent temperature retention. The pleated air pockets also provide a highly effective sound barrier. That will decrease noise impacts from nearby traffic or loud neighbours. That makes this unique and distinctive blind an all-around great choice when it comes to window dressings.
