Installing window treatments are the smartest way to save energy consumption. They are proven to make you energy bills dramatically go down especially from heater and air-conditioning during winter and summer months. They provide insulation during the cold winter months as well as keep away the heat during the summer. The benefits of preventing the sun’s heat during hot summer seasons include, reduced energy consumption, lower energy bills, less fading of your interior furnishings and a more steady and comfortable temperature inside your home.

The energy efficiency of window coverings is measured in R-values, like insulation. The higher the R-value, the more it will protect your home from heat loss; making your rooms comfortably warmer. When looking for window treatments that will block out the hot sun, you’ll want to consider the “shading coefficient” of different alternatives. The Shading Coefficient is a measure of the ability of the window treatment to lessen the solar heat gain. The lower the number, the less solar heat will enter your home and the lower your energy bills will be.

There are several window treatments available in the market today that are energy-efficient. Honeycomb cell shades or Duettes and wood/faux wood blinds are the best in conserving energy rather than roller shades and aluminum blinds. Cellular or honeycomb construction. The cells of a honeycomb shade really trap the cold air, decreasing the intensity of the temperature as it goes in the room. And this, in turn, helps lessen the amount of heat that’s drawn to your windows. Honeycomb shades have R-values between 2.0 and 4.8, and shading co-efficient between 0.44 and 0.21.

Other window treatments that are energy efficient are window quilts, draperies, roman shades, hardwood shutters and wood blinds. Window quilts offer air and moisture-tight fabric along with 4-sided seals. Draperies and Roman Shades can be thermally lined to increase efficiency depending on fabric, lining and pleating. Hardwood shutters and wood blinds are proven to be effective too in energy conservation because of its insulating capabilities.

If you’re going to look at a Dim-out Blinds, at it’s most basic,this style of window covering is simply a squared sheet of fabric, attached to a roller tube; restricted to being lowered or raised, stopping at midway position. Like any roller blind, it is the most popular selling style of all time, offering the simplicity people have always desired. It takes up very little space inside windows and can be rolled up into a very small unobtrusive appearance.

Apart from a heavy duty curtain, dim-out blinds are the most efficient solution in blocking out sunlight.  In commercial situations they are mainly used for functional reasons where room darkening is a necessity – conference rooms, audio visual, medical (X-rays etc.), and also for hotel bedrooms. In domestic scenes they are used primarily in bedrooms/children’s’ rooms where light access and light pollution are a problem.

Most people want blinds or any window covering that can stop light from coming inside the room; while some prefer window covering that give them ultimate privacy. There are a lot of ways in order to get these client’s needs: unwanted light and privacy. One great way to do it is to install a Vertilux Premium 118 Blackout Roller shades. Your conventional roller shade has an opaque type of fabrics used; therefore it can not stop lights from entering a room. The common roller shade available in the market are made up of not so thick fabrics that can only help in combining shades and lights for your room, giving it a soft tone; never a total blackout.

Vertilux Premium 118" Blackout

The Vertilux Premium 118 Blackout is more than it appears to be. They are a thicker grade of fabrics (used in roller shades) than you normally see with other common roller shades. This type of fabric, when used in a window covering, is specially made to practically block lights from entering the room. The special fabric used is thick enough that no light can pass through. Due to the thickness of the fabric, it only do not stops light from getting inside, but it can also be great in providing privacy you have always wanted.

The Vertilux Premium 118 Blackout Roller shades are not only a wide option for total light blocking with flame retardant properties. It is more than a fabric that will hang flat and roll up straight onto the tube. Premium 118 Blackout is a material that the industry has been waiting for to control the light on larger windows, and perform like a roller shade should (providing ultimate privacy), all in one. While it may look like a very simple product, Premium 118 Blackout is truly outstanding.
