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.

Roman blinds or sometimes known as fabric shades and Roman shades are basically a piece of material that sometimes comes with a lining, hangs from the top of the window frame. Horizontal bars are threaded through the back of the blind at regular intervals. Pair of cords run down the rear of a regular Roman blind, through loops which are sewn onto each end of the horizontal bars, in order to lower and raise the blind.

Luxaflex Roman Blinds

Roman blinds are going to be the next big thing in the blind industry; becoming more popular than Roller blinds because the fabric displays a classic, luxurious feel to any room. And its deluxe system means you no longer have to have a cord and pleat to control the blind, a chain makes it much easier to operate. One thing that makes Roman aesthetically appealing is its unique orientation. It is pressed flat against any window; makes it look very clean and streamlined.

This sleek, flat orientation made Roman blinds effective light diffusers. If measured precisely to fit the window frame, like what Luxaflex can do, they tend to block out as much light from the outdoors as possible. They are really efficient for people who want to block sunlight from coming inside their rooms when they need to sleep during daytime. Moreover, the opacity of the fabric shades produces a toned down outdoor light that can make the house’s interior more cozy and romantic.
