New Window Treatments Just in Time for Summer

18 Jun New Window Treatments Just in Time for Summer

Palm trees, crashing waves, sand between your toes, the sun in your face­. The wonders and beauty of South Florida summers.   But sometimes, summer can be a bit much, with the rising temperatures, and increase in energy bills to create a comfortable interior space.

Did you know that over 30% of cooling energy is lost through your windows? Choosing the right window treatments can help you have a cool, comfortable and energy efficient summer.

Cellular Shades

Cellular Shades, also known as Honeycomb shades offer a clean and simple look with the advantage of insulation.

Cellular/ Honeycomb shades have unique pockets that mimic the shape of a honeycomb (hence their name). These pockets help trap in air, preventing cool air from escaping from your windows, and blocking warm air from entering in. With the proper installation (done by a professional), honeycomb shades can reduce up to 80% of unwanted solar heat from entering your home or office, which in turn can lead to 15% in energy savings.

Cellular shades are not only amazing due to their insulation, but they are also extremely customizable. You can choose from a huge array of colors, fabrics, and features such as room darkening, blackout, motorized operation, top-down/bottom-up operation and more!

Solar Screen Shades

Solar screen shades offer a clean and simple look that complements any décor. When drawn, screen shades not only provide you with interior privacy without obstructing your views, these shades also minimize heat and glare and protect your furniture and floors from harsh UV rays.

Solar screen shades are available in a variety of opacities from 1% – 14% to help meet your preferences. Contact us today learn more about which solar screen shade is right for you.
