Save Energy With Insulated Window Treatments
Whether you live in the warm southern climate or the cold northern climate, insulated window treatments will save you money. In fact, the only place I have ever lived where insulation was not important was Hawaii. That was the only place where I never closed the windows. So unless you live in Hawaii, then the right insulation can save you a bundle.
Don't Let a Draft Cost You Money
The biggest waste of money is the drafty window. You can tell if your windows are drafty by using the candle trick. Simply light a candle and slowly move it around the window. If the flame flickers or worse goes out, then you have a draft. When you find a draft, it is important to seal it immediately.
Insulate the Window
You insulate your attic. You insulate your walls. However, the window is left untreated. Does this make sense? Of course it doesn't. Yet, in the past, you were left with only a few options.
First, you could install a separate window. Some people install storm windows on the outside of a regular window to get the benefit of both storm protection and insulation. However, this makes opening the windows a pain, not to mention the cleaning nightmare!
Your next option was the double pane window. This was a better option and it was more attractive. The double pane gave you a bit more insulation but still allowed the sun to heat up surrounding areas.
Last, you had the drapes. If you wanted warmth, then you got big, dusty, tacky curtains to cover the window. If you wanted cool air then you installed thin, easily torn, easily damaged sheers. While these worked great, they were not exactly the easiest to clean and handle.
Now, you have the option of insulated shades. Cellular shades work wonders in insulation. In fact, some are energy efficient enough to qualify for a Federal Tax Credit. This is not something you ever found with bulky curtains.
Insulated Shades an Affordable Option
While you may think that you could not afford quality shades, you just might be surprised. Translucent single cell shades only cost about $25 and that is for a custom fit. The blackout single cell shades (for ultimate light filtering) are only $10 more. When you consider how much you can actually save (studies show insulated shades reduce energy bills by 25%), installing cellular blinds is quite affordable.
The cellular shade is only one type of insulated window treatment. You can find a wide variety of energy efficient blinds and shades in an assortment of styles. When it comes to quality window treatments, your options are almost limitless.
