Whether your windows don’t provide good insulation or you have old, leaky windows that cause a constant fluctuation in temperature, comfort is always key. By installing high-quality, energy-efficient luxury blinds Vancouver, you save money and ensure your family’s health and comfort. You’ll no longer have high energy bills because you were cranking up the furnace during winter or having your AC running on high all day during summer.
Why Go Energy-Efficient?
One of the many reasons to going energy-efficient with your luxury blinds Vancouver is lowering your energy consumption, which can save you money. It prolongs the life of your HVAC system as you’ll be using it less, it enables you to put your saved money towards savings or other important aspects of your life and it’s more kind to the planet.
Here are some questions to ask yourself before shopping:
- Can these window treatments be used in both summer and winter?
- Can I pair them with other window treatments like window sheers, drapes, or curtains?
- Do they work in humid environments like kitchens and bathrooms?
- Are they child and pet-friendly? (cordless, motorized)
- I live in a particularly cold climate, are they insulated well enough?
- I have children – are the fabrics resistant to stains?
An environmentally-friendly, budget-friendly alternative to completely replacing your windows, the wide range of Hunter Douglas blinds we offer at Home Makeover Centre are sure to fit your family’s needs.
Cellular Shades
Cellular shades are a globally popular energy-efficient window treatment. Why? They have honeycomb-shaped air pockets that trap air and create an extra layer of insulation. They’re not only soft and lightweight but also chic and stylish, coming in a variety of fabric and color options to fit homes with different decor.
They are offered in multiple different light-control options varying from sheer, light-filtering, room-darkening, and blackout, enabling you to customize the mood in your home whenever you wish. They are ideal for south-facing windows where rooms get plenty of heat and sunlight, as well as children’s rooms where a comfortable temperature is paramount to the quality of your child’s sleep.
Solar Shades
Solar shades are one of the most popular energy-efficient window treatments on the market. They provide ample protection from the sun’s UV rays all while giving you the freedom of light control. Get them in a sheer fabric that lets through light and gently filters it throughout the room, room-darkening for movie nights, or blackout in the bedroom for a good night’s sleep.
The best part? They reduce glare on your TV and protect your electronics, flooring, prized possessions, and furniture from fading or overheating due to the sun’s rays.
Draperies
Draperies are a fantastic way to further dress up your windows while giving them an extra layer of insulation. We offer drapes in a wide range of opacities like light-filtering, room-darkening, and blackout, as well as in a range of sheers for a soft glow. Choose from a variety of fabrics, textures, patterns, and colors to fit the decor of every single room in your home.
And the best part about draperies? They are a fantastic complement to your existing or newly-installed luxury blinds Vancouver. Whether you have wooden shutters, composite blinds, honeycomb shades, or solar shades, draperies can be a great way to layer up year-round.
