Of all the luxury blinds Vancouver, honeycomb shades reign supreme. Most people are aware that honeycomb shades are a top choice. They offer an expansive range of amazing benefits, from insulation and light control all the way to help you save money on your energy bills. They ensure a cool home during the summer and a home that is able to retain as much heat as possible, during the winter.
These Hunter Douglas Duette® shades are an option you are sure to love as they will continue to serve your family for a long time. Let’s take a look at the benefits of honeycomb shades.
Superior Insulation & Energy Efficiency
It’s no secret that these shades are incredibly insulating and energy-efficient. Their honeycomb-shaped cells help to create a protective barrier by trapping air, insulating your home from the outside temperatures and any heat or cold that leaks through the windows when closed. This makes for a home that is able to retain heat and cold effortlessly throughout the year.
Cellular shades first came on the market after the energy crisis in the late 70’s with the intention of helping people reduce their energy consumption. For maximum results, try honeycomb shades that have two cells instead of just one for optimal efficiency value.
Stylish
Cellular shades offer the best in style, being both sleek, modern and chic. They effortlessly blend into their surroundings if you choose a neutral, subtle colour or make a bold statement in a striking colour that stands out. Whether you have contemporary or traditional interiors, there is an option for you with the wide selection of colours, patterns and styles we offer.
Lightweight
Honeycomb shades are very lightweight, making them ideal for large windows that require big shades. Their feather-like nature makes them easy to operate and adapt to a number of window styles, shapes and sizes.
Reduce Noise
The same way their air pockets trap cold and heat, they also trap sound. This makes for an environment that’s quiet, serene and relaxing, perfectly isolated from the noise, hustle and bustle of the outside world. These pockets of air will absorb any loud noises from cars, wildlife and people, especially if you live in a more populated, central area. If you live in the suburbs and there are still sounds you would prefer to block out, these luxury blinds Vancouver are ideal for the job.
Reduce Energy-Costs
The ability of honeycomb shades to help your home retain heat and cold, makes them perfect for reducing your energy costs. Because your home will have optimal temperature-control abilities, you’ll have a lesser need for your HVAC system, therefore, reducing energy consumption and lowering your energy bills. This can save you hundreds of thousands of dollars on your energy bills annually.
Child-Safe Options
Honeycomb shades come in a variety of child and pet-safe options from cordless and motorized to top down/bottom up. No wands, no dangerous or hazardous cords, just manual operation or the operation of a remote control.
A Range of Opacities
Whether you prefer light to softly filter throughout your home or you want to completely block it out in the evenings for a serene environment perfect for glare-free movie night, honeycomb shades can offer you what you need. Available in light-filtering, room-darkening and light-blocking opacities, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for.
