Help Your AC Work Better: Increase Energy Efficiency With Indoor Window Coverings

While your AC unit may be working at peak efficiency, it may still not be able to keep up with the relentless heat outdoors. Help your unit out by making the inside of your home naturally cooler with some energy efficient and money-saving blinds and shades. While your home’s walls provide a ton of protection and insulation from the outside elements, your home’s windows are a weak spot when it comes to protecting you from the heat. Using some of our excellent suite of window covering products can help you shore up the weak spot while also making your home look and feel more beautiful. 

Honeycomb Shades

• These shades are perfect for helping your home keep cool this summer because they provide an extra layer of insulation between your windows and the inside of your home. They trap the warm air in their pockets and keep it near the window instead of letting it circulate around the room.
• They also help to block sunlight, to a degree, from entering your home and warming up your carpet and furniture by exposure to direct sunlight

Roller Shades

• These shades are a perfect marriage between the aesthetics of a cozy set of blinds with the functionality of blackout curtains. They are made with hearty UV reflective materials that help to block harsh light, harmful UV rays, and other sources of the sun’s heat from entering your home. They can also be rigged to a motor for the ultimate home automation experience.
