How blinds and shades deliver energy savings

Dan Custom Blinds and Shades

Energy efficiency is a big trend in America these days, with more homeowners turning to power-saving methods that deliver real results on their next utility bill. The truth of the matter is that households can take cost-effective steps to reduce their energy consumption.

Today, we'll look at how custom curtains and drapes can achieve this goal for people. While each home is different, many design elements are the same and it's merely a matter of getting the right window covering to do the job right. 

Home heating and cooling systems rely on the integrity of windows and doors to maintain a certain temperature. Any cracks or leaks leads to heating loss. This problem forces the home's air conditioning or heater to work overtime, which consumes more power. During certain times of the year, this can become an expensive proposition.

That's where window coverings come in. They act to seal the glass entirely, restricting air flow and ensuring that your house remains as cool or warm as you'd like it. According to House Logic, an online resource for homeowners, draperies are a great way to keep a room at a steady, energy efficient temperature.

"Like shades and shutters, draperies are only efficient when they're closed. However, if they're used in conjunction with another window covering, such as a honeycomb shade or a wood blind, you can let sun in during daylight hours and effectively shut out colder air at night," the source reports.

Come visit out Milwaukee fabric store and ask our professional staff about how our service can help you improve your home's energy efficiency profile. Don't wait – your utility bills could drop before you know it!
