Custom window coverings can often go overlooked in modern homes, but investing in them can significantly improve your home’s comfort and energy efficiency. These adaptable and fashionable additions look great while helping you live a more sustainable lifestyle.
In this blog, we’ll explore how installing custom window coverings can lower energy expenses and increase comfort in your home.
- Improved Thermal Barrier: Custom window coverings can offer better insulation, which is significant as most heat gain in the summer and loss in the winter is through your windows. We can help you increase the thermal insulation of your house by selecting the appropriate materials and designs. For instance, honeycomb shades are coverings with a special structure that holds air in pockets to provide an efficient insulating layer, whereas layered drapes and heavier materials help hold heat and prevent drafts.
- Heat Reduction and UV Protection: Custom window coverings can also decrease heat absorption in the summer and shield your house from damaging UV rays. This preserves the comfort level in your house while guarding against fading in your carpeting, artwork, and furnishings. One such option might be solar shades, which keep out UV rays while still allowing natural light into your home.
- Tailored Fit and Style: Custom window coverings ensure that there are no gaps that could allow drafts to enter. This makes them more effective overall and increases their impact on energy efficiency. You’ll find that we make your window coverings in-house to your exact specifications. As a result, they fit tightly and offer improved light control and insulation.
