Your windows may be quietly draining your wallet. Here’s how the right treatment pays for itself.
Why windows leak energy
Glass is a poor insulator. In summer it lets heat in; in winter it lets warmth out. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates windows account for 25–30% of residential heating and cooling energy use.
Cellular shades lead the pack
The honeycomb pockets in cellular shades trap a layer of air against the window — a simple, effective insulator. Double-cell versions insulate even more.
Solar shades for hot climates
Solar shades block UV rays and reduce glare and heat gain while preserving your view — ideal for sun-facing rooms.
