Save Energy this Year with Custom Window Treatments

Fall in the greater Boston area can only mean one thing: winter is coming. Your home is your sanctuary away from the cool and wet weather, but your heating system must work overtime to keep things warm and toasty.

This year, ease the strain on your HVAC by installing new energy-efficient window treatments from Hunter Douglas. At Barrows Custom Window Treatments, we’ve been serving homes in the Boston Metro area and Cape Cod for over 55 years, and when it’s time to hunker down for the winter weather, we know that the best way to stay cozy is when you have a well-insulated home with the help of honeycomb cellular shades that stop energy loss at the source all year long.

Stop Energy Loss at the Source

While investing in well-insulated walls plays an important role in keeping your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter, insulation should only be one piece of your weather-proofing plan. As much as 30% of your home’s heating and cooling costs can escape through your windows and doors.

Even double- or triple-paned windows are not enough to prevent your nice, warm air from seeping outside and the cool fall and winter weather from coming in. Add custom window treatments, like honeycomb blinds and light filtering shades, to your windowscape to save on heating costs this fall and winter.

Upgrading to Closed Cell Blinds

When you imagine a bee’s nest, what do you picture? If you were to cut one open, you would find that nearly all bee species build their nests by molding wax into repeating hexagons. Nature often inspires human creation, and a bee’s affinity for hexagons is no exception. Hexagons offer the most surface area out of any simple shape, making them ideal for construction, sound absorption, light filtration, energy efficiency, and more.

Honeycomb blinds or cellular shades—whatever you call them, these window treatments are one of the most energy-efficient window treatments on the market. These unique shades are explicitly designed to stop energy loss at the source and provide an extra layer of protection at the most vulnerable points in your home: your windows.

Hunter Douglas honeycomb shades are made of rows of hollow hexagons stacked on one another. Because of their high surface area, these cellular shades masterfully trap air from passing through and prevent your meticulously cooled air from escaping through the window. Cellular shades are an ideal way to keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter while keeping your energy costs low.
