Save on Power Bills With Energy Efficient Blinds

Your window coverings offer more than just style and privacy. They can also improve the energy efficiency of your home, reducing that dollar figure on your power bill. Many of today’s energy efficient blinds kill two birds with one stone – they add that touch of sophistication and style while helping you to save a humble dollar on your energy consumption.

We all love big windows. They let plenty of light flood into our homes and office spaces while bringing a touch of the outside indoors. Unfortunately, windows conduct a lot of energy, letting the warm air out when we need it, and the heat in when we don’t want it! So, while your air-conditioner blasts its way through summer or your heater pumps all winter long, a lot of this precious energy is disappearing straight through the glass!

Installing the correct window treatments in your home or business allows you to enjoy the views and natural light while helping to reduce the bottom line on that dreaded bill. Let’s work from the outside in, and take a look at some exterior window treatments that can make your home more energy-efficient.

Awnings

Protecting your windows against the sun’s rays will drastically reduce the amount of heat that’s transferred through the glass. Not only do awnings help improve energy efficiency, but they can also add genuine street appeal to your home or workplace. Available in a huge range of styles and fabrics, there is an awning to suit every situation – from small canopy style covers to large folding arm units that can span an entire deck or outdoor eating area.
