Saving Energy, One Window at a Time
Did you know that windows are responsible for a significant amount of a home's heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer? This can lead to higher energy bills and an uncomfortable living environment.
The right window treatments can act as an insulating barrier, helping you save energy and money all year round. At Meyer Floor Covering, we offer a variety of energy-efficient window treatments that are both beautiful and functional for our customers in Lakewood, Tacoma, Puyallup, Gig Harbor, and Steilacoom.
The Most Energy-Efficient Window Covering Options
-
Cellular (Honeycomb) Shades: These shades are a top choice for energy efficiency. Their unique honeycomb-shaped pockets trap air, creating a powerful layer of insulation between the window and your home. In the winter, they prevent heat from escaping, and in the summer, they block heat from entering. Cellular shades come in a variety of opacities, from sheer to blackout, so you don't have to compromise on light control.
-
Plantation Shutters: Custom-fit plantation shutters are a fantastic option for their insulating properties. When the louvers are closed, the solid wood or composite material provides a robust barrier against heat transfer. They are also great for blocking out harsh UV rays, which can damage your furniture and floors over time.
-
Roman Shades: When made with a thermal or blackout liner, Roman shades can be a surprisingly effective insulator. The fabric acts as a barrier, and when the shade is fully lowered, it can significantly reduce heat transfer.
-
Insulated Drapery: Heavy, lined draperies can provide an extra layer of insulation. When properly installed to cover the entire window, they can help to seal off drafts and keep the room at a more comfortable temperature.
