Are homeowners throwing money out the window? Here's a cold hard fact, heat lost through windows can account for up to 25% of a heating bill. In warmer weather, poorly insulated windows can make air conditioning work three times harder. American Blinds, Wallpaper and More, a leader in home décor for over fifty years, recommends installing energy efficient window treatments to reduce costly utility bills all year long.
Rachel Rutledge, Product Merchandising Manager at American Blinds, Wallpaper and More says, "Not only do window treatments completely change the look and feel of your home, they can be one of the most practical energy saving improvements. Now you can have it all…beautiful design and increased energy savings."
New window treatments are a beneficial addition to your home. American Blinds, Wallpaper and More offers the latest solutions to save energy and money.
- Cellular Shades - The smart and stylish honeycomb construction is highly insulating. Their clean, classic design looks great alone, or combined with other drapery treatments.
- Thermal Curtains and Black Out Liners - Both block out light while helping to maintain a room's temperature at a comfortable level while using less energy.
Here are more energy saving tips for homeowners from American Blinds, Wallpaper and More:
- Cooling Season Tip - For warmer weather conditions, install window shades or blinds with a white surface facing out to reflect heat away from your home.
- Heating Season Tip - During the cooler season, keep window shades and blinds on your south-facing windows open during the day to allow sunlight to warm-up rooms, and closed at night to reduce the chill.
This season homeowners can add style and savings with insulating window fashions. To purchase Cellular Shades, and other energy efficient window treatments from American Blinds, Wallpaper and More, visit www.americanblinds.com.
