Get Your Window Treatments To Pay For Themselves

The best way to recoup your investment in quality window treatments is through energy savings. It's simple scientific fact: heat moves towards cold. In winter months, it's drawn to the cold glass windows to escape a home. In the summer, the opposite is true.

A single layer of uncovered window glass has an R-value of about 1, while a typical, double-glassed window( two panes of glass or a storm window) has an R-value of around 2. By selecting an energy-efficient window treatment, you can increase the R-value one to four points.

With a very high insulating R-value of 4.8 ( on double-glazed windows),Duette honeycomb shades with three layers of honeycomb pleats more than double the energy efficiency of a double-glazed window and nearly quadruple the efficiency of a single pane of glass. The new Duette Architella shades feature a cell within a cell for increased energy efficiency. Looking good and saving energy at the same time is a winning combination!
