If you’re looking for a way to save on your utility bills, energy efficient window coverings may be the answer. By installing custom window blinds or other shades, you can regulate the temperature in your home and reduce the strain on your heating and electricity bills.
Here in Mississauga and in the Greater Toronto Area, we know how important it is to save money on our energy costs. Whether it’s increased sunlight that could trigger your home’s air conditioning in the summer or reduced sunlight in the winter that can make your furnace work overtime, it’s important to have proper window coverings for your home to keep you comfortable and save money at the same time!
Not only can energy efficient window coverings regulate temperature, but they can also block out harsh sunlight and provide added privacy to your home. Plus, they come in a variety of styles and designs to match any décor.
Not only do certain window coverings block UV rays from entering your home, but they can also help prevent the loss of heat that may occur through certain windows.
Depending on the window covering you select, they could incorporate features that can be tailored for high energy efficiency during the changing Canadian seasons.
Some window coverings provide insulation to help retain heat in the winter months and prevent heat loss and increase furnace efficiency. Cellular window shades are one of the best options for insulating your home in the winters.
On the flip side, certain window coverings (like outdoor-mounted solar shades) are created to help reflect heat in the warmer months and block UV rays to help increase the efficiency of your home’s air conditioning.
There are four categories of window coverings that can help save you energy: window shades, window blinds, curtains & drapery, and vinyl shutters.
A shade is a single piece of material that covers the whole window. It can be opened and closed to allow portions of the outdoor elements, like sunlight, into the home.
Window blinds consist of several horizontal slats that can be adjusted by opening them or closing them tightly together to control light and visibility into the room.
Curtains and drapery can add an elegant touch to any room while also helping to regulate temperature and energy efficiency.
Vinyl shutters provide a more permanent solution for controlling light and temperature in your home. They offer added insulation during colder climates and can also be easily adjusted to control sunlight in warmer climates.
