Savvy choices for Savvy Window Treatments

There is much value in thinking of sustainability and the environment, and we encourage you to “think green”, what options you have. And although making an effort to help lower our dependence on our planet and it’s natural resources helps in many ways, few people realize how much you can save on your home’s energy bill with something as simple as choosing the right window coverings.

Whether you are looking for simple, understated elegance or wanting to create an over-the-top ambiance that is formal for those special occasions, the right window fashions can offer up the perfect solution while also helping to lower your energy bill. Empire Custom Windows offers an outstanding selection of energy efficient window treatments that include our popular collection of Cellular blinds. In addition to offering trend-forward style, Cellular blinds, also known as Honeycomb blinds combine the soft look and energy efficiency of honeycomb shades with the functionality of horizontal blinds. In addition, they also provide soft light that enhances the look of any interior space, or room darkening for day sleepers or for viewing flat screen televisions.

Curtains and Drapery Panels are another popular choice for improving energy efficiency in your home. Aside from creating understated elegance at an affordable price, layering curtains or drapery panels with Light Filtering or Room Darkening Liners helps control light gaps and improve insulation retention. Empire Custom Windows offers over 160 stunning interior fabrics, in the newest prints, stripes, sheers, jacquards, textures and colors, and in cotton, linen and other blends, most of which can only be accessed by interior design professionals. And with our drapery, adding your own unique design to complement your existing interiors is easy when you include classic pleats, modern grommets, and drapery rings that match your custom decorative hardware.

Other stylish energy efficient window coverings include various types of shades, such as Cellular and Roller, along with Shutters, long considered a smart investment due to their enhanced insulation features and the fact they add to a home’s resale value. Regardless of which style of window fashions you choose, remember, “it’s the little things” that make a difference in helping to conserve energy!
