‘Tis the season to be jolly! This is the time of year you should sit ’round the fire, with your family and friends nearby, as you savor the smells and sounds of the season.
It’s during the weeks leading up to the holiday, in the cold Denver months, that you may truly learn just how insulating your windows are…or, for that matter, are not. Thankfully there are ways to keep Jack Frost from creeping into your home, nipping at bare feet, and keeping you on the hunt for those heating blankets.
Cellular shades! Not only do these shades help alleviate some of the light infiltrating your home, they also help insulate your windows – especially in extreme weather conditions. Cellular shades are superior insulators. They trap air inside, keeping a room cooler in the summer, and warmer in the winter. They’re like a down comforter for your windows.
Without energy-efficient window treatments, such as cellular shades, as much as 50% of a home’s heating and cooling energy can be lost through its windows. Cellular shades provide you with the opportunity to reduce energy consumption, save on heating and cooling costs, and create a more comfortable atmosphere for both you and your holiday guests.
Having new cellular shades installed may be the key to keeping your home energy costs down and ensuring your comfort during the holiday season. New shades will also enhance your home’s aesthetic look. Don’t let window drafts wreak havoc on your holiday plans; contact Right Choice Window Coverings today at (720) 212-6558.
Tips for Saving Energy at the Window
- Ensure your windows and doors are properly weather-stripped.
- Using a high-quality product, caulk around basement and storm windows.
- When heating or cooling, keep windows shut tight, and locked.
- Open your window coverings during sunny winter days to allow the sun to heat your home. It’s free energy. Close your window coverings during summer days to keep the heat out.
