Improving Home Insulation

When you think of home insulation, you might think of that pink fluffy stuff in your walls and various nooks and crannies around your house. While this type of insulation is needed for a well-run home, there are many other kinds of insulation as well, some in forms you may find surprising.

Improving Home Insulation, Hunter Douglas energy-efficient window treatments near Rehoboth Beach, Delaware (DE)

Did you know that a majority of a home’s heating and cooling is lost through its windows? If windows are not properly insulated, your home’s cool air can seep out, and the hot outside air can come in during the summer. Conversely, your home’s warm air can quickly give way to the frigid air outside during the winter. The result? An uncomfortable home, high energy bills, and lots of frustration. Fortunately, you can take steps to improve your home’s insulation with our Hunter Douglas products. Read on to learn more.

Keep Inside Air In

When it comes to improving home insulation, keeping your home’s inside and outside air out is crucial. If not, you could run into the abovementioned issues and create an oppressive home in the summer and a frigid home in the winter. Fortunately, Hunter Douglas has a variety of energy-efficient shades that trap air at the windows to prevent any leakages. Our Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades feature a honeycomb structure that prevents any air from escaping from or creeping into your home. This added insulation will keep your home naturally warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer without you running to the thermostat. As a result, your energy bills may drop with time. If you need extra energy efficiency, ask our team about the honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb option available within the Duette® Cellular Shades collection.

Add Some Layers

Another step to take when it comes to improving home insulation is to add some layers. This option is perfect if you love your current shades, shutters, or blinds. Hunter Douglas Design Studio™ Custom Drapes layer perfectly with various window treatments.

Coming in a range of colors, patterns, and fabric types, Design Studio™ Custom Drapes are an interior design chameleon, with their full range of customization at your fingertips. Additionally, their thick material can help provide additional shade and noise control when layered with your current window treatments. This is excellent if you live on a busy street or want to darken your media room to reduce the chance of glare. Custom drapery is also an excellent addition to bedrooms and guest bedrooms thanks to its room-darkening, privacy, and noise-controlling properties.
