Energy Savings

Adding window treatments to your windows adds style and privacy. It saves you money by saving energy. The sun bakes your room through an uncovered window during hot months, making your air conditioner work harder. And unchecked UV rays fade furniture and carpet.

When the weather turns cold, the warmth from your hard-working heater is lost through your bare windows—not to mention the cold blasts that can come through on an icy night.

The good news is that simply adding any window treatment immediately reduces the heat or chill transferred through your windows—and some types of window treatments that do this job extremely well.

Explore our solutions below to find which are right for your room.

Cellular Shades

Our hands down, number one pick for energy savings is a Bali Cellular Shade. Cellular shades are made with a honeycomb shape intentionally designed for energy savings. In fact, Bali Cellular Shades reduce heat transfer by up to 64%*. The cells trap hot and cold air escaping through your window to keep you more comfortable in every weather.

Solar Shades

For hot and sunny climates, solar shades are a popular energy-saving pick. Their unique engineering allows a view through the window while still offering up to 99% UV protection. White and other light fabrics reflect sunlight away from your room to reduce the heat that can come through your window.

If you want nighttime privacy in your room, consider pairing your solar shade with drapery or order a dual shade with a blackout roller shade.

Wood Blinds

Blinds may not come to mind when you're looking for energy savings, but you can find significant insulating properties if you choose the right material. Bali Wood Blinds made with our North American hardwood are naturally insulating and offer you energy efficiency and classic styling.

Wide windows and sliding glass doors can be an even more noticeable source of energy loss. See our wide windows and doors article to find energy-saving solutions for these special cases.
