Keep the Cold Out

Of primary concern during colder months is keeping your home at a warm and comfortable temperature, and window shades can be a crucial part of your overall seasonal readiness in this matter. Windows shades with a cellular structure play a key role in both keeping cold weather out and helping to keep your existing heat in so that the interior environment of your home is kept at a consistent and enjoyable temperature. And when it comes to warming window shades no design is more efficient at insulation than cellular honeycomb shades.

Cellular shades have a unique internal construction that traps pockets of air within the shade to create a layer of insulation. This makes cellular honeycomb shades especially useful in the winter when it comes to blocking outside cold that’s trying to come in through your window panes. Hunter Douglas has three styles of window treatments that utilize an interior cellular construction:

  • Duette® Cellular Shades
  • Solera® Roman Shades
  • Sonnette® Roller Shades

Let Light In

During the colder months it’s smart to not only insulate your home to guard against the cold but also to take advantage of any warming elements present that can naturally heat up your rooms, such as the free solar heat of natural sunlight. During daylight hours, when the sun is out, your home can benefit greatly from allowing natural sunlight in to organically warm your indoor spaces. There are several light loving styles of window treatments from Hunter Douglas that can let in abundant but controlled natural sunlight:

  • Heritance® Wood Shutters
  • Silhouette® Sheer Shades
  • Designer Banded Shades
Pair these light loving shades with a full set of drapery to add insulation and design interest. Multi-layered warming window shades allow for the best of both harnessing natural sunlight during the day and insulating against the cold at night.

Enhance Performance

Warming window shades of any design - whether they be cellular honeycomb shades or layered window treatments with drapes and shutters - only work if they are used correctly. And though adjusting window treatments during the day isn’t hard, it’s often not a priority in the busy lives of homeowners. So, if you want the efficiency of high performing shades but don’t want the chore of daily adjustments invest in motorization for your warming window treatments.

PowerView® Automation by Hunter Douglas works on a range of window treatment types and has automated scheduling options that ensure optimal performance year-round. Use our Pebble® remote or the PowerView® app to control your shades at the touch of a button or to schedule your shades to move when you want them to - allowing for them to open when the direct sun is overhead and to close tight at night to insulate your interior.
