Perhaps the most compelling reason to consider purchasing custom Hunter Douglas honeycomb shades for your home is that they can actually serve to lower your energy bills. While this may sound preposterous, consider that all window treatments increase the energy efficiency of your home to a certain degree, but honeycomb shades are specifically designed to provide your windows with added insulation. A lack of insulation is what leads to energy leakage from your windows, which allows your air conditioning to seep out of your windows, and allows the outside heat to seep in. With the addition of honeycomb shades, you will only have to use your HVAC system as much as is absolutely necessary, ultimately saving you money on your energy bills.

Because temperatures can fluctuate quite a bit during the year, it can be difficult to regulate your home’s internal climate. While you could find a programmable thermostat, or invest in warm blankets and ceiling fans, purchasing custom Hunter Douglas honeycomb shades is a simpler choice. These shades work to passively keep your home’s temperature more consistent, rather than having your HVAC constantly work to compete against the outside air. Not only do they serve to trap air from entering or leaving your home, but they also have the additional benefits of a traditional window treatment, blocking unnecessarily harsh sunlight from entering through your windows and disrupting your home’s climate.

Window treatments were invented, primarily, for a practical purpose. Because of that, you can expect a lot of the same from the window treatment brands you would see in a local home improvement or big box store. Luckily, Hunter Douglas feels that when you choose custom Hunter Douglas honeycomb shades, you should get something truly remarkable. The design of honeycomb shades is futuristic, architectural, and incredibly stylish, so you can reap the benefits of both energy efficiency and beauty simultaneously.
