Choose these Energy-Efficient Blinds this Spring
After a long winter, many homeowners in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, are enjoying the warmer weather of spring. Of course, this warmer weather can result in hot rooms, glare, and increased energy usage. If you want to keep your home cool and your energy consumption low, you will love adding energy-efficient blinds to your home. Here’s how Betz Blinds can improve your home’s overall energy use without sacrificing comfort.
Energy-Efficient Wood Blinds
There’s no denying that South Dakota springs turn into warm summers. If you have bright sunlight constantly streaming into a room, things can heat up quickly. That’s where energy-efficient blinds come to the rescue. Parkland® Wood Blinds, for example, feature gorgeous slats that help block out harsh UV rays when the sun is at its peak. This will help prevent heat gain all summer long.
Another perk? Crafted with high-quality wood that instantly elevates your space, these energy-efficient window blinds from Hunter Douglas are a small addition to your layout that can make a big difference in its beauty, curb appeal, and value with their natural wood gains and stunning color options.
Energy-Efficient Faux Wood Blinds
A sunny day is perfect for afternoons lounging around the pool. However, the last thing you want after a long summer day is to walk into a bright home. Unrelenting glare from the sun can bounce off your screens, making enjoying a movie, working, or simply texting your friends back feel impossible. Fortunately, energy-efficient window blinds help direct sunlight exactly where you want it to go.
EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds from Hunter Douglas are incredibly excellent for bright, hot rooms, as they are made from durable, man-made materials that can stand up to that intense summer sun. By keeping your home shaded without sacrificing natural light, you might lower that AC and, in turn, contribute to a more energy-efficient home!
Alternatives to Energy-Efficient Window Blinds
Have you ever pressed your hand against a window in the summer and noticed how warm it was? Odds are, this warmth extends throughout the entire room. And when those temperatures drop in the winter, you’ll notice the inverse. Duette® Cellular Shades by Hunter Douglas trap air right at the window to keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter without you cranking up the heat or AC. This will result in less energy usage and, with time, lower energy bills.
