Massachusetts is known for its variable New England weather, especially during the summer when nighttime can bring sweltering heat or make us shiver. We’re constantly toggling the thermostat to keep up with these fluctuating temperatures, trying to stay comfortable. And of course, then we get those high energy bills at the end of the month – ouch! At first, this dilemma seems like you must choose between staying comfortable or staying within your energy bill comfort zone. With our collection of cellular shades here at Mill Design & Blinds, you don’t have to choose between staying comfortable or staying within your energy bill comfort zone. With cellular honeycomb shades from Hunter Douglas , you can enjoy a comfortable home and reduced energy bills this summer and through all of the seasons that follow.
Before we discuss the benefits that come with our line of Hunter Douglas cellular honeycomb shades, let’s first define what a honeycomb shade is. Honeycomb shades feature a cellular interior that adds insulation to your windows by trapping air. Cellular shades add an extra insulating layer over the window to prevent significant temperature fluctuations and prevent your heating and cooling from working overtime! Since a high percentage of our home’s energy is lost through our windows, adding proper insulation is an excellent way to keep your home comfortable in all seasons without increasing your energy bills. This extra insulation also helps keep sounds from the outdoors out of your home. Enjoy the bonus of sonic insulation alongside your gorgeous and energy-saving window treatments.
Now that we have an understanding of the construction of cellular shades, let’s talk about some of the ways they can benefit you this summer and beyond. Since the construction of cellular shades offers energy efficiency, these shades help keep your home at a comfortable temperature naturally. Since this will result in less trips to the thermostat, you will begin to see your home’s energy usage and bills go down.
Need some extra insulation? Our Hunter Douglas cellular shades are available in double cell options-Duette® Architella®-to help insulate each window in your. You can also choose from light filtering, room darkening, and blackout fabric options to control the amount of light, privacy, and shade in each room. A light and airy room like the living room will enjoy the soft light streaming through a light filtering shade. On the other hand, media rooms and bedrooms will enjoy the darkness of a blackout or room darkening shade. And we can also help you customize the operation of the shade, choosing from top-down bottom-up for maximum flexibility, light rise for single touch operation or power for hands-free operation.
In New England, it can sometimes feel like we go through several seasons in one day! And just when we’ve gotten used to one season, the next one seems to be upon us. That is why you want a shade that will work hard during any season. Since cellular shades offer insulation at each window, they can also work to keep your home cool in the summer and keep your energy uses low all year long. No matter where you place them, cellular shades are here to impress.
