How to Keep Your Home Warm and Cozy near Westford, MA
Winters in Massachusetts can be cold and heavy on the winter precipitation, which is why our team at Mill Design & Blinds looks for any and every way to keep our clients’ homes warm and cozy during the frigid winter months. Believe it or not, one of the first places your home starts to lose heat is at your windows. It’s not always cost effective to replace your entire windows for the most energy-efficient panes on the market, but it’s always possible to update your window treatments to more energy efficient ones. That’s why when our customers come to us looking for shades that will effectively keep their homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer - our Hunter Douglas Cellular Shades tops their list.
Why Change Window Treatments for Just One Season?
The beauty of our Duette® Cellular Shades is that they’re functional for far longer than just winter. Truly, they’re functional all year round. The way the shades are created, they’re insulated with interior honeycomb cells in each pleat. These cells trap unwanted exterior air at the window, and the interior layer maintains the interior temperature, so your heating and cooling doesn’t escape and flow out the window. It’s truly the best option for every season that you wish to lower your energy consumption as well as your utility costs, and it comes in especially handy during intense Massachusetts winters and sunny summers.
Better yet, these window treatments have been nationally recognized as Runner Up in the 2022 Integrated Home Competition from the Consortium for Energy Efficiency! If you’ve been on the hunt for new window treatments but haven’t found the one yet, starting the process now is the perfect time to get started with a free consultation and learning more about why Duette® Cellular Shades are an amazing option for your home.
Do Cellular Shades Look Great?
The key to curating a cozy home is finding solutions that work together harmoniously. The beauty of our Duette® Cellular Shades is that they are incredibly versatile design-wise and can be customized to work in so many different styles of interior decor.
Well-designed homes feature pops of color and texture, and a fantastic way to incorporate texture is through fabric window treatments. You can customize our Duette® Cellular Shades with over 150 fabric and color choices, so it’s easy to find many that will incorporate seamlessly into any room of your home.
Another fantastic feature of Duette® Cellular Shades is their unique light control qualities. Depending on your fabric choice, you’ll choose from a wide variety of light diffusion options that create a unique glow of sunlight during daylight hours, another element of a cozy home. This diffusion of light creates a beautiful, inviting ambiance in your home. You can even opt for one of our Top-Down/Bottom-up designs or our Duolite® system so you can maintain privacy in your rooms without sacrificing natural light.
