Energy Efficient
Did you know you could be saving on your energy bill? Did you also know that on average about 30% of a home’s energy is lost through its windows? In Canada, we spend more money on household electricity consumption than anywhere else in North America. But this doesn't have to be you start saving by choosing the right window treatment for your home. Cellular shades/Honeycomb shades are the best and most energy efficient window coverings you can buy.
By using a series of cell pockets to trap air around your windows, keeping your rooms warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The cells used have a unique design shaped similar to a honeycomb and are often referred to as honeycomb shades. Whether it's retaining heat in the winter, shading the sun's rays in the summer, or providing maximum UV blockage and sound absorption, proper window coverings can substantially cut your energy costs.
Light Filtering Vs Blackout/Room Darkening
The main difference between light filtering vs blackout/room darkening shades is light control. Blackout shades use fabrics that blocks out 100% of all incoming light. Room darkening usually refers to any shade that uses fabrics that blocks between 95% and 99% of the light that enters your room. Treatment that block less than 95% of the light is typically referred to as light filtering.
Light filtering blinds and shades are created with semi-opaque fabrics or materials that allow only small amounts of light even when closed, while still preserving your privacy. Light filtering window treatments transform a full blast of sunlight into a soft, warm glow inside your home! However, a good blackout blind eliminates all incoming light and can completely block out or reduce the amount of outside noise entering your bedroom. This means you can sleep without any unwanted interruptions.

Not only do UV rays damage your skin, but they tint furniture, fabric and wood. Sunscreen protects your skin from the sun's damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays.
