How to Select Window Treatments for Energy Efficiency
 Energy Efficiency |
From a decorator’s standpoint, one of the major ways to tie the look of a room together is through the creative use of window treatments. The type of coverings to put over windows, sliding glass doors, and other openings is often an afterthought, and once installed, may stay there for years.
Window treatments are not only decorative, they can also help make your home more energy efficient by keeping in the heat during the cold winter months and repelling the sun in the summer. Isn’t saving money what it’s all about?
Take a walk around your home and make note of what is currently on your windows.
Do you have curtains, drapes, shades, or shutters?
What type of construction are they?
From what direction does the sun shine into your windows?
These are all factors to take into consideration when choosing windows coverings.
