The Benefits of Added Insulation on Windows

Sometimes in life, less is more. However, there are also times when more is more. If you love chocolate, then that extra scoop of ice cream can make your Friday night at home even better. If you are a book lover, then adding more books to your collection can make you feel all sorts of happy. If you are a fashionista, adding one more layer to your outfit can keep you warm and looking good as you head out for a fun night. Of course, the more is more philosophy doesn’t stop there. It can also be applied to your windows. Added insulation on windows offers many benefits, including reduced energy usage. Read on to learn all about how your home can benefit from added insulation on windows with Duette® Honeycomb Shades from Hunter Douglas.

Duette® Honeycomb Shades near Fort Gratiot, Michigan (MI), that offer added insulation on windows.

Designed with Energy Savings in Mind

The main reason cellular shades are beloved by many is their honeycomb construction. Not only is this design pleasing to the eye, but it is also pleasing to the home. For example, did you know that up to 30 percent of our home’s energy loss is through our windows? This can make your home feel extra hot in the summer and frigid in the winter, even though you are cranking up the thermostat or AC. Not only that, but this can result in you paying for energy that is simply–and literally–going out the window. Fortunately, Hunter Douglas is here to help.

Duette® Honeycomb Shades from Hunter Douglas keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer without you cranking up the AC or thermostat, thanks to its innovative design. This allows you to be more eco-friendly without sacrificing your comfort. This added insulation on windows also offers plenty of room for design. With the widest selection of cellular pleat sizes, opacities, colors, textures, and operating systems, Duette® Honeycomb Shades lets you spread your creative wings as wide as you wish.
