Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades near Springfield, IL

#1: Window Treatments Lower Energy Bills

Up to 30% of your heating and cooling escapes through your windows. If you can put a stopper on that, you can significantly lower your energy bills. Window treatments are a stylish and practical way to do exactly that. While most window treatments will help to a certain degree, the most effective Hunter Douglas Window Treatments for reducing your energy bill are the Duette® Honeycomb Shades or the Duette Architella® Shades.

The honeycomb construction of these shades traps air against the window, providing an extra layer of insulation on the part of your home that needs it the most. This extra insulation keeps the cold air in your home during summer and the hot air in winter. The honeycomb shades also insulate you from external sources of sound. You can also choose from over 150 colors and fabrics, so your windows will not only be more functional but look beautiful while doing so.

#2: Window Treatments Protect Against UV Light

The sun's UV rays can wreak havoc on your flooring, furniture, and artwork. Fortunately, window treatments block UV rays. Designer Solar Shades block up to 80% of UV rays and allow you to enjoy the view of the outdoors. Depending on the fabric opacity you choose, you can enjoy the view of the outdoors and gently filtered light all the time or block out all the light you want and enjoy comfortable darkness.

#3: Window Treatments Allow You to Control Light

Light management is one of the apparent benefits of window treatments. You can choose anything from classic shutters to blinds to manage light. Sheer shades, like Silhouette Sheer Shades, allow light to filter through while providing daytime privacy.

#4: Window Treatments Make Your Home Look Complete

No matter what window treatments you select, they help to make your home look complete. Blinds, shades, and shutters all provide a level of consistency throughout your home that ties it together. Covering your windows also can help to make them look bigger, giving your home a larger-than-life appearance.

Drapery especially complements your window treatments. The rich, luxurious fabrics go well with shades, shutters, and blinds to give your home an extra impressive air.

#5: Window Treatments Enhance Privacy and Security

Window treatments automatically increase your privacy and security, but you can drastically improve both with PowerView® Automation. Schedule when your window treatments open and close and adjust them to the exact position you like at various times of day. You can change them with a remote or an app on your phone or tablet. You don't need to be at home to open or close them, giving you complete control over every aspect of your window treatments.
