Energy Efficient
All window
coverings help defend your home against summer
heat and winter cold. The design, materials and construction of
the window coverings discussed here enable them to make a more
significant contribution to energy efficiency.
Energy efficient window treatments help
you to:
-
Cut heat loss in
winter and increase your home’s cozy comfort as they slow the
escape of warm air. Window treatments act as insulation,
covering glass to keep warm air inside (see illustration above).
-
Cut infiltration of
solar heat, the single largest contributor to the workload of
your home’s cooling system.
-
Save money on
utilities and save the natural resources used to generate
energy. 
-
Save your interior
fabrics, furnishings and woods from fading and deterioration.
With energy
prices on the rise, it makes good sense to upgrade your window
coverings!
At Hoffman's Window Fashions we take the guess work out of
which window coverings provide the most insulation. Some
treatments just block the sun or provide privacy, and in
most cases that's sufficient. But in some instances a
greater degree of insulation is desired. When the glass in
your home or office heats up from the sun, that heat begins
to radiate into the room. A window covering with a good
R-value can buffer this transfer and make a noticeable
difference in overall room temperature. This also works in
extreme cold temperatures when the glass becomes cold to the
touch.
Find out which treatments provide the greatest degree of
insulation against heat and cold.
