Let's first consider some arresting numbers: 40% of the heat that escapes from your home leaves through the windows. And 50% of the solar heat that enters a room comes in through-you guessed it-the windows. Obviously, energy efficient treatments can translate into considerable utility bill savings, especially if your windows are on a cold north exposure in the winter or a sun-saturated west wall in the summer. The most energy efficient treatments feature a honeycomb construction. The cells actually trap the hot or cold air, decreasing the intensity of the temperature as it enters the room. A honeycomb shade with a triple cell construction will increase the energy efficiency of a single pane of glass by five times and more than double the energy efficiency of a double-glazed window. The degree to which our products will meet your energy efficiency needs will depend on the fabrics and product features you choose and whether your window coverings remain open, closed, raised or lowered.


Just as sunscreen protects our skin from the sun's damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays, window treatments protect our room interiors. Left unprotected for a prolonged period of time, our possessions will succumb to the same fate as those of us who routinely pass on the SPF 15 sunscreen: premature aging. That means our wood floors will bleach and dry out and the color will fade from our paintings and Oriental rugs. Virtually every Hunter Douglas product filters out at least 75% of the sun's harmful UV rays when closed over double-glazed glass windows. Many of our products provide even greater protection, up to 99% when closed. The degree to which our products will meet your UV protection needs will depend on the fabrics and product features you choose and whether your window covering is open, closed, raised or lowered.
