Saving Energy Can Be is Possible with Window Shades

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: Jennie Keithson

Window shades prove to be an excellent way to save much-needed energy in your household. Window shades such as roller shades help to insulate your home during the cold and freezing winter months. And on the hot summer months, heat is kept away efficiently by window treatments. Different kinds of window treatments provide different and sometimes, better energy savings. This is why it is important to install the right kind of window treatment to your home. The advantages of controlling the sunlight's entry into your home are the following:

1. Energy consumption is effectively reduced.
2. Electricity bills are significantly lowered.
3. Your interior furnishings and fixtures will show less fading.
4. You will be more comfortable in your home because of a consistent temperature.

Inside an ordinary home, windows account for almost 50% of the heat loss or gain depending on what the current season you're currently in. This then results to almost 50% of the workload being set on your air-conditioning or heating system. Even if you combine the heating gain or loss of the attic, roof and walls altogether, the windows still show more percentage of heat gain or loss. Windows that are left bare will allow twenty times more heat into your home than a window that is treated with insulation – in other words – with the use of window shades. When you use window treatments, you are able to control the way the sun's energy will enter into your home, thus providing more electricity conservation during the hot summer months. At the same time, this also allows you to take advantage of the "free" heat during winter time.

When considering the different options of window shades and roller shades available in the market that is designed to repel the heat from the sun, consider also the "Shading Coefficient" of the different options available. Shading Coefficient stands for the measurement of the ability of window shades and roller shades in the reduction of the solar heat gain. Look for the lower number which means less solar heat will enter your home resulting in lower heating or cooling bills. For example, are you aware that wood or faux wood blinds are considered to be much better at conserving energy than aluminum blinds? And did you know that honeycomb cell shades conserve energy much more efficiently than ordinary roller shades? In your search for the best window shades to reduce solar heat most effectively, keep in mind that wood blinds, faux wood blinds and honeycomb cell shades provide the most percentage of solar heat reduction as long as the surface facing the glass window is a reflective color such as white.

Here are more top energy conserving window shades:

- UV Protection Shades – provides excellent insulation and is able to eliminate almost 100% of UV Rays that will cause fading and damage to your furniture and flooring

- Temperature Control Shades – Energy use and room temperatures can be managed with these energy efficient window shades.

- Light Diffusing Shades – These kinds of shades will effectively diffuse the sun's rays and will make your room cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. All this and the entry of natural light is not be restricted.

So don't leave your windows without roller shades, aside from adding beauty to your home, the savings in energy consumption can't be beat!
