winter blinds

When temperatures drop, your utility bills can soar, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Insulating window treatments can block out cold air, retain heat, and let you run your furnace less. Read on to learn how blinds equipped for any conditions will more than pay for themselves over the years!

How Insulating Window Treatments Keep Your House Comfortable

Heat transfer via windows can lead to drafts and high winter heating bills. Luckily, insulated window treatments address the problem at its source. They create a buffer between windows and living areas, keeping cold air out and warm air in (and vice versa during the warm months).

Winter Blinds Can Be a Smart Long-Term Investment

Many homeowners don’t realize how much heat is lost through windows and how significantly heat transfer can drive up their utility bills. They’re often surprised when they install insulating window treatments and see an immediate drop in their heating costs.

Making a one-time investment in winter blinds can save you money for years to come. Instead of spending a fortune on heating fuel each winter, you’ll be able to enjoy lower utility bills and have more money available for other priorities.

Choose from Several Kinds of Quality Window Treatments

Thick, multi-layered window treatments provide the best insulation. Knox Blinds offers:

• Draperies
• Cellular/honeycomb shades
• Roman shades
• Plantation shutters

Draperies are made of thick fabric that can extend to the floor to block out drafts. You can choose from an array of stylish colors and find draperies that fit your home’s décor.

Cellular, or honeycomb, shades have a series of air pockets that create an insulating barrier and reduce heat transfer. Knox Blinds offers honeycomb shades that can block out light to varying degrees.

Roman shades are crafted with pleated materials. Some of the Roman shades that we sell have folds down the front for a textured appearance, while others are smooth. No matter which style you choose, Roman shades can keep cold air out and save you money.

Plantation shutters have slats that can be opened to let in light or closed to create an insulating barrier. Shutters can reduce air leakage and help you keep your winter heating bills in check.
