Looking at the Benefits of Honeycomb Shades
When it comes to upgrading your home’s window treatments, you want a window treatment that not only looks amazing but can provide all kinds of helpful benefits to your home. The best window treatments add value to your home, and achieving this balance doesn’t have to come at the cost of sacrificing style. At Appalachian Blind and Closet Co., we carry a vast collection of Hunter Douglas window treatments, and this month, we’re taking the time to unpack one of our most versatile options available: honeycomb shades. Honeycomb shades come in an array of colors, textures, opacities, and even operating systems, making it a breeze to customize the perfect solution for your home. At the same time, honeycomb shades are known for their energy efficiency, so you enjoy beautiful windows while improving the value of your home. Here are just a few reasons why we love to recommend our Duette® Honeycomb Shades.
Improved Energy Efficiency
Of course, this benefit is at the top of our list. Window treatments can be responsible for up to 30% of your home’s energy losses, which adds up to costly heating and cooling bills. Duette® Honeycomb Shades feature a uniquely shaped interior designed to trap air within its pockets, creating a buffer between your home’s interior and exterior, which works to minimize both excessive energy loss and solar heat gain. In the summer, this means you enjoy a cool and comfortable home with windows accented in designer fashion. In the winter, your honeycomb shades will improve your home’s insulation and lock in the heat.
Convenience
Duette® Honeycomb Shades feature several operating systems to choose from, including cordless touch operation and motorized systems. With PowerView® Automation, you can control your home’s natural lighting from the convenience of your smartphone. With the PowerView® smartphone app, you can create custom Scenes that remember your favorite lighting positions and schedule your honeycomb shades to open and close on their own throughout the day.
Privacy
With Top-Down/Bottom-Up control, you can position incoming light without having to completely raise your honeycomb shades into the headrail. Achieving a room full of soft, natural light doesn’t have to come at the cost of exposing your home to excessive sun and the busy street. And, with motorized control, like PowerView® Automation, you can quickly set the tone with the press of a button, so you don’t have to fuss with positioning your shades every time.
Style
Duette® Honeycomb Shades come in a gorgeous selection of colors, textures, and patterns with the exclusive Alustra® Collection. This collection brings fashion-inspired decor to your windows and is sure to make an eye-catching impression. With crisp, clean folds, the structure of Duette® is perfect for adding visual interest to your windows, creating depth, and making your space feel more engaging.
