Energy Saving With The Right Choice Of Blinds

More and more people are realising how important it is to have a well-insulated house. Otherwise, you are just throwing money away in heating and cooling the home. But what you might not know is that one way you can save energy in your home is by using honeycomb blinds at some or all of the windows. Just with that purchase you can save money and help the planet. Here is a look at these kinds of blinds and how they work.

Why are these kinds of blinds energy efficient?

The reason for their insulating properties is their thickness and the design of those honeycomb-like cells. Just as with any blind such as motorised blinds, you might buy, these blinds filter light coming into the home as well as offer privacy. But you can get three thickness levels with these blinds, single, double and triple and each thickness increases how well it insulates. If you have very draughty and old windows you would choose double or triple cells to better insulate the room. It is literally two times or three times the effect. The more cells you have in a blind the heavier it is so you will have to consider that. On a larger window, you might need to go with single or double-layer blinds as a triple on a large window is too heavy.

Then there is the shape of the cells, the very design of this type of blind. This is not just an attractive feature to offer people for aethetic reasons, there is a practical purpose to it. The air gets trapped in those cells and that stops cold air from getting into the home and it stops heated or cooled air from leaving. Just as with the thickness, a triple blind will insulate better because there are more cells than in a single-cell blind.

Attractive as well as functional

Honeycomb blinds are not just practical in nature and people do not only choose them for their energy-efficient properties. They can also look great in whatever room you use them in, and they work effectively as blinds too. Control the lighting in the room by choosing how many layers are in the blind. A single layer of cells is going to let more light in than one with triple the cells. For a more moody, softer ambience you would then choose the three-layer option. You can get these blinds in a variety of colours and looks so you can perfectly match the needs of each room depending on the look you are going for. There are also different types, cordless, vertical, blackout, cellular and more so you can think about what best suits that specific room and window.

Summary

Having energy-efficient window treatments is a great decision to save yourself money. They can also be very attractive and are easy to find online and in shops. You might even decide to get motorised blinds so you can open and close them from where you are sitting or lying down.
