Cellular Blinds for Lower Energy Costs

Cellular blinds are also known as honeycomb blinds and are among the most stylish and convenient styles available. They come in ready-made and custom designs, many types of fabric and other material, and numerous shades, patterns, and textures. Any window in any home or office could benefit from the style and efficiency of these window coverings.

Energy Efficiency

One of the major reasons consumers love cellular blinds in preference to roller or ready made Roman blinds is that they are designed with small “cells” or pockets which provide a layer of insulation. When applied properly to windows and doors, they protect against drafts or lower the temperature on hot days. In other words, they cut down on your heating and air-conditioning costs.

Cellular blinds are very useful too because they are available in bottom-opening, top-opening, and dual-position configurations. This allows home and business owners to block sunlight wherever it is at any time of the day all year long, yet let in natural light. Most blinds only allow the user to alter how much of a gap they open up from the bottom or the side, which means the window might be completely covered at certain times, and that can be gloomy. Worse, you would need to have the lights on in spite of the fact that it is full daylight outside.

UV Protection

One of the biggest concerns for parents these days in regard to environmental dangers is that their children’s skin will be over-exposed to UV light. Their children need to have some sun exposure (vitamin D) for good health, but too much puts them at risk of developing skin cancer. Even indoors, the sun is powerful enough to cause damage to skin (not to mention fading flooring and furniture). Reduce the risks of damage by choosing ready made Roman blinds, honeycomb blinds, or other coverings that are made with light filtration features. Several varieties are even sold to create a completely dark environment during day: useful and important in a baby’s room when nap time could be any time. They also block out a lot of sound to create a peaceful environment that fosters rest.
