Stay Cool in the Summer with Cellular Shades
Homeowners looking to keep their home cooler in the summer will find a unique solution in the one-of-a-kind construction of cellular shades. This style of window covering utilizes air pockets sewn into the shade horizontally like slats on a blind for insulation. These air pockets create an insulating layer within the shade, making these treatments excellent at blocking energy transfer through windows. And since experts estimate that up to 30% of unwanted energy transfer in a home can occur through windows, upgrading to new cellular shades can make quite a difference this summer as you try to stay calm through the seasonal heat.
3 Ways Cellular Shades Keep Homes Cooler
1: Insulating against solar heat
While natural sunlight has many benefits, in the summer, the solar heat that travels with it is almost always unwelcome. That’s because solar heat will raise interior temperatures to uncomfortable highs and increase the amount of costly air conditioning that is needed to regulate the space. Cellular shades use their inner insulating air pockets to block natural sunlight, keeping solar heat out of a home so that it cannot affect the interior atmosphere.
2: Preventing energy loss
Just like you don’t want solar heat coming in and disrupting the homeostasis of your home environment, you also don’t want your AC escaping because then you’re paying to cool the outside. The insulation from cellular shades works both ways, keeping heat out but also keeping cool in. This creates stability in the interior temperature of your home and does so with passive efficiency helping to save energy without consuming any additional energy.
3: Keeping energy costs cool
There’s nothing that gets the blood boiling more than a high energy bill, and with Atlantic coast summers being a mix of humidity and heat, often ACs push energy consumption, and the resulting bills sky high. Stay cool at home physically and financially with cellular shades that organically keep temperatures lower, resulting in smaller monthly energy bills, which every homeowner will agree is quite cool.
