Choosing the Best Blinds for Energy Efficiency: A Homeowner's Guide

August 30, 2024

As responsible homeowners, we are always exploring innovative strategies to enhance our homes' energy efficiency. A great part of this quest is selecting the right window treatments. It's a crucial aspect often overlooked, despite research indicating about 30% of a home's heating energy is lost through windows. Amongst the array of window treatments available, energy-efficient blinds from Flaunt Interiors & Real Estate have emerged as a game-changer in managing energy costs while injecting a dose of style into your home decor. 


Read on as we guide you on how to choose the best blinds for maximizing energy efficiency and aesthetics.


Why Choose Energy-Efficient Blinds?


Energy-efficient blinds, with their unique construction and design, can enhance the insulation of your house, reducing unnecessary heat gain or loss. As a result, less energy is required to keep your home warm during winters, and cool during summers, effectively reducing your energy bills. 


What to Consider When Choosing Energy-Efficient Blinds?


To choose the best energy-efficient blinds, consider factors such as material, style, colour, and even the control systems. 


1. Material


To improve energy efficiency, opt for blinds made from fabric that possesses insulating properties. Honeycomb blinds, also known as cellular shades, are particularly effective. Their unique structure creates air pockets that trap heat, providing excellent insulation. 


2. Style


Roller shades, Roman shades, and Zebra shades are among the styles known to offer energy efficiency. At Flaunt Interiors & Real Estate, we offer these and more, including Dream Curtains and Honeycomb Day/Night Top Down-Bottom Up blinds. 


3. Colour


The colour of your blinds plays a key role in energy efficiency. Lighter shades reflect heat, making them ideal for warm climates or sunny rooms, while darker colours absorb heat, making them suitable for cooler climates or less sunny spaces. 


4. Control Systems


Energy-efficient blinds can be manual, gravity-controlled, or motorized. Our state-of-the-art smart blinds allow you to control your blinds remotely, giving you more control over the room's temperature throughout the day. 


Choosing the Right Energy-Efficient Blinds for Each Room


Different rooms may require different types of blinds. Here are some suggestions:


Bedroom: Opt for Honeycomb blinds or Dream Curtains. These will not only provide superior insulation but also ensure complete blackout for those who don't want any light sneaking in. 


Living Room: Roller shades, Roman shades, or Zebra shades can provide both insulation and a stylish aesthetic appeal. 


Kitchen: The Tri-fold style is a good choice for the kitchen as it offers insulation and is easy to clean.
