Best energy efficient blinds!
What is the best way to reduce the cost of HVAC and help to combat climate change? Well, choosing the best treatment for the windows will go a long way. Here's how to select the blinds and shades for your home that are most energy efficient.
You typically have a choice of four different materials when you're shopping for new blinds or shades: wood, composite, fabric or metal.
Each one of these has various benefits. For instance, reflective aluminum shades, since they reflect warm sunlight away from the windows, are a viable solution for hot weather. But in cold weather, they're not so pleasant.
On cold days, fabric shades will insulate and keep the heat out on hot days. They are more adaptable and the way they look is preferred by most people.
