Want a More Energy-Efficient Home?

From aesthetics to light and privacy control, window treatments offer differing benefits. You can narrow your window treatment selection based on your goals and how well the treatment will meet those goals. One thing that some types of treatments offer is a high level of insulation at the window, which can increase the energy efficiency of a room. At Ross Howard Designs here in Dallas, we know that many of our customers enjoy saving on their energy bills—if that’s something you’re interested in, read on, and speak with one of our consultants for more info.

Adding Insulation to the Window

An untreated window can lose 30% or more of a room’s hot or cold air. Having pioneered creating the honeycomb shade, Hunter Douglas has gone on to improve their energy-efficient treatments. In fact, the Attachments Energy Rating Council (AERC) chose Hunter Douglas as the first to receive their verified energy rating and certification for interior window coverings. You can find the AERC certification Hunter Douglas products such as:

• Sonnette™ Cellular Roller Shades. The new, round, sculptured construction of the Sonnette cellular roller shade is being called “the new shape of light.” These beautiful rolling cells gently diffuse sunlight throughout the room while creating a sense of privacy.
• Duette® Honeycomb Shades. Duette Honeycomb shades offer a simple, sleek look for modern spaces, but also work well in traditional settings. The ultimate benefit, of course, is that they almost pay for themselves with the energy savings you’ll enjoy
• Applause® Honeycomb Shades. Unlike some other brands of cellular shades, Applause is created with a double cell, which offers increased insulation over regular single-cell construction.

Innovation

Innovation drives Hunter Douglas by thinking of new ways to solve challenges through creating new and proprietary window coverings. Our Hunter Douglas window products add unique luxury and style to any room while also providing advanced solutions to everyday needs, such as managing light, insulating the window, child safety, sound absorption, motorization technology, and much more.
