Top Energy-Saving Window Treatments

Choosing the right window treatment doesn’t only enhance your home’s interior and exterior appeal, but it can also lead to more energy savings. With so many Kansas City, Overland Park, and Prairie Village window treatments to choose from, it can be hard to select one that will provide you with the most energy savings.

Window Treatments

Fortunately, you can count on a trustworthy shutter contractor such as The BlindBroker to discuss a wide range of window treatments to help you choose the best one for your home.

Draperies

Their thermal performance is reliant on many factors including fabric and color. You can prevent heat buildup in your home by closing them on windows that allow direct sunlight. You can optimize their performance by installing a cornice at the top of your drapery or placing the drapery against the ceiling.

Shades

Properly installed shades make for simple yet efficient energy-saving window treatments. They should be mounted close to the glass with the sides of the shade positioned close to the wall to contain air in the area. Dual shades, on the other hand, are more energy-efficient as one side features a highly reflective surface while the reverse side can absorb heat for a cozier home.

Shutters

Among the window treatments available in the market, plantation shutters serve as a top choice for many homeowners. Our shutters require space to the side of the window when they’re opened. They offer weather protection, increased security, and superior insulation.

Our plantation shutters are made exclusively from North American Hardwoods. We can customize, paint, and stain them to match your home’s theme. With our product, you have the assurance of more energy savings.
