So long 2011, Hello 2012!

As the year comes to a close, we're starting to see the first real winter weather... We've been pretty lucky so far, with temperatures in November and even December above freezing. With colder days on the way, you may once again be wondering what can be done to keep your home warmer but keep the heating costs down.

Duette Architella Honeycomb shades from Hunter Douglas are a great way to not only gain the privacy and design appeal of a window treatment, but also insulate your windows against winter's chill. Architella's innovative honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb construction provides three layers of insulating air between your window and your warm room.


In the winter, as much as 40% of the heat that escapes a home can be attributed to its windows. A Duette Architella shade could bring your windows' R-value up to about 7.5, and has the potential to reduce heat loss by 50%.

of the greatest heat loss.

These versatile shades are available in both room darkening as well as semi-opaque and can accommodate windows very small to very large. Several operating styles (including cordless!) mean the shades are easy to use and adaptable to just about any situation.

Tame the sun, enjoy the view!

Energy Efficiency

Without energy-efficient window treatments, as much as 50% of a home's heating and cooling energy can be lost through its windows. All Hunter Douglas window fashions provide window insulation, offering your home increased protection against heat loss during the winter, as well as minimizing the sun's heat or "solar heat" during the summer.

Solar Heat Control

The warmth provided by the sun, its solar energy, may be desirable during the winter to help heat your home, yet it can make a room overly hot and uncomfortable while driving up air conditioning costs in the summer. Many Hunter Douglas products are designed to reduce the amount of solar heat that passes through the window, which is known as the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). The lower the SHGC, the more protected your home is from the sun's heat. To enjoy the sun's warmth when desired, simply raise or open the window fashion and invite it in.

Form & Function

Daylighting

Daylighting is the practice of lighting rooms with natural light rather than generating illumination from electricity. With Hunter Douglas window fashions, you can control how much natural light comes into your room. Our sheers and other select styles actually diffuse light as it enters and help to draw it deeper into the room. By drawing natural light into a room many of our window treatments reduce your energy needs for other types of lighting.

Styles such as Screen Roller shades (left) allow you to maintain an open feel, and keep a view while tamping down the glare of the sun by up to 99%.

Others, like Nantucket Sunscreen shadings (above,right) offer the view-through of screen shades while allowing you to tilt soft louvers for added light control & nighttime privacy.
For the ultimate in heat/cold insulation, look to Hunter Douglas Duette Architella shades (left). Their exclusive, innovative 'honeycomb within a honeycomb' design gives you three pockets of insulating air between you and your window, creating an R-value of up to 7.18 or a SHGC value as low as 0.17

UV Protection

Just as sunscreen protects our skin from the sun's damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays, window treatments protect our room interiors and add to the lifespan of valuable possessions. Virtually every Hunter Douglas product filters out at least 75% of the sun's harmful UV rays when installed over double-glazed glass windows. Many of our products provide even greater protection, up to 99%, when fully lowered and with slats, vanes or louvers in the fully closed position. The rating of Good to Excellent to Superior for this product will partly depend on the fabrics and product features you choose and whether your window covering is opened, closed, raised or lowered.
For additional statistics or information on these or other possible options, get in touch with us!
