Energy-efficient window treatments such as cellular shades, insulated drapery and solar shades that reduce sun heat in summer and help windows feel more comfortable in winter.
Windows are where a home gains and loses heat. A good treatment adds a layer that helps rooms feel more comfortable. Homeowners in Nashville add efficient treatments to south and west windows that bake in summer and to drafty rooms in winter.
We explain how different treatments work: cellular shades trap air in their pockets, lined and interlined drapes add a thick layer, solar shades block sun before it warms the room and tight-fitting shutters add a barrier. We discuss how fit matters, since gaps let air move around a shade, and how motorized schedules can close shades in the afternoon sun automatically. We are careful about promises, since results depend on the windows, the house and the weather. Energy savings are modest and real when treatments fit well. A shade that seals at the edges does far more than one with gaps, and a lined drape that reaches the floor does more than one that stops short. We focus on fit and coverage, and we are careful not to promise specific numbers, since every home behaves a little differently.
South and west windows need sun control, and drafty windows benefit from insulating layers.
Cellular shades, insulated drapes, solar shades and shutters each add a different barrier.
Gaps around a shade let air and light move, so mount type and edge control matter.
Motorized schedules close shades when the sun hits and open them when it does not.
