Stay warm this winter with Hunter Douglas insulating window treatments from Just Right Blinds

The patented cell within a cell design of Hunter Douglas Duette Honeycomb blinds makes them one of the most energy efficient choices available to cover your windows.

Stay warm at home this winter while saving on utility bills! 

Now is the perfect time to ask Just Right Blinds about adding insulating Hunter Douglas window treatments to help get your home ready for cold temperatures.

Cold winter days draw radiant heat loss through window glass even when your windows are tightly sealed.  The entire room feels chilled, and the usual response is to turn up the thermostat. Unfortunately this increases your heating bill without helping you feel warmer.

A high quality insulating window treatment slows this heat loss and keeps warmth inside without raising your thermostat and utility bills. Here are options from Just Right Blinds:

• The Duette Architella shade is one of the best energy efficient choices available.  A patented cell within a cell design traps warm air and prevents it from escaping through cold glass. 

• Other excellent insulating options from Hunter Douglas include Sonnette Cellular Roller Shades. 
  

        Other options can further increase energy efficiency. Add the LightLock system to Duette Honeycomb blinds and get total blackout for sleep or watching movies, as well as even more insulation at the window. Top-down/bottom-up or Duolite design option can dramatically improve the daylighting factor of your blinds, diffusing incoming sunlight and bringing its warmth deeper into your room during daytime.

You can also improve energy efficiency during the cold winter months by raising your blinds at the right time during the day to let in solar heat. The Hunter Douglas PowerView motorization system, available through Just Right Blinds, lets you program your blind operation and even control it remotely with your smartphone or tablet.

Just Right Blinds & Shutters Offers Blinds to Reduce Heat from Skylights

Block summer heat from a bedroom skylight with a Hunter Douglas Duette Honeycomb Shade.

Skylights give your rooms a brighter, more open and airy feeling beyond what standard windows can offer. Skylights, however, have the potential to let sunlight overheat your rooms in summer and allow heat to escape in winter. What can you do?

Just Right Blinds & Shutters has skylight shades from Hunter Douglas that will help you stay comfortable this summer and all year round. Here are tips on how to choose the right style of skylight shade:

Choose for location

If your skylights are in areas that get a lot of sun—especially bedrooms or media rooms—you might want to consider skylight shades with a room-darkening or blackout fabric. If they're in rooms like kitchens or bathrooms that don't require complete darkness, choose a light-filtering fabric that will bring in natural light while still blocking harsh rays. 

Choose for energy efficiency & sound absorption

Cellular shades like Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades, are one of the most popular skylight window treatments because their cellular design provides a layer of insulation at the window. 

For even more energy efficiency, there's a honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb shade called Duette® Architella® that features more layers of fabric and insulating air pockets. Considering how much sun might be coming through your skylights and the fact that up to 50% of a home's heating and cooling energy can be lost through your windows, Duette Architella shades can be a worthwhile investment.

The extra layer of insulation from Duette or Duette Architella can also help absorb unwanted sounds from the outside, another benefit for a bedroom or media room.

Choose for the operating system

Skylight blinds and shades are hard to reach, so you need an operating system made specially for them. With Hunter Douglas, it's easy to find.  For example, Duette and Duette Architella honeycomb shades are available with a Skylift™ system that lets you control your shades either manually with a hand crank or telescoping pole for hard-to-reach skylight windows, or automatically with the PowerView® Motorization system.

Choose to blend with your decor

Hunter Douglas blinds are a great choice for skylight windows because you can select from such a wide range of styles, colors and textures to fit any décor, from traditional to contemporary. There’s a choice available that’s sure to suit your needs.

Keep in mind that since skylights are often focal points of a room, you'll want a skylight window covering that doesn't detract from the décor, but adds to the overall style.
