Best Custom Insulated Window Coverings

If there's one thing we know about Albuquerque, it's that the temperatures push both ends of the scale. Summers are roasting, and winters, while short, can be blustery and cold. A proper HVAC system can work wonders, but seeking outside help such as insulated window coverings can provide an excellent assist and positively impact your energy bill.

Energy Saving Window Coverings

Air conditioning is a life-changer when your summers are as hot as the ones in New Mexico. The one downside is that as the temperature rises, your energy bill tends to follow. There are steps to improve this (turning off your AC system while everyone is at school/work is popular), but optimizing the areas where HVAC systems are most inefficient is often overlooked.

25% of heat loss occurs through the windows and doors in a house - reducing areas of heavy heat transfer can improve the efficiency of your heating/cooling system and save money on your monthly energy bill. Select window treatments can aid in improving that efficiency.

Insulated Cellular Shades

Hunter Douglas Cellular Shades might be the most universally useful of all the products we offer. These insulated window blinds are specially engineered with an internal layer meant to trap air and limit how fast heat transfers across the shade. In layman's terms, these shades slow how fast your nice, AC-cooled air is warmed up by the outdoors. Properly implemented, they can provide a massive benefit to your energy efficiency and save you a lot of money.

Fortunately for everyone, Hunter Douglas didn't sacrifice fashion for function. For energy-saving blinds, honeycomb/cellular shades can still be an aesthetic highlight for any room. These light-filtering cellular shades offer superb light control and are available in everything from sheer to blackout level opacities. Sales jargon aside, these shades are awesome and improve the quality of life for anyone who uses them.

Powerview® Motorized Shades and Blinds

If you want to take things to the next level, any of our blinds or shades can be automated. This carries three main benefits:

  1. Set a schedule for your shades: Have your blinds lowered during the day to protect your flooring and furniture, and have them rise right as you get home. You get all the benefits of UV-Protection and energy efficiency without ever having to miss a sunset.
  2. Visual appeal: Removing the need for a wand and clean up your window's profile. Introducing motorization allows you to upgrade your view along with added convenience.
  3. Smart home integration: Powerview® offers powerful compatibilities with most smart home systems, including Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and more. There's something inherently fun about giving a vocal command and watching your shades rise.
For ease and further convenience, we have another trick up our sleeve for our energy-saving motorized shades. We have Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation! Using either our Pebble® Remote Control or our PowerView® App, you can simply input the times when you want your insulated window coverings to open and close.
 
The benefits of motorized shades are countless. Set your shades to open at the same time as your morning alarm; you can time your blinds to close right as the sun sets or set them to open as the sun rises. You set your window coverings to open and close at any time. It's that easy.
