Energy Efficient Window Treatments

Portrait™ Honeycomb shades are an excellent choice for homeowners seeking the ultimate in energy efficiency, ideal for colder climates. Their innovative honeycomb design traps heat within their pockets, blocking hot air in summer and retaining warmth in winter. This ensures year-round comfort and potential energy savings.

Benefits of Energy Efficient Window Treatments

  • Improving energy performance: Energy-efficient window treatments regulate home temperature by controlling heat gain and loss.
  • Enhancing the value of your home: Energy-efficient window treatments boost home value by enhancing aesthetics and protecting against UV damage.
  • Creating more comfortable living spaces: Energy-efficient window treatments reduce drafts and maintain a consistent home temperature.

Shutters: Timeless Style Meets Energy Efficiency

Interior shutters boost energy efficiency by insulating against heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Norman® shutters, with award-winning InvisibleTilt®, ensure louvers close tightly without leakage, minimizing drafts and thermal transfer. This reduces strain on heating and cooling systems, lowering energy costs. For homeowners seeking a stylish, long-term solution to improve efficiency, shutters are a smart choice.

To improve your home’s energy efficiency, consider these habits:

  • In winter, open window treatments in the morning to let the sun naturally heat your home.
  • In summer, keep window coverings closed to minimize heat gain.
  • Adjust window coverings throughout the day to optimize sunlight and heat, reducing energy loss.

Norman® Smart Motorization offers a scheduling function for automatic adjustments. Also, consider the day and night option, featuring two fabrics in one shade. Raise the room-darkening part during extreme heat for enhanced heat blocking.
