Saving Energy with Shades

Like most people today we all want to cut back on the dollars we spend for heating and cooling our homes. We don't want to be uncomfortable, but we simply can't stand the utility cost which seem to be increasing with every coming month.

Consider cellular shades! Honeycomb cellular shades will provide filtered light to enter the home and illuminate the space and at the same time keep much of the heat and or cold out. As with any shade the henderance will be that shades are either open or closed. They cannot be tilted like a wood blind to allow for partial viewing. Actually YES! in one respect they can be! Some cellular shades are available with options like top down, bottom up. This means the shade can be lowered from the top and raised from the bottom. This option allows one to let more light in and limit the view in from the outside. Also, cellular shades come with an R- Rating, just like home insulation and the more efficient modern windows of today. Other features are also available, such as cordless shades or even easy lift which limits the number of cords to one. Colors and sizes are many.

My weather man says we are lucky this year. Temperatures are lower than normal and we can all breath easier. While he maybe correct, someone forgot to tell my electric company. I urge you! Consider Honeycomb Cellular Shades when trying to cut cost and still enjoy a modern stylish home.

From Spring,Texas where the temperatures lower, but the humidity is sweltering. I wish you a wonderful August weekend.
