Energy Efficient Window Treatments for Savannah Homes

Many custom window treatments have energy efficient benefits.

As Savannah residents prepare for warm summer days, a strategic investment in custom window treatments can enhance home comfort, reduce energy consumption, and lower utility bills. 

At Savannah Window Fashions, we understand window treatments are often chosen for their aesthetic appeal and light control capabilities, but many have energy efficiency benefits, too. 

Some of the best options include cellular shades, solar shades, and plantation shutters, each offering unique benefits in terms of style and functionality. By incorporating these options into your design plan, you can create a beautiful and eco-friendly home.

Cellular Shades

Cellular shades blend energy efficiency with effortless style.

Cellular shades are a popular choice, with honeycomb-shaped cells creating small pockets of air that act as insulators — trapping heat in the winter and keeping it out in the summer. With their sleek, modern appearance and customizable options, cellular shades blend energy efficiency with effortless style, making them an ideal choice.

Specific cellular shade products from Alta and Hunter Douglas also offer a federal energy tax credit up to $1200, making them a cost-effective option. They are suitable when used alone, or layered under soft treatments for a polished look.

Insulated Drapes

 Insulated drapes are an elegant solution that blocks drafts and reduces heat transfer through windows.

Insulated custom drapes are another option that can lower your energy consumption and costs by reducing heat transfer through your windows. Available in an endless array of designs and colorways, custom drapes with a blackout lining offer an elegant solution while blocking drafts in the winter and heat in the summer to help maintain consistent indoor temperatures.

Roller Shades & Solar Shades

Solar shades are designed to block UV rays and reduce solar heat gain while preserving outdoor views.

Roller shades and solar shades offer energy efficiency with contemporary style. Solar shades are designed to block UV rays and reduce solar heat gain while preserving outdoor views, making them perfect for sun-drenched Savannah homes. Roller shades offer similar benefits in a variety of fabrics, designs, and patterns. Both options are highly customizable, allowing you to find the perfect balance of light control, privacy, and energy efficiency for your space.

Roman Shades & Woven Wood Shades

Woven wood shades can significantly improve insulation.

Blending beauty, style, and versatility, Roman shades and woven wood shades can significantly improve insulation, especially when they are lined with a light and heat-blocking material and mounted inside the window casing. The range of fabric and material options creates an opportunity to customize your shades while enjoying the energy-saving benefits.
