Get Ready For Winter with Budget Blinds

Cooler weather will be here before we know it. Now is the time to prep your home to avoid sky-high heating bills this winter.

As much as 50% of a home's heating (and cooling) energy can be lost through windows. Energy efficient window treatments can make a signifant difference to help conserve energy.

Look to Budget Blinds for a number of great solutions that will look great, and save you money year-round. 

Modern options include:

• Cellular shades, also known as honeycomb shades, combine the soft look and energy efficiency of window shades with the functionality of horizontal blinds.
• Layering your curtains or drapery with light filtering or room darkening liners to control light gaps and improve insulation retention.
• Traditional wood shutters use an insulating design that helps make indoor spaces cooler in summer and warmer in winter, keeping your room at an ideal temperature.
• Window film deflects up to 99% of damaging UV rays, reducing heat gain and protecting your furniture against harmful UV damage.
• Floor-to-ceiling drapes that fold back against the wall. This allows the drapes to seal off the window, preventing drafts and loss of heat through convection.
