Why Energy Efficiency Starts at the Window
Even modern windows can let heat escape—especially during Casper’s long, frigid winters. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, up to 30% of residential heating and cooling energy is lost through windows.
Drafts, poor insulation, and solar heat gain all play a role. That’s why energy-efficient window treatments are one of the easiest—and most stylish—ways to:
- Reduce heat loss
- Improve indoor comfort
- Lower monthly energy bills
- Protect furnishings from UV damage
Cellular Shades
When it comes to insulation, cellular (or honeycomb) shades are a top performer. Their unique pocketed design traps air, creating a thermal barrier between your windows and the room.
Roman Shades
If you’re looking for softness and style with insulation, Roman shades offer the best of both worlds. When lined with thermal backing, they block drafts while adding visual warmth.
Layered Draperies
Custom drapery panels with insulated or blackout linings offer excellent coverage and warmth—especially when layered over shades or blinds.
Shutters
Interior shutters are more than beautiful—they also act as built-in insulation. When closed, they fit tightly against the window frame, reducing airflow and blocking out cold.
Dual Shades
Dual shades, sometimes called zebra shades, feature alternating sheer and opaque fabrics for adjustable light and privacy. While not full blackout, they can still provide moderate insulation when closed.
Solar Shades
Solar shades are best known for reducing glare and blocking UV rays, but in Casper homes with large south-facing windows, they can also reduce solar heat loss in winter and control heat gain in summer.
Motorized Shades
Motorized window treatments don’t just add convenience—they can also save energy. Schedule them to close at sunset and open with the sun to maximize natural light and warmth.
Why Custom Window Treatments Matter in Casper
Off-the-shelf curtains or blinds often don’t fit right—leaving gaps that let in cold drafts. That’s why we always recommend custom-fit window treatments, especially in cold climates like ours.
