Hunter Douglas Style: Applause honeycomb shades with Standard Cordlock
Window coverings are more than fashionable. They are tools to save energy resources, valves to control the flow of energy, and important contributors to reducing energy use, utility costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
Windows were once called “wind holes”. Today’s windows do a good job of preventing unwanted air-flow, but closed windows still offer very little resistance to the flow of heat. Standard double pane windows allow 10 to 15 times more energy and heat to flow through them. So, even though windows make up only about 10% of a home’s insulated shell, up to 50% of the home’s heating and cooling energy pour through them.
When you choose Hunter Douglas for your window coverings, you’re doing more than saving money. You’re also enhancing the look of your home. By choosing Hunter Douglas, the most respected and sought after brand, you’re increasing the resale value of your home as well.
