How to calculate heat savings from cellular blinds

So you know you need to stop energy transfer from your windows, but you need help determining exactly what kind of shade is required. Do you need a honeycomb shade or a cellular blind, or do you need to go even further with blind liners and drapes? Make an informed decision based on the facts of your home.

Here is an insulation calculator from Home Depot. It helps you determine your insulation requirements based on the size of your house, where you live and many other factors. It is an overall calculator that factors in the heat source for your home, but by manipulating the window variables, you can see just how much your windows effect the heating of your home. Having cellular blinds installed is one of the most effective methods to see a change here.

Just because they serve an important energy-saving purpose, buying cellular blinds does not mean you have to skip out on decorating your house. Cellular blinds come in custom matched colors. You can even put colored inserts in the shade rails as you please. These UV-resistant shades will protect your furniture while coordinating with your interior.

Through your windows, heat goes out in the winter and in through the summer. Depending on where you live and what direction your windows are facing you may want to invest in cellular blinds to keep your energy bills down. Honeycomb blinds work by trapping air in a honeycomb of pockets which act as efficient insulators. Double cell cellular shades have two layers of these air pockets for maximum performance.

The main benefits of cellular shades are:
Reduced energy consumption
Which leads to Lower Energy Bills
Blocks UV light to prevent furniture fading
Maintains consistent interior temperature
Increased HVAC Efficiency
