Energy Efficient
Blinds and shades are generally ‘green’ by design. Their insulating and light blocking capabilities reduce energy cost and consumption. Insulating your home can help to reduce heating and cooling costs by as much as 30%.

Massive amounts of heat can escape from sliding glass doors, sending your energy costs sky high. Try the American Blinds® Double Cellular Slider Vertical Blinds or American Blinds 3/4" Cellular Slider Vertical Shades. (Pictured at right) These sliding window treatments are ideal for over doors, wide windows and as room dividers.

American Blinds® Cellular Shades (pictured at left) the cellular design traps air which insulates against the cold during the winter and the heat in the summer.

If you want the energy benefits of cellular shades, but the look of drapery style fabrics, try our
Comfortex Fusion Insulating Roman Shades. Combining the beauty of drapery style fabric with the insulating benefits of a cellular shade, our Comfortex Fusion Insulating Roman Shades offer a product that is as functional as it is beautiful. The horizontal fabric panels hang smoothly over a double honeycomb liner and when raised, the panels nest neatly behind one another.
