5 Treatments that Lower Your Heating Bill

Did you know that you can lower your heating bill with effective window treatments? Your windows can lose as much as 50% of the heat in your home! Even modern energy efficient windows are still a major source of heat loss in the winter. This heat loss is also a major source of discomfort, which is explained by the Mean Radiant Temperature effect. (Time for a little science, bear with us!)

Mean Radiant Temperature (MRT) effect is roughly the average temperature of all the objects or surfaces in a space. An MRT that is warmer than the skin temperature of a person will cause the person to feel warmer, and an MRT that is colder than the skin temperature of a person in the room will cause that person to feel colder. If a cold window is lowering the average room temperature it will feel colder than it really is. Raising the average increases home comfort. It is easy to see how an effective window treatment can not only save energy costs but will contribute greatly to your home comfort.

So let’s look at the top 5 options for putting a stop to your hard earned heating dollars literally flying out the window! In order here are 5 options to Lower Your Heating Bill;

#1 – Cellular Shades with Side Channels

Insulating cellular shades offer much more insulation than standard rollers or blinds. They do this by trapping air within the shades as well as between the shade and the window itself. The most efficient fabrics combine multiple cells with a metallized polyester layer that acts as a barrier to radiant heat. This layer of insulation is most effective when combined with side channel weatherstripping that increases the efficiency of this treatment by  2.5 to 3X. At a combined R-Value of over 7 this is your most effective option. We have hundreds of options of fabric for this system, with colours to suit any decor.

#2 – Insulated Cellular blinds

Some consumers prefer blinds that can be operated on the window, not strictly up or down like typical cellular or roller shades. Operable Cell Blinds offer the convenient operation of a blind with the soft fabric look and feel of a shade. Innovative fully functional vanes compress to offer a clear view and expand to 1″ cells to provide significant insulation for year round energy efficiency. On the left in the picture below you can see the shade in the closed position, like a standard cellular shade, but on the right the open position is illustrated. This is a very versatile option with a variety of hardware systems to choose from exclusively at Stevens Creek Shutter Co.

# 3 – Roman Shades

Roman Shades are a classic choice for traditional home style and function. When combined with a substantial face fabric and insulated lining Roman Shades can be a great choice. For maximum insulation value the shades should be mounted tight to the window and allow as little air flow as possible. The are versions available that combine the look of fabric with side channels to block airflow. Best of all the versatility of roman shades add control over view, privacy, and glare.

# 4 – Insulated Drapery

Sometimes the best choices are the tried and true.

Our Victorian ancestors would combat un-insulated walls, leaky windows and dodgy heating systems with heavy lined drapery. Often installed ceiling to floor and wall to wall the warm velvets and heavy brocades of the era did more than add romance and elegance. They acted as insulation to keep out the winter cold! Even beds were surrounded by beautiful draperies to keep things cozy. Now we are not trying to suggest that heavy draperies are a practical solution for everyone, but done well with a header to trap air at the top and well fitted they are in fact an effective option.

# 5 – Automated Window Treatments

It might seem obvious, but in order for any of these treatments to work effectively they need to be closed completely in order to insulate. The highest level of efficiency is seen today in net zero commercial projects and what they all have in common is automated window coverings. By automating the treatments to close when needed, and open when there is sufficient sun for thermal heat gain you insure that the chosen treatments are getting 100% utilization. More affordable than ever, motorization with automated controls allows you to have total peace of mind that you are able to lower your heating bill as effectively as possible. Stevens Creek Shutter Co is a Somfy Motorization Expert and we have many options to choose from in all price ranges.

Roller Blinds Ottawa

Roller Blinds Ottawa

Roller blinds are one of the most popular treatments that we carry, and today they are more versatile than ever. For Roller Blinds Ottawa there are many benefits to consider.

Some of the benefits of roller shades include;

• Cost Effective: rollers shades can be one of the most cost effective treatments available.
• Low Profile: compact and simple to operate with cassette options that blend with any style of decor. Once retracted it is often hard to even tell there is a shade in the window, and when planned in advance of construction roller shades can be easily hid in pockets above the window opening.
• Operating Systems: easy to use with a large variety of operating options available from chain control, cordless to motorized. With carefully selected fabrics and hardware options very large expanses of window can be covered effectively.
• Light Control: Screen Weave, Sheer Weave and other light filtering options are perfectly designed for ‘daylighting’. Allowing for heat and glare control, while still enjoying natural light and a filtered view.
• Options: There are literally 1000’s of fabric choices to match any decor. And if the match somehow can’t be found we can laminate fabrics unto roller shades, or even custom print patterns and designs.
• Versatility: While most commonly found indoors we can provide roller systems for exterior applications.

Screen Weave Roller Shades

The rising cost of energy makes energy saving roller screens an obvious choice. Even on windows where you have no desire for privacy you can lower your air conditioning bills significantly without losing your view by installing Screen Weave solar shades. We offer 100’s of options, and have in depth knowledge on the appropriate choices to get the results you desire for your project.

Laminated Roller Shades

If you have a fabric or wallpaper that you just can’t get enough of we can laminate your material to a roller shade backing, making your favourite pattern a functional element in your room decor.

Printed Roller Shades

Primarily our commercial clients have been our best customers for this option. We can print logos and other graphics directly to plain or screen weave roller shades that highlight your business messaging. We’ve successfully installed many of these systems for national retailers that have a requirement for glare and heat control, but still want to make the best use possible of their customer facing window areas. And if you want to really get creative at home, we can print any image on your shades you would like. Are you an art fan? How about your favourite painting? As long as you hold the rights, or have common license we can print any image unto shades.

Cordless Roller Shades

Created with child safety in mind cordless control options have come a long was from the roller shades of the past. Do you remember the yank, yank, and then zoom release to spin madly at the top of the window? Those days are long gone, with the internal control mechanism in today’s cordless roller shade making smooth and precise of your shades possible.

Motorized Roller Shades

We are Somfy Certified Motorization Experts, with training and experience in specifying and installing motorized roller shade systems. They can be as simple as the Maxxmar Solo A1 system that employs a switched wand with a rechargeable internal battery. This system is available starting at only $99 per shade (plus the cost of selected fabric). We can integrate your motorized shades into a home automation system as well, with nearly limitless options to suit your project.

Roller Shade Blackout Systems

When you need 100% room darkening a blackout roller shade with side channels and cassette can be installed to make your room as dark as you need it. WIth weatherstripping closing the gaps it’s a great solution for boardrooms, home theatre rooms and other areas where total light control is essential.

Dual Roller Shades

Want it all? Privacy, light control, and transparency? You can have it all with dual shades, which combine two shades under one cassette. Combine whatever fabrics you want for total control.

Manufacturers

HunterDouglas PowerView Motorization

Here is an installation we did recently of Hunter Douglas Roller Shades motorized with the HunterDouglas PowerView System, utilizing an Android Mobile App and Powerview Hub to control the shades.

HUNTERDOUGLAS POWERVIEW

Installing the PowerView Mobile App means your shades will be controlled with the swipe of a finger. Scene Settings add functionality, programming shades with automated commands. Your blinds can be programmed to follow the changing seasons and react to sunset and sunrise times automatically.

HunterDouglas PowerView on iOS

On this installation we utilized the Hunter Douglas product line, primarily for the choice of “Urban Loft” fabric that the customer loved. We’d have to agree that for this application the choice was stunning.

Powerview Pebble Remotes

The PowerView system can be operated via the PowerView App or via two different types of Pebble controls—a Pebble Remote Control or a Pebble Scene Controller.

The PowerView Pebble Remote Control offers a modern alternative to a traditional remote control, allowing you to pre-set and easily operate up to six different groupings of window treatments—either individually or together—with just a press of a button.

The PowerView Pebble Scene Controller features an advanced display screen that lets you conveniently preview and select room scenes—different combinations of shades and shade positions—that you previously programmed using the PowerView App.

Ergonomically designed and beautiful to look at, the PowerView Pebble is available in seven stylish colors to enhance any décor.

You can also wall mount a PowerView Remote or Scene Controller using the PowerView Surface, available in three on-trend colors.

CONNECT FROM OUTSIDE THE HOME

Clients with health challenges or impairments are provided more accessibility in controlling their window coverings through the use of motorization and automation controls.

Motorized treatments eliminate the control cords on standard treatments that pose a serious risk for children. They ensure child safety adding the element of peace of mind.

And let’s not forget the cool factor, it’s pretty amazing to see these shades operate!

We also have similar functionality from some of our other manufacturers, including Maxxmar and Altex. We have options that include nearly silent motors, and hard-wired systems that never require a battery change! Working with leading edge companies like Somfy and NeoSmart blind control systems there are a world of options to meet the needs or your project.
