Window Decor

Which window shades insulate best for Virginia summers and winters?

Honeycomb, or cellular, shades insulate best. The air pockets in each cell slow heat moving in both directions, which helps with hot Northern Virginia summers and cold winters. Within the Hunter Douglas line, Duette® Architella® places a cell inside a cell, which is the best insulation Hunter Douglas makes. Window Decor can show you Duette® honeycomb shades in our Route 29 showroom or at your home. Top-down/bottom-up and motorized versions are available, so you can insulate the glass and still control privacy and light. A design consultant can compare fabrics and opacities on your own windows.
