With the onset of the summer season, one of the concerns that homeowners usually face is how to maintain a pleasant temperature while keeping that attractive interior décor intact. Window coverings have evolved from being just functional to treating and making your home aesthetically attractive. There are window treatments offered in a wide range of prices to suit anyone’s taste, lifestyle and budget, since another of a homeowner’s cause for a headache are seasonal home improvements that will burn a hole in their pockets.
Aside from frantically installing ceiling fans and air conditioners to prevent the rising temperature from suffocating the entire house, window treatments that are focused on reducing the amount of heat, and lowering your energy bills in the process, are already available in the market. They don’t just efficiently reduce the summer time heat gain, but will enhance and freshen up your home décor at a fraction of the price of buying replacement energy-efficient windows.
One of the best solutions at keeping the heat at bay while also pleasing any energy conscious homeowner at the same time is having insulating window blinds installed such as the honeycomb blinds. Invented in 1970, the name was thought up because, when viewed from the side, the blinds appear as a round honeycomb somewhat like a beehive. These blinds are specifically designed to offer absolute insulation by providing extra filter for the sun’s hot glare and also keeping cold air from entering the room in the cold season. It’s unique construction and innovative pattern makes them the perfect choice that can be used all year round. It will keep your homes cool and refreshing in the summer and warm and cozy in the winter.
Honeycomb blinds come in a variety of materials that can range from translucent to blockout fabrics, depending on your needs. With their light filtering and room darkening feature, they can be appropriate in almost any setting. The translucent fabrics will filter out the UV rays while allowing soft light into the room. This is suitable for rooms that require some lighting like a home study or a bedroom. The other type of honeycomb blinds is the block out variety, which can completely stop any light from entering any room. This will give the room an increased darkness and ensures privacy, typically ideal in bedrooms and home theaters. Notwithstanding its usual function, the honeycomb blinds are also helpful in preventing and neutralizing the noise from the outside. The air pockets that are created by the design will regulate the sound waves from penetrating inside the room, making it a great investment for those living near noisy streets or for somber office settings.
