Window Treatments that Can Get Your Home Holiday Ready

The holidays are fast approaching and that means cooler temperatures, festive parties, and house guests. While many things spring to mind when you start thinking about preparing your home for guests, make sure you don’t forget about your windows.

Duette® Honeycomb shades near Parker, Colorado (CO) and window treatments that can get your home holiday-ready

Insulating Against the Cold

Everyone likes to save a little money during the holidays. One of the easiest ways to do that is by looking for energy-saving shortcuts around your home. Weatherstripping around doors and windows is a quick and simple way to eliminate unwanted drafts. Another is by choosing window treatments that can insulate your windows. Honeycomb shades are the industry leader when it comes to energy-efficient window coverings. Duette® by Hunter Douglas is an excellent choice. Duette® Honeycomb Shades are custom made to fit your windows perfectly. Their unique construction traps cold air entering your home from your window, traps it, and prevents it from having an impact on your home’s interior temperature. This reduces the workload on your HVAC system and noticeably reduces your home heating costs. These insulating window treatments will be a favorite of houseguests too. By eliminating cold drafts, Duette® Honeycomb Shades will make your guest room warm and cozy, eliminating tension over thermostat settings.

Child and Pet Safety

When family and friends come to visit for the holidays, they’ll probably be bringing their children and their pets. While your home might not be completely childproof, it’s important to think of safety when it comes to dangling cords or your window treatments. According to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, accessible window treatment cords are one of the top hidden dangers in the home nationwide. Nearly one child a month dies after becoming entangled in a window treatment cord. The good news is there are easy ways to prevent these dangers, including what is perhaps the undisputable solution: window coverings that don’t have cords.

Hunter Douglas offers numerous window treatment options that utilize cordless operating systems. Duette® Honeycomb Shades are available with the revolutionary Top-Down/Bottom-Up operating system. Top-Down/Bottom-Up allows you to simply slide the shades to cover the bottom half of your windows for complete privacy while leaving the top half of your window open to let in natural light. You can slide the top half closed as well to block out light.

Another excellent cordless option from Hunter Douglas is the new PowerView® Motorization system. This brand-new innovation from Hunter Douglas allows you to program your preferred window treatment settings and never think about them again. If you do want to adjust them, simply use the Pebble Remote Control and never leave the comfort of your couch. Or if you’re at work or on vacation, use the PowerView® App and your smart device to adjust them from anywhere on the planet with access to the internet.

Before you get out the holiday decorations, make sure your home is comfortable, safe, and energy-efficient. This will make for a fun, festive, and worry-free holiday season.
