Getting your windows ready for Winter!

Winter is quickly approaching! With bad weather and cold temperatures come higher gas bills! Did you know that by adding a window treatment to your window, you are conserving energy, saving money, and making sure your house is keeping in the heat.

We offer many options to our customers to help them conserve energy and save money through this winter season...

• Cellular Shades
Cellular shades have insulating qualities to help keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The construction of cellular shades, which are also known as honeycomb shades, make them an energy saving window treatment.


• Custom Shutters
Wood or composite shutters offer the next best option to cellular shades for insulating your home. Shutters also provide excellent light control, and they coordinate with virtually any décor style.

Combining classic window treatments (i.e. cellular shade, drapery panels, and a custom valance) can be very helpful to you this winter and increase your energy savings by even more! We also offer drapery panels with thermal linings for maximum insulation.


Remember, appropriately installed window treatments can cut heat loss by up to 25% according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

Window coverings add an inviting finishing touch to any room,  and during winter they can help keep your home warm and cozy. To update your window coverings, schedule a free in-home consultation today by visiting www.budgetblinds.com/request-consultation today!
