Whether you live in the cold Northern areas of the country or the sun drenched South, window treatments are an important part of maintaining an eco-friendly home. In addition to the great potential to add beauty to any room, properly chosen window treatments should help in maintaining the desired temperature in a home.

Be sure that the treatment you choose will function as needed for your climate. Completely covering a window in colder areas may seem the best way, but be sure to take advantage of passive solar heat during the day. We suggest you choose lined draperies or roman shades for a traditional look, or in combination with newer offerings like Duette honeycomb shades. The newest version called Architella offers the highest insulation value available.

Solid wood plantation shutters are excellent insulators and allow the flexibility of allowing the solar rays into the home during the day, and closing out the cold when needed.
