Are Insulated Window Shades Worth it in California?
When our lows rarely dip below the 50s in southern California, it’s not necessarily apparent why insulated window shades are such an ideal upgrade for homeowners. After all, with weather like ours, the need to keep cold out is minimal, even during winter. Homeowners may be left wondering what the tangible benefits of insulated window shades are. The truth is, however, that insulating cellular shades can benefit homeowners across California as their amenities range far beyond simple insulation.
Benefits of Insulated Window Shades
Beyond keeping the cold out, insulated window shades have numerous benefits for homeowners, including aesthetic upgrades and better control of environmental elements in order to create welcoming home interiors.
1. Year-Round Energy Savings
Duette® Cellular Shades by Hunter Douglas were designed with year-round efficiency in mind. This is because unwanted energy exchange happens through home windows in every season. In the winter, the cold comes in and the heat goes out, while in the summer, the heat comes in and the cool goes out. To better regulate this undesirable inefficiency, insulated window shades block that energy transfer to keep interiors at a more consistent temperature requiring less artificial heating or air conditioning.
2. Sound Reduction
Honeycomb shades are also incredibly efficient at blocking sound. This is thanks to the insulating design that absorbs sound waves to block exterior noise and improve interior acoustics.
3. Modern Styles
Though honeycomb shades have been around since the 80s, their designs haven’t sat stagnant. Engineers at Hunter Douglas have taken the internal honeycomb design of cellular shades and added it to other types of treatments for hybrid insulated window shades with modern style. Solera® Roman Shades and Sonnette® Roller Shades offer all the benefits of classic cellular shades with updated looks and designs.
4. Child-Safe Upgrades
Using motorized operating systems like PowerView® Automation, cellular shades from Hunter Douglas can be transformed into child-safe, cordless insulated window shades. Motorization negates the need for hanging control lines, which pose a strangulation hazard to young children.
5. Enhanced Security
Automated scheduling available through programs like PowerView® add another dimension of security to homes. Schedule your motorized insulated window shades to move while you’re out of town to create the appearance of occupancy or control treatments yourself via the PowerView® app from anywhere in the world with internet access.
6. Dependable Privacy
Pre-schedule automation for motorized insulated shades can also protect your privacy at home. Program shades to automatically close at night for your bedtime routine so you’ll never be left exposed. Plus, the honeycomb design and fabric used for insulated window shades ensure no view for prying eyes.

Benefit from their team’s extensive product knowledge and the showroom’s inventory of the latest designs and styles of modern window treatments as you upgrade your Californian home.
