Energy costs keep climbing, and windows are one of the biggest culprits. Windows make up only about 10% of a typical home's surface area, yet they account for 30–40% of a home's heat loss in winter, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).* The right window covering can close much of that gap — DOE-supported research has found that insulating cellular shades alone can cut heating energy use by almost 25%, with the potential to reduce national carbon emissions by millions of tons if adopted widely.*
The right window covering does more than block light. Design, fabric technology, special coatings, and smart home integration all work together to regulate room temperature, lower energy bills, and support a more sustainable way of living. Discover the benefits of our energy saving window coverings below.

Our honeycomb window coverings are engineered with a distinctive cellular structure that traps air in individual pockets, creating a natural layer of insulation at the window. The range includes black-out fabrics with a built-in aluminum layer that reinforces this effect. Independent research from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, backed by the U.S. Department of Energy, points in the same direction as our own testing: winter heat loss reduced by 46%, and summer heat absorption reduced by 78% — translating into potential annual energy savings of up to 12%, alongside a more stable indoor climate and noticeably improved acoustic comfort.

Motionblinds, our smart motorization technology, connects to thermostats, weather stations, and other smart home devices to automatically open and close shades at the moments that matter — no manual effort required. That last point matters more than it sounds: DOE-funded research has found that 75% of manually operated window coverings stay in the same position day after day, meaning most homes never actually capture the energy benefit their shades are designed to provide. Automation is what turns that potential into real, ongoing savings.

Our extensive fabric collection is engineered with energy savings in mind from the first design decision. Solar-reflective white backings deflect incoming heat before it enters the room, while heat-resistant pearl coatings and energy-saving aluminum and metalized silver backings add further protection against heat gain and loss. Specialized yarns and weave techniques complete the picture, each adding its own contribution to the fabric's overall thermal performance.
Together, these technologies work the way a well-designed building envelope should: reflecting summer heat away, retaining warmth in colder months, and reducing the everyday workload on heating and cooling systems — for a more stable, comfortable indoor climate year-round.
