Insulated roman shades merge fashion with function

In the average home at least 10 percent of the exterior walls are windows. The winter heat loss through a window can account for 10 to 30 percent of your total heating bill. Insulated roman shades can further reduce window heat loss and dramatically increase the comfort of your home year round.

To be effective Insulated roman shades should include three features. The first being that they should have a method for reducing heat loss. An average window will lose almost 10 times as much energy as the same area of wall or ceiling.  Second there should be a tight seal at each edge to prevent room air from circulating behind the shade  and contacting the window surface. Third a vapor barrier such as plastic ,vinyl, mylar,etc., on the warm side to prevent moisture in the room’s air from passing through the window treatment and condensing on the cold window.

The insulating ability of these shades also reduces noise pollution from outside sources. Insulated roman shades merge fashion and function while considering your needs for comfort, style and energy savings.
