affordable options for replacing very old windows

If you want to add blinds to your windows you have many options. One option is cellular shades. Below is information on what this is, as well as three benefits of choosing this. 

Cellular Shades

Cellular shades are also known as cell shades or honeycomb shades. There are many things to consider when buying these shades. Choose double or triple cell shades as these provide you with the most insulation and these will also trap air inside the shades.

You can find cellular shades in a variety of sizes so you should have no problem finding them to fit your windows. They come in a variety of colors so you can find colors that match the décor of your home. Some companies may custom make your shades for you if you need a certain size. 

Cellular Shades Benefits

There are many benefits of installing cellular shades on your windows. One is they can save you a great deal of money. Heat and cold air do not escape out of your home so your HVAC unit will not have to run as long to maintain the temperature. This helps keep your energy costs down. Because your HVAC unit runs less, it will last longer for you. 

If you have a lot of noise in your area, cellular shades can help reduce the amount of noise that gets inside your home. This can be especially useful if you have small children or a baby that naps during the day. You may also hear noises at night that keep you awake. 

Some cellular shades diffuse how much light gets through the shades. This means you can have a room full of sunshine or a room that is much dimmer. If you want to completely darken a room, choose a blackout cellular shade. 

There are cellular shades that feature a cordless lift. This means you won't have to worry about a lot of cords hanging on the shade but instead open and close them with the push of your finger. Some shades can be lowed and raised using a remote control. 

If you choose the cordless option, you will not have to worry about a child getting wrapped up in the cords. This can be dangerous as the cord could get wrapped around their neck. 

Talk with a salesperson that sells cellular shades to learn much more about them and of many more benefits this offers you.
