Honeycomb Shades to Beat The Heat in Homes

Honeycomb Shades Made to Beat The Heat This Summer in Homes near Amarillo, Texas (TX)

Duette® Honeycomb Shades

Texas has never been known for mild summertime temperatures. In fact, one could argue that we have some of the worst. There is no utility that compares to the staggering AC bill of a Texan house in mid-August. It is as guaranteed as the sun rising in the morning, and yet it still stings every year. During these incredibly hot months, it is vital to find every possible way to keep yourself cool. We at Amazing Blinds and Shutters have discovered the solution to a roasting home and a high bill; cellular honeycomb shades. We have found the greatest honeycomb shades on the market, too: Duette® Honeycomb Shades by Hunter Douglas. But how do they even work? Where would they even go? Don't worry- we can explain.

How do they work?

50% of all energy in your home goes out right through your window. That is borderline insane. Cellular Honeycomb shades are a fascinating and eco-friendly way of insulating your home in order to prevent any kind of energy (or AC/heat, depending on the time of year) from leaving your home through your windows. They are engineered with honeycomb-style cells that trap air. These create a barrier with three layers; the exterior side of the shades, the air in the honeycomb pockets, and the interior side of the shades. These fill your window to the border to create the most coverage. Thus, this barrier saves you money and AC, which is the Texan’s ultimate dream. On top of their insulation, they are also able to block out 70% of outdoor sounds, which is just a huge added bonus for bedrooms, home offices, or anywhere else you would prefer a bit more peace and quiet, rather than chaos and noise.

Where can I put them?

The beautiful part about the Duette® Honeycomb Shades (outside of the abundant money-saving) is that they are fully customizable. We don’t mean they fit things to windows and sliding glass doors, but that they can be made to fit everywhere. Every. Single. Window. Have a super weird octagonal bathroom window that both makes you and your neighbors uncomfortable? We are crafting you that cellular shade first. Have a skylight in your bedroom that seems to suck all of the cool air out of the room, even when you can see the stars out? No problem- we are creating the perfect honeycomb shade for you. Cellular shades have you covered (literally and metaphorically) everywhere in your home. In addition to their size flexibility, they are also crafted from a massive variety of stunning fabrics that come in every color, texture, and style to fit your home's exact needs, so your options are endless.
