How Energy Efficient Window Treatments Work

Energy efficient shades and blinds help create a barrier between your windows and your interior living space. Depending on the product, this can happen in several ways:

  • Blocking direct sunlight before it heats interior surfaces

  • Trapping air to create insulation at the window

  • Reducing drafts near glass during winter

  • Filtering harsh glare while preserving natural light

Some of the most effective insulating window treatments use cellular construction, layered fabrics, or tightly fitted materials to help maintain indoor comfort year-round.

Best Energy Efficient Window Treatments

Cellular Shades

Cellular shades, also known as honeycomb shades, are among the most energy efficient window coverings available. Their layered cellular construction traps air inside the pleats, creating insulation that helps reduce heat transfer at the window. Collections like Duette® Honeycomb Shades and Applause® Honeycomb Shades are especially popular in Toronto homes because they help improve comfort during both hot summers and cold winters.

Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades combine the sleek appearance of roller shades with insulating cellular construction. They offer a clean, modern look while helping reduce heat gain and drafts. These shades work especially well in contemporary homes and condos where homeowners want energy performance without bulky window coverings.

Roman Shades

Roman shades can also contribute to energy efficiency by layering fabric at the window. Depending on the fabric selection and liner, roman shades can help soften light, reduce heat transfer, and improve comfort throughout the year. Collections like Duette® Honeycomb Shades and Applause® Honeycomb Shades are especially popular in Toronto homes because they help improve comfort during both hot summers and cold winters.

Layering drapery with shades often provides the best combination of insulation, privacy, and light control. These shades work especially well in contemporary homes and condos where homeowners want energy performance without bulky window coverings.

Motorization Improves Energy Efficiency

Window treatments work best when adjusted throughout the day. With PowerView® Automation, shades can automatically open and close based on sunlight, time of day, or your schedule. This allows homeowners to reduce heat gain during the hottest hours of the day and improve insulation during colder evenings — without constant manual adjustment.

Solutions for Skylights and Hard-to-Reach Windows

Skylights and tall windows can contribute to overheating and glare when left uncovered. We offer specialized skylight window treatment solutions designed to help regulate light and temperature while preserving natural brightness. Motorized operation is especially helpful for hard-to-reach windows and large expanses of glass.These shades work especially well in contemporary homes and condos where homeowners want energy performance without bulky window coverings.

Energy Efficient Window Treatments FAQ​

Do energy efficient window coverings really save money on hydro bills?

Yes, they can help reduce heating and cooling usage over time. In summer, insulating shades block heat and direct sunlight from entering the home. During winter, they help reduce drafts and heat loss near windows. This allows your HVAC system to maintain comfort more efficiently.

Do energy efficient window treatments work for large windows and sliding doors?

Absolutely. Large expanses of glass can significantly impact indoor temperatures, especially in Toronto homes with oversized windows or patio doors.

Vertical cellular shades are an excellent option for tall windows and sliding doors because they insulate while still allowing easy access to the outdoors.

Custom drapery can also help reduce heat transfer when properly fitted and lined.

For additional ideas, explore our large window solutions and glass door window treatment solutions.

Can energy efficient shades still allow natural light into the room?

Yes. Energy efficient window treatments do not need to be blackout shades to perform well. Many insulating shades are available in light-filtering fabrics that soften sunlight while still allowing natural light into the room.

For example, Duette® Honeycomb Shades with ClearView® fabric provide a more open view while maintaining the insulating benefits of cellular construction.

Are blackout shades considered energy efficient?

Blackout shades can help reduce solar heat gain by blocking direct sunlight from entering the room. This is especially useful for west-facing rooms and spaces exposed to intense afternoon sun.

However, not all blackout shades provide insulation. Cellular blackout shades and layered fabric shades tend to offer better thermal performance than single-layer roller shades alone.
