Window Treatements
We all know that our windows look better with window treatments, but did you ever think about the possibility to using them to help heat or cool your home?
If you have newer windows with great thermal properties then this really dosen’t help all that much, but for the rest of you – read on!
Looking to stay cool – us a window treatment that is a light color (white is great) or reflective. This will help to reflect the sunlight – and the heat – back out the window. Remember the side note about though, if you have a nice double pane window then this isn’t going to be the greatest help!
If you’re looking for some extra heat you can simply leave the window uncovered! I’m sure you’ve alreay noticed that you’ll get warm sitting in the sunlight.
