Energy Efficient Shades FAQ’s
Yes, honeycomb shades (also known as cellular shades) are highly energy efficient. Their unique design features cells that trap air, creating a layer of insulation that helps maintain a consistent room temperature. This reduces the need for heating and cooling, leading to energy savings. Honeycomb shades are available in various cell sizes and can be single, double, or triple-celled, with greater insulation properties as you increase the number of layers.
Roller shades can be energy efficient, depending on the material used. While traditional roller shades might offer basic coverage and light control, those made with thermal or blackout fabrics provide better insulation and energy efficiency. However, they generally do not perform as well as cellular shades in terms of insulation because they lack the air-trapping cells that provide a barrier against heat and cold.
Roman shades can be moderately energy efficient if they are made with insulating fabrics and are well fitted to the window to minimize air leaks around the edges. For enhanced energy efficiency, roman shades can be combined with a thermal lining, which adds an extra layer of insulation. Like roller shades, they don't inherently provide as much insulation as cellular shades but can be effective if constructed with the right materials.
Blackout cellular shades tend to be more energy efficient compared to their lighter counterparts. The blackout material not only blocks light but also improves the shade's ability to insulate a room. The layers that make a shade blackout also add thickness and density, which enhances its thermal properties by better trapping air and reducing heat transfer. This makes blackout cellular shades an excellent choice for maximizing energy efficiency and controlling indoor temperatures
Many energy-efficient shades also block harmful UV rays, protecting your furniture, floors, and artworks from sun damage.
Yes, by providing additional insulation, these shades help maintain your home’s temperature, which can reduce the need for heating in the winter and air conditioning in the summer, leading to lower energy costs.
Absolutely, these shades come in various styles, colors, and materials to match any décor.
Google Reviews
Posted on Jeffrey LogueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This company is wonderful. We were impressed for the moment we contacted them for a free quote. They showed up on time, professional, and prepared. We wanted plantation shutters and needed them to look at some electric blinds that were purchased from a different company. During quote they Walked us through every step, every choice, and there was no pressure. They even helped direct us by not purchasing shutters for our daughter’s room because she never opens the curtains- so honest! They could have made more money but didn’t. We also ended up purchasing electric blinds And are incredibly happy with them. They look beautiful and are easy to use. When they installed it was easy and fast. They sent a team of 4 and they were all nice men. One of the owners showed up towards the end to make sure things were going well! They noticed one of the trims was warped so they put in for a replacement before I even asked. We are so happy with the product and service. We got the membership and are excited to use this company again. Please don’t hesitate- great company.Posted on D BryantTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The entire process was great, from picking out the blinds to installation. The salesman came to our home and showed us all of the options available to us.

AIM has been an excellent experience from start to finish! Ben helped us get all the initial measurements and decide on blinds, and was super patient with us. Nate was easy to schedule the install with and talked us through all the necessary info, and Kyle and Dakota were absolute rockstars with an efficient install and walked us through the programming and usage of our motorized blinds. There was one minor issue with a single blind that the team proactively identified and they're already working on a replacement.
