Hunter Douglas is the worldwide leader in creating innovative, energy-efficient window fashions that save valuable energy resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As our products serve this larger purpose, they also make home interiors brighter, more beautiful, more private and more comfortable.
Significant energy efficiency improvements at the window began with our invention of Duette® honeycomb shades back in 1985. Air contained within the honeycomb cells proved to be an effective insulator, keeping heat inside in winter and keeping it out in summer.
The huge success of the Duette brand has spawned other energy-saving innovations — including Silhouette® window shadings, Vignette® Modern Roman Shades,Luminette® Privacy Sheers and Pirouette® window shadings. Our most recent creation, Duette Architella® honeycomb shades, takes energy conservation to a whole new level. The patented honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb design forms three air pockets to dramatically reduce heat flow at the window. If installed in every window of every American home, these shades have the potential to cut our annual energy consumption by 2½%. That may not sound like much, but it’s the equivalent of a 33% increase in fuel mileage for all passenger cars on U.S. roads — which would save about 450 million barrels of oil annually and reduce CO2 emissions by almost 200 million tons!

Hello, Susan! I'm sincerely impressed with how these windows and doors help in more ways than one. Energy-efficient fixture not only help cut down electric bill, but also save homeowners more money in the long run. I'm currently looking for companies like this Toronto windows maker which offer a range of windows with decent energy ratings. I sure would like to invest in these energy-saving windows very soon.
ReplyDeleteI agree that energy saving technology for windows started a good trend in the house building industry. After Duette, companies have innovated to include insulator-like features in their windows. In San Francisco, window replacements are taking on a more greener approach since most of the products now attempts to reduce the total energy incurred in a household. Such types of replacement windows (San Francisco) will definitely benefit the user for a long time.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, very innovative window designs. Thanks for sharing!
