5 Trends for Eco-Friendly Window Treatments in 2023
If you’re a homeowner who’s also an Earth lover, your home likely reflects your eco-friendly perspective. When it comes to your window treatments there are many ways that green practices and trends can be brought to life within your home thanks to modern advancements in design, materials, and operation.
From cellular shades that reduce your home's carbon footprint to wood shutters that support non-profits focused on preserving the natural world, finding eco-friendly window treatments in the Hunter Douglas collection is simple with Abbey Carpet of Maui.
Prioritizing a Lower Carbon Footprint
A home’s carbon footprint measures the amount of greenhouse gases a residence puts out from consuming fossil fuels. In many homes, those fossil fuels are processed to produce interior heating or cooling. Eco-friendly window treatments like cellular shades help to lower a home’s carbon footprint by elevating its energy efficiency.
Cellular shades are excellent insulators and can help to reduce unwanted energy loss through windows, which can contribute to up to 30% of a home’s energy waste. Less energy lost through windows reduces theneed for additional heating or cooling to maintain a consistent and comfortable interior temperature,makinginsulating honeycomb shades like Duette® Cellular Shades a popular choice for energy efficiency in multipleclimates.
Using Upcycled Materials
Reducing waste is a key feature of eco-friendly window treatments; for example, the ways cellular shades reduce energy waste. In this same fashion, window treatments that use recycled or upcycled materials in their construction can reduce physical waste by reusing existing materials. The GreenScreen Sea-Tex™ Fabric collection for Hunter Douglas Designer Solar Shades is woven from reclaimed coastal plastics which reduceswaste by giving maritime refuse new life as stylish, roller shades.
Conscientious Farming Practices
For eco-friendly window treatments, it’s also important to consider where the materials for those shades are coming from and how those materials are being farmed or manufactured. Bamboo shades, like those in the Provenance® Woven Wood Shades collection, from Hunter Douglas, come from natural wood, reeds, grasses, and bamboo.
Combining Convenience with Elevate Performance
Another key factor in creating energy-efficient, eco-friendly window treatments includes operating upgrades that optimize the window treatment’s daily performance. PowerView® Automation motorizes window shades making control more convenient for homeowners. PowerView® also offers automated scheduling that puts eco-friendly window treatments on a routine optimized for solar responsiveness and energy efficiency based on the location of your home and your household’s daily habits.
Giving Back to the Environment
Showing support forenvironmentally conscientious practices of companies through financial purchases is another way for homeowners to promote their eco-friendly mindset. For every purchase of Heritance® Wood Shutters or Parkland® Wood Blinds, Hunter Douglas makes a donation to the Arbor Day® Foundation to support their mission of motivating people from around the world to plant, protect, and celebrate trees.
