Energy Efficiency & Durability
Wood and faux wood blinds are more than just beautiful, they're smart investments in your home's energy efficiency. By tilting the slats, you can regulate the amount of sunlight entering your space, helping to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures year-round.
During Boston's cold November through March months, closed blinds create an insulating barrier that reduces heat loss through your windows, potentially lowering your heating bills. In summer, angled slats deflect intense afternoon sun while still allowing natural light to filter through, reducing your air conditioning costs.
Both wood and faux wood blinds offer UV protection that shields your carpets, hardwood floors, upholstery, and artwork from damaging ultraviolet rays that cause fading and deterioration. For maximum light blocking and privacy, consider routless blinds, which eliminate the visible cord holes in each slat, creating a more seamless appearance while preventing light leakage.
The durability of these blinds means they'll continue performing beautifully for many years. Faux wood blinds maintain their appearance and functionality even in challenging environments, while quality blinds develop a rich patina over time that adds character and charm to your home.
