Energy Efficiency

Windows and doors can easily help or hinder your efforts at getting comfortable in your home or office. Air-flow and sunlight are the two biggest elements that furnishings can assist in controlling.

In the summer, air-flow can help reduce temperatures, while sunlight can increase them. Obviously in winter, the opposite is the case. Additionally, in winter, the right furnishing can also help retain room heat from escaping.

For windows on the east and western side of your home or office, serious consideration should be given to choosing a furnishing that will block solar heat, while still allowing for air-flow.

During winter, southern windows will need a covering that can help trap the heat in a room as the sun crosses the sky.
