Keep The Heat High & Electricity Bill Low With Finishing Touches

Keep the winter chill outside of your home by covering the windows with energy-efficient window treatments. With Finishing Touches you can keep the heat high and your electrical bills down to a minimum!

Curtains are a great way of keeping the heat inside, while leaving your windows looking elegant and stylish. Stick to thick, heavyweight, tightly-woven textiles to provide a dense barrier against the cold outdoor air. Velvet, denim, suede and tapestry are great examples of thick, insulating fabrics. Hanging curtains in layers, is an energy-efficient way of keeping the heat in, while still leaving your windows looking stylish. By hanging your curtains wider than the window frame and having them cascade to the floor will seal up small spaces around the edges where cold air could escape through into your home.

Honeycomb blinds, also known as Cellular Shades are the best and most energy efficient window coverings you can buy. They use a series of cell pockets to trap air around your windows, keeping your rooms warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The cells use a unique design shape similar to a honeycomb. Also, the more layers of honeycomb material you have, the more insulation the shades will provide.

Roman blinds can make an inexpensive insulating covering for windows. They are simply cloth window coverings consisting of several sandwiched layers of fabric that cover your windows when extended and can be pulled up and out of the way using a system of string and loops.

Whatever your window treatment preference, Finishing Touches will help you save on energy consumption by supplying the best quality made-to-measure blinds and curtains.
