Shadings: New Window
Treatment Has Advantages
Drapes, curtains, and window shades have been around for a long
time. Now there's something new and attractive in the field of window
treatments: shadings.
They aren't curtains or shades but a combination of the two. Shadings
are sheer fabric vanes encased in translucent fabric panels. The vanes
rotate to give you various degrees of light control and privacy without
shutting out the light.
Another advantage of shadings comes in the form of energy efficiency.
They save heating and cooling costs because they fit snugly against the
window. The multilayered, honeycomb shades have the highest R-value of
any window covering.
One more attractive feature is their efficiency in noise control. The
honeycombs reduce noise coming from the outside, whether from noisy
neighbors or traffic. |
