Winter in the Black Hills region can be brutal, and according to the Farmer’s Almanac, this upcoming one promises to be especially cold. As a homeowner, you know what that means: an enormous monthly energy bill. One of the most efficient ways to protect your home from the cold is to invest in insulated window shades. Today, at The Blind Guy, we discuss the benefits of insulated shades and introduce our selection of cellular shades.

• Cost Savings: Most of your home’s heat is lost through the windows. Cellular shades provide an insulating layer of protection, allowing you to enjoy a lower monthly energy bill. This perk comes in handy, especially around the holidays when the savings can be earmarked for gifts and entertaining.
• Noise Reduction: If you live on a busy street or in a noisy neighborhood, insulated shades can help reduce noise intake. This benefit is more than helpful if you have a small infant or work remotely.
• Privacy: Your home is your sanctuary to escape from the busy world. Insulated shades provide the privacy you need to unwind after a long day of work or family responsibilities.
• Superior Comfort: Insulated shades regulate your interior climate, allowing you, your guests, and loved ones to feel cozy and warm during the long winter.
• Elevated Aesthetic: Along with all the functional benefits of insulated shades comes the aesthetic value. We offer our insulated shade in various styles and colors that will complement a range of interior design motifs.

Styles for the cells in honeycomb shades vary from brand to brand and include single and double cell styles, cells of varying sizes, and unique techniques for intertwining multiple cells in a single construction. We are proud to offer cellular shades from three different manufacturers: Hunter Douglas, Alta®, and Graber®.

Not only do cellular shades offer unparalleled energy efficiency, but they also advance the aesthetics of your home. Their sculpted fabric front will transform your windows into masterpieces with exquisite sophistication.
