Beat the Heat with Honeycomb Shades from ScotBlinds!
Sunny San Diego’s Summer Challenge
San Diego is renowned for its beautiful weather, but with great sunshine comes the challenge of managing summer heat indoors. At ScotBlinds, we often recommend honeycomb shades, also known as cellular shades, from Alta or Hunter Douglas to our customers seeking effective and stylish window treatments. These insulating shades are not just functional but also add an aesthetic touch to any home.
The Appeal of Honeycomb Shades
Honeycomb shades are designed with individual pockets that trap air, providing excellent insulation. Available in both single-cell shades and double-cell shades, they help minimize air conditioning bills by keeping homes cooler during the hot summer months.
- Single-Cell Shades: Ideal for moderate climates, providing a balance of insulation and light control.
- Double-Cell Shades: Offers superior insulation, perfect for extreme temperatures, providing better energy efficiency.
Professional Measurement and Installation
To achieve the best fit and functionality, it’s crucial to have professional measurements taken. At ScotBlinds, we understand that window openings can vary up to ¾” within the same opening. Our experts ensure a perfect fit, enhancing both the aesthetic and functional value of your cellular shades.
Cost Considerations
The cost of honeycomb shades varies widely due to the range of materials, textures, and colors available. A cord-loop honeycomb shade for a standard-sized window can range from $280 to $600, including tax, freight, and installation. This wide range allows customers to choose options that fit their budget and style preferences.
Federal Tax Credits
Certain fabrics and installations of honeycomb shades may qualify for Federal tax credits, providing an additional financial incentive for choosing these energy-efficient window treatments in San Diego. Call us at (619) 271-5601 to schedule your free in-home consultation.
