Can window treatments be green? Of course, in more ways than one! There are three “green” characteristics that contribute to eco friendly window treatments. First is to improve the energy efficiency of your home by reducing heat loss. Second is a window treatment’s “R-Value” which lets you know how effective the window treatment material is at preventing heat loss. Lastly, eco-friendly window treatments are manufactured without releasing greenhouse gasses, generating waste, or using non-renewable toxic materials. Visit our showroom, serving the Vero Beach and West Palm Beach areas, to view full size displays of the most energy efficient window coverings on the market. [Read more…]

Come summer, though, the heat and humidity can be stifling, with air conditioning units working overtime to keep up. Now’s the time to think about how your window treatments impact your air conditioning costs. At Treasure Coast Window Fashions serving West Palm Beach, we’re offering unbeatable rebates on our most popular energy efficient window treatment styles. It’s our Hunter Douglas Energy Smart Style Promotion!
Here in the Palm Beach area, energy efficiency is on everyone’s minds. Even if you have good windows, a lot of your inside air can be lost through them. When opened and closed at the appropriate times, window treatments can help minimize that effect and maximize energy efficiency. With Hunter Douglas solar sensors from Treasure Coast Window Fashions, your window treatments can do the work for you when you’re not even home.
Paired with a window treatment automation system, the solar sensor controls your window treatments based on the heat and sun outside. During the hottest part of the day, the battery-powered sensor detects the amount of solar energy entering the home through the window and sends out a wireless signal that automatically opens or closes window treatment to maximize energy efficiency in the room.
