Cellular Shades Keep You and Your House Cool This Summer

June, 2009 -- Looking to keep your cool this summer but keep energy costs down? Energy efficient cellular shades from Blinds To Go help achieve both goals. Cellular shades insulate against heat gain through the window during summer, in the same way they guard against heat loss during winter.

"Our customers love cellular shades for their energy efficiency all year long," says Heidi Cox, merchandising manager at Blinds To Go. "They are an effective weapon in the battle against rising energy costs because they provide valuable insulation at the window. People also appreciate the soft filtered light, the privacy and the simple styling."

Blinds To Go's Cellular Shades

Blinds To Go offers cellular shades with a unique D-cell fabric construction, in which the air pockets are shaped like the letter "D." The distinctive shape helps retain pleats better, preserving the crisp, modern look, according to Cox. This latest collection of cellular shades also blocks up to 99.9 percent of UV transmissions, providing a 'sunscreen' for furniture against the harmful rays of the sun.

Local utility companies urge customers to keep shades down on summer days. And, why not, when they look this good? There are numerous patterns and colors directly matched to the best-selling Benjamin Moore trim colors, making decorating easy. There are also fashion colors that will make the shades a focal point of the decor.

Blinds To Go manufactures to customer specifications at its own facility, guaranteeing quality and quick delivery. Shades are ready for pick-up at most of the company's 107 stores in the US and Canada within 48 hours. Online orders (www.blindstogo.com) are shipped to the customer within 48 hours. Now, that's cool!
