Boost Energy Efficiency with Custom Window Shades

Shades

Windows play a significant role in your home’s energy efficiency. They can let in heat during summer and allow warmth to escape during winter, leading to higher energy bills. The good news? The right custom window shades can help regulate indoor temperatures, reduce energy consumption, and enhance comfort—all while adding style to your home.

At Made in the Shade Jackson Hole, we offer energy-efficient window shades that are both functional and beautiful. Whether you need cellular shades, solar shades, or layered sheer shades, we have solutions tailored to your space. Plus, with our free in-home consultation, we bring the showroom to you!

How Window Shades Improve Energy Efficiency

Window shades work by controlling how much sunlight and heat enter your home. The right materials and designs can:

  • Reduce heat gain in summer – Block excessive sunlight to keep interiors cool.
  • Retain warmth in winter – Trap heat inside, reducing reliance on heating systems.
  • Enhance insulation – Some shades create a barrier that minimizes drafts.
  • Protect interiors – Prevent UV damage to furniture and flooring.

By choosing the right custom energy-saving shades, you can lower energy costs year-round. Let’s explore the best options for maximizing efficiency!

Best Window Shades for Energy Efficiency

Cellular Shades – The Ultimate Insulator

Cellular shades are one of the best window coverings for energy efficiency. Their honeycomb-shaped pockets trap air, creating insulation that prevents heat transfer.

  • ⭐ Available in single, double, or triple-cell designs for varying insulation levels.
  • Light-filtering or blackout fabrics for added temperature control.
  • Cordless and motorized options for convenience and child safety.

These shades are ideal for Jackson Hole’s climate, helping to keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer.

Solar Shades – Block the Heat, Not the View

Solar shades are perfect for reducing glare and heat while maintaining a view. They are made from light-filtering fabrics that block harmful UV rays, reducing heat gain indoors.

  • ⭐ Available in different opacity levels (1%-10%) for customized light control.
  • ⭐ Reduce indoor temperatures while preserving natural light.
  • ⭐ Protect furniture, flooring, and artwork from fading.

If you have large insulated window treatments with direct sunlight exposure, solar shades are a smart choice!

Roller Shades with Thermal Fabrics

Roller shades come in a wide range of materials, including thermal and blackout fabrics that enhance insulation. They provide a sleek, modern look while improving temperature control.

  • Blackout or thermal linings prevent heat loss in winter.
  • Layer with drapes for extra insulation.
  • Motorized options allow scheduling for optimal energy savings.

Dual and Zebra Shades – Light Control Meets Insulation

Zebra shades and dual shades combine sheer and solid fabrics, allowing for versatile light and privacy control. While not as insulating as cellular shades, they still help manage indoor temperatures by diffusing sunlight.

Cellular Dual Shades

  • Adjustable light control with alternating sheer and opaque stripes.
  • ⭐ Some fabrics offer UV protection to reduce heat gain.
  • ⭐ Can be paired with thermal curtains for better insulation.

Natural Woven Shades – Eco-Friendly and Efficient

Natural woven shades are crafted from bamboo, reeds, and grasses, offering an organic look while improving energy efficiency. Many designs can be lined for extra insulation.

  • Natural fibers help regulate temperature.
  • ⭐ Optional thermal or blackout liners improve insulation.
  • ⭐ Sustainable materials make them an eco-conscious choice.

Maximizing Energy Efficiency with Smart Features

Motorized Shades for Energy Savings

Upgrading to motorized window treatments can further enhance energy efficiency. These shades integrate with smart home systems, allowing you to:

  • Automate schedules – Close shades during the hottest part of the day.
  • Sync with smart thermostats – Adjust shades based on temperature.
  • Use voice or app controls – Hands-free operation for convenience.

Motorized shades reduce wasted energy by ensuring your home is shaded or insulated when needed.

Layering Window Treatments for Extra Insulation

Pairing shades with draperies or valances adds another layer of insulation. Consider:

  • Cellular shades + blackout drapes for maximum warmth retention.
  • Solar shades + sheer curtains for heat control and softness.
  • ✔ Woven shades + lined panels for a stylish, insulated look.

This layering approach enhances both style and energy efficiency.
