The Most Energy-efficient Window Treatments
Make your windows more energy efficient by adding the right window treatments.
The right insulating window shades can drastically reduce the amount of heat escaping from your home in winter and entering during the summer so you reduce energy use and stay comfortable all year long. Hunter Douglas manufactures several very effective insulating shade options.
Windows allow around 30% of a home’s heat to escape in cool seasons, and around 76% of sunlight enters double-paned windows to become heat inside.* Window coverings can help to decrease these losses, but some kinds of treatments are considerably more effective than others. At Innovative Openings our roots are in energy-efficiency, and we’re proud to offer products with excellent performance. This includes our own award-winning major brand of solar roller shades- Insolroll®.

Motorization for highest efficiency level
Looking to maximize energy-efficiency? Hunter Douglas’ PowerView® Automation allows you to raise and lower shades with a simple push of a button, tap on a mobile phone, or voice control using a smart-home device. This adds both convenience and practicality, for instance making hard-to-reach window shades easily adjustable.
Automatically raise shades during the day to provide added temperature comfort, lower on winter nights. Connect this scheduling to calendar and geographic area to maximize energy savings.

Insolroll Solar Screen Shades are designed to block the sun’s heat, glare, and UV rays. Each fabric has specific, scientifically measured sun reflectivity, absorption, and transmission. Precise weave openness, color, and coatings determine the effectiveness of a fabric at blocking heat that enters through the glass. A fabric’s Solar Heat Gain Coefficient indicates how much a solar screen shade can reduce the heat gain in a room, and therefore both the cooling load and comfortability in the space. Lower cooling load means lower utility bills. In colder months, Solar Screen Shades are completely retractable, allowing passive solar warming.
This heat-blocking is even more apparent in homes with large windows, where heat-gain can make rooms extremely uncomfortable.
Additionally, because they allow light to pass through, solar shades decrease the need for artificial lighting, a phenomenon known as daylighting. This solar screen quality also provides glare control for visual comfort and allows view-through for a connection to the outside and increased well-being for occupants.
Insolroll Shades are manufactured in Louisville, Colorado by family-owned Innovative Openings. Insolroll is an award-winning, nationally recognized roller shade brand and manufactures both interior and patio shades.
