3 Reasons to Invest in Blackout Shades
The biggest misconception about blackout shades is that they're only for bedrooms. Interestingly, blackout shades are ideal for any room where you might sleep, watch TV, work on a computer, or any other room you're concerned about energy loss. Whatever your reasons for needing blackout shades, The Blind Shop is here to help. Blackout shades are an excellent investment for any home for their many benefits, including better sleep, increased privacy, and energy savings.
Sleep
The first benefit of blackout shades is that they help you sleep. They keep sunlight out of your bedroom and streetlights from filtering through the window. Blackout shades can help you get a full night’s rest, which helps improve your health and well-being.
If you have young children and pets, blackout shades will help them to stay asleep longer without the lights and noises from outside filtering into your home. If the kids and pets aren't disturbed, neither will you be!
Privacy
You might think that the window shades in your home provide adequate privacy, but they're less effective than blackout shades. With regular window shades, passersby can easily see inside your home. Blackout shades can be a preventative for anyone looking for an opportunity to break into your house. No one will be able to peek through at all.
Energy-Efficiency
Your savings start with just one shade! The average household spends $100-$200 monthly on electricity alone. With energy-efficient window treatments, like blackout shades, you can save money on your energy bills by keeping the heat out in summer and keeping it in during winter. Reducing the amount of sun coming through windows, you will find less need to run an air conditioner or fan, saving you money on cooling costs. The opposite is also true; If heat stays inside your home during the colder months, your HVAC won’t work as hard; thus, you’ll save on heating costs. In addition to energy savings, blackout shades help protect against UV rays and other damaging effects of light exposure, such as fading furniture fabrics or artwork.
