If you live in the Fort Myers area, you already know how harmful the sun can be. It’s important to protect the interior of our homes. Better yet, we can improve comfort and find energy savings by dressing our homes with helpful window treatments. Let’s learn more about energy saving shades with these before and after results.

This is What Energy Savings Can Look Like…

The picture below features a scientific view of how energy saving shades can improve the efficiency of our homes. By using modern technology, we are able to get a better idea of how well-insulated our homes are. The greens, blues and purples tell us areas are well-insulated. However, red, orange and yellow all identify areas that energy flows freely, exposing your home to the elements. The red areas–the ones most affected by energy loss–are not surprising. It’s the windows that cause the problems!
