Levolor Cellular Blinds:Perfect Effiency
Levolor Cellular Blinds People who want to reduce their energy bills are turning to Cellular Blinds to help them do that. People who have installed Levelor Cellular Blinds swear by them for that reason. They help keep warm air “in” during winter months, and cool air “in” during summer months. Levolor Cellular Blinds add insulation and increase the R-value of a window. The R-value of a window is the term used for a window’s resistance to airflow. The higher a window’s R-value the the more effective it is in maintaining heat and coolness in a window unit including the frame. Levolor cellular blinds or shades as they are called come in single double cell shades and triple cells styles range in six pleat sizes. Pleats sizes range from ¼ inch, ½ inch, 3/4inch, 9/16 inch 3/8 inch and 1inch pleats. The pleats are folds that create a honeycomb effect. The more cells, the better the insulation and also the ability to block glare. The cells are shaped into honeycomb patterns. The honeycombs are what trap the air pockets within the shade thus increasing the R-value of the window. When thinking of what size cell to buy for your window, the bigger the window the bigger the cell should be to accommodate it. Larger cells have more static air and are a better barrier against heat and cold making it more energy efficient. They can also be insulated to even add more energy efficiency. Levolor Cellular Blinds also block out 99% light. Because there are no holes you get a soft glow on a sunny bright day but no glare. You can get light control levels from opaque to complete block out. They have a cordless lift system, which mean no hanging cords to strangle your kids or pets. Optional upgrades include top down/bottom up continuous cord loop, motorized, vertical and skylight shades. When you raise them they stack higher than hard window treatments giving you an unobstructed view. In fact they can raise right up under a valance if you use one with no problem. Levolor cellular blinds come in numerous patterns and colors. You can get them to compliment drapes. Before Levolor cellular blinds people used insulated drapes, for energy efficiency and light control. You can get matching insulated drapes if you choose or fabric to match the cellular fabric used to complete your window treatment. You can clean your Levolor cellular blinds with luke warm water and a sponge. |
