Similar to the look of cellulars, pleated shades are also a good choice if you’re looking to save on energy costs. They’re made from a single layer of fabric filled with tiny, insulating cells and folded into crisp pleats. Solar shades and blackout window treatments are effective, energy-efficient options, too. They help block the sun’s heat and harmful UV rays, and protect your furniture from fading.

In fact, our #1 category is also one of the most energy-efficient window coverings you can buy. Hanging a cell, or honeycomb, shade on your window adds instant insulation. Cell shades are made of two or more layers of fabric woven together in a diamond-shape cell, much like a honeycomb. The layers have a pocket of air between them that helps trap heat and cold, so your rooms stay stylish and comfortable while saving you money year-round. Go for a custom cell shade with double-cell construction for the most energy efficiency.

Did you know that window coverings are a great way to save money? Yep. HouseLogic found that a home with an average of 15 energy-efficient shades saves $150 in energy costs per year.
