Why Winter Weather Demands Better Window Protection
Even well-sealed windows struggle during Colorado’s snowy, wind-prone winters. The U.S. Department of Energy notes that nearly 30% of a home’s heating energy escapes through windows, making them one of the biggest contributors to winter heat loss.
The right energy-smart window treatments help block out cold air, stabilize indoor temperatures, and reduce the strain on your heating system. The result? A cozier home and lower heating costs throughout the season.
Top Window Coverings to Boost Efficiency and Style
Below are our recommended window treatment options that provide insulation while adding visual charm to your Broomfield home.
1. Honeycomb (Cellular) Shades
Superior Insulation in a Sleek Design
Honeycomb shades are the gold standard for energy efficiency. Their unique air-pocket construction creates a built-in buffer between your window and the room.
How They Help:
Choices in single, double, and triple-cell designs
Light-filtering and blackout options
Cordless and motorized lifts
Dozens of colors, textures, and fabric styles
Perfect for bedrooms, living rooms, offices, and more.
2. Roman Shades
Soft Texture Meets Practical Heat Control
Roman shades deliver rich fabrics and beautiful folds while providing natural insulation. Add a thermal lining for even stronger protection against winter drafts.
How They Help:
Thick materials reduce heat loss
Custom linings enhance warmth and privacy
Combine with drapery for increased insulation
3. Custom Drapery & Panels
Decorative Elegance with Real Insulating Power
Properly fitted draperies do more than complete a room—they help lock in warm air and block out cold drafts. Full-length panels and layered treatments offer impressive thermal benefits.
Pro Tip: For maximum performance, layer your drapes over cellular or roller shades.
Classic Looks + Strong Thermal Barriers
Wood or composite shutters sit snugly inside your window frame, creating a sturdy barrier against the cold. They offer durability, timeless charm, and year-round temperature control.
How They Help:
Minimize heat loss
Built to last
Easy to clean and maintain
Great for both modern and traditional Colorado homes.
5. Thermal-Enhanced Roller Shades
Minimalist Style With Practical Comfort
Roller shades may be simple, but with the right thermal or blackout fabric, they contribute greatly to winter insulation. They pair beautifully with side panels or drapery for layered protection.
How They Help:
Streamlined design fits contemporary interiors
Combine with other treatments for improved warmth
Ideal for bedrooms, dens, and media rooms
Smart Controls for Automatic Comfort
Want effortless climate control? Many insulating shades can be upgraded with motorization and integrated into your smart-home system. Imagine shades that lower at sunset or close automatically during cold spells—improving efficiency without lifting a finger.
