Energy-Efficient Window Treatments in Columbus, OH
Ohio windows lose heat all winter and let it pour in all summer. The right window treatment is one of the simplest ways to make rooms more comfortable year-round.
We look at which windows are costing you comfort, from drafty older glass to hot west-facing walls, and match the treatment to the problem. The owner measures every window and installs every order.
Options
What actually helps
Cellular shades
Honeycomb cells trap air at the glass. Double cell adds another layer. See cellular shades.
Exterior solar shades
Stop heat before it reaches the glass, which works best on hot west and south exposures. See exterior shades.
Plantation shutters
A solid, fitted panel in the window frame. See plantation shutters.
Scheduled motorization
Motorized shades that close before the afternoon sun hits, even when you’re not home.

Common questions
Energy efficiency questions we get asked
What is the most energy-efficient window treatment?
For insulation, cellular shades are the go-to because their cells trap air at the window, and double cell shades add more. For summer heat, exterior solar shades are most effective because they block the sun before it reaches the glass.
Do window treatments help in winter or summer?
Both. Insulating shades and shutters slow heat loss through the glass in winter, and solar, exterior, and scheduled shades cut heat gain in summer.
Which windows should I start with?
Usually large west- and south-facing windows for summer heat, and older or single-pane windows for winter drafts. We’ll point out the biggest opportunities during the consultation.
How much do energy-efficient window treatments cost?
Price depends on the product, window sizes, and options like double cell fabric or motorization. You get a written, firm quote after a free in-home consultation.
