Insulating shades and drapes for energy savings

Did you know that specific window treatments can save money on your energy bills, every month? Treatments such as lined draperies, wood shutters and honeycomb shades can reduce your energy costs and provide beautiful decor for your home.

These treatments keep heat trapped in your home during the cold winter months, and keep unwanted sunlight and heat out during summer through insulation when it’s ideal to keep your home or office cool.

Faust Piano Showroom

Faust Harrison Pianos, a major piano retailer, recently moved to a new showroom in White Plains. Irving Faust, the owner, came to us with a dilema: his new showroom had 50 foot glass front. He wanted to showcase his beautiful pianos, but was very concerned that the heat and extreme sun would cause damage to such expensive one of a kind inventory. He also wanted to make sure that any shadings would not hide the pianos.

THE SOLUTION
Custom Sunscreen Shades with the Faust Logo silkscreened to our 5% open weave shades by Comfortex. The result, a dramatic eye catching 50 foot glass front that stops heat, glare and more traffic!

Our client, Tim Button of Stedila Design, a major New York City design firm, wanted continuous wrought iron rods wrapped around 3 sides of a Sunroom to install sheer draperies in this beautiful Long Island Residence.
