The loss of energy through windows can account for up to 20% of a home’s total heating and cooling costs, according to the US Department of Energy. Cellular shades, with their cell structure, help insulate windows by trapping pockets of air within, according to the company.
The company claims that its Energy Shield technology, an additional layer of insulation hidden inside of the cellular structure, gives Accordia extra insulation and eliminates air flow while providing filtered light making it possible to reduce heating and cooling costs so the shades essentially pay for themselves over time.
Kristie Juster, president of Decor global business unit at Newell Rubbermaid, said: “We are using consumer insights to bring about meaningful innovations to help our consumers make their homes more livable while saving money on rising energy costs.
”Accordia offers a remarkable combination of smart design features and trend-forward styles so consumers don’t have to compromise on function or fashion.”
