Heat Rises! Cellular Shades for Two-Story Homes

As temperatures climb, those top-floor rooms can start to feel uncomfortably warm. Heat naturally rises, but the right window treatments can make a big difference. 

Cellular shades feature an energy-efficient honeycomb design that helps insulate your home—keeping your upstairs spaces cooler and more comfortable all season long.

Why Do Upstairs Bedrooms Overheat? 

Rooms in the second floor of a home overheat during warmer months because heat naturally rises. This means that the more floors you have, the hotter they will be. Furthermore, homes that have less airflow in upper floors only make this issue worse and more uncomfortable. 

Add in natural sunlight pouring in through upstairs windows, and things get even hotter — this is where cellular shade window treatments come in. 

How Cellular Shades Offer Heat Reduction 

Offering a high percentage of heat reduction, cellular shades are a must for homes that get stuffy, hot rooms when temperatures rise. 

The unique honeycomb design of cellular shades mitigate the effects of hot air and light from outside. As a result, upstairs rooms that are hotter due to rising heat in the summer become significantly cooler. Additionally, cellular shades also filter and/or prevent harmful UV rays from entering into your home, sparing your furniture and floors from fading. 

Aside from trapping air, honeycomb cellular shades are fantastic at sound absorption, promoting a quiet, peaceful space. 

Experience Comfort All Year Long and Energy Savings

Cellular shades are a great option for comfortable indoor temperatures all year long while also saving on your energy bill. 

Not only does their honeycomb design trap and block hot air, but it targets cold air in the winter, too. Trapping cold air just as they do warmer air, the honeycomb design of cellular shades keep homes warm and toasty when temperatures drop. 

In both cases, this leads to less energy output since you’re less likely to crank the AC or heat. As a result, you get a lower energy bill and can feel good knowing you’re reducing your carbon footprint — what’s not to love?
