At Blind Ambitions, we design and install high-performance window treatments that insulate your space and put control back in your hands.
From solar shades that block harsh glare to cellular shades that trap heat at the window, every option is made to improve comfort and maximize energy efficiency. With over 35 years of serving Winnipeg, we can help you upgrade to energy-efficient blinds and window shades that improve insulation and support year-round savings.
What Makes A Window Treatment Energy-Efficient?
You may have the top quality windows and doors available on the market, but they will always be your biggest source of heat loss and heat gain! The wrong window coverings make your HVAC system work harder, and your energy costs spike month after month. Energy-efficient window treatments are designed to break that cycle by improving insulation and controlling how sunlight enters the space.
Here's what makes a window treatment truly energy-efficient:
-
Insulating Structure: Products like honeycomb shades form built-in air pockets that block heat loss in cold weather and reduce solar heat gain during summer.
-
Light and Heat Control: Light-filtering fabrics and precision light control help regulate indoor temperatures and protect against glare.
-
Snug, Seamless Fit: Honeycomb and specific shades, such as Sonnettes, reduce light gaps, seal off air leaks and strengthen your home's envelope.
-
Smarter Use of Sunlight: Adjustable designs let you maximize natural light without driving up cooling energy, helping you save energy without sacrificing comfort.
Our Energy-Efficient Window Treatments
We offer a wide range of energy-efficient window treatments that are available to insulate your space, block direct sunlight, and help prevent heat from escaping or building up inside. Each option is made to support better comfort and long-term energy savings.
Adjustable slats give you precise light control while reducing glare and slowing unwanted heat transfer.
Our options help regulate temperature and soften harsh light.
This adds a flexible layer of insulation that reduces cold drafts and minimizes energy loss.
Built-in structure limits airflow and improves thermal resistance at the window.
Timed controls optimize insulation and reduce the need for artificial heating and cooling.
While our other energy-efficient window treatments offer impressive performance, honeycomb shades deserve their own spotlight. These insulating blinds stand out for their ability to provide insulation and deliver meaningful energy savings. Their layered cellular structure traps air, forming a built-in barrier that keeps your home cooler in summer and holds warmth during colder months.
These shades work especially well for large windows, where energy loss is most common. They outperform options like venetian blinds, window film, and solar shades roller by helping reduce solar heat gain and unwanted air transfer. Honeycomb shades can also block light, absorb sound, and integrate cleanly into wood frames and custom window attachments, making them one of the smartest upgrades you can make.
