Using Window Furnishings to Minimise Your Carbon Footprint

Interior Blinds

At Stan Bond we believe that Earth Day, April 22, is a great opportunity to further build a healthy, sustainable environment, to tackle climate change and to protect future generations.

We advocate the use of evidence-based knowledge to reduce environmental outputs. Our screen and shade solutions can improve your home’s comfort and reduce heating or cooling demand, depending on the product, glazing, climate and use.

Interior Blinds:

To reduce solar heat gain while maintaining desired light and ventilation, our range of Indoor Blinds are an excellent energy efficient option.

A great example of Interior Blinds to consider are our Honeycomb Cellular Blinds. Their pleated design creates insulating air pockets between the window and the interior space, working as a form of insulation.

Choose window coverings for each window’s orientation, glazing and exposure. The aim may be to limit summer sun, retain winter heat or balance both.

Exterior Blinds and Awnings:

By blocking the sun before it has a chance to get into the house, Outdoor Blinds and Awnings are, in some cases, your most energy-efficient option.

Our Aluminium Roller Shutters, for example, can help shade windows in summer and reduce heat loss in winter, with results depending on the installation.

At Stan Bond, we have a broad range of Exterior Blinds and Awnings to suit any aesthetic and minimise your carbon footprint.

Window Film:

Often overlooked as an energy efficient option, Window Film is as unobtrusive as it is effective.

Solar-control window film can reduce solar heat gain through compatible glazing. Film-specific infrared or solar-rejection ratings are not the same as whole-home energy savings; ask for the datasheet and glazing assessment for the proposed film.

Ultimately, by installing appropriate window furnishings in your home, you will more effectively keep unwanted heat out in summer and reduce heat loss in winter.

To see which shading options work best for you, visit our Campbelltown Display Centre on Lower North East Road. Our staff would love to speak to you about minimising your carbon footprint and reducing your energy bills.

And finally, this Earth Day, we ask you to take a moment to think about what you can do to reduce your environmental footprint and improve the world for future generations. Remember, every little bit goes a long way.
