Guest post: Window treatments can reduce energy costs
Today’s post comes from Richard Moyle, the content writer for Horizon Window Treatments in New York City. Horizon has the largest showroom in Manhattan and has provided the NYC metro area with high-quality custom blinds, shades and draperies for over 10 years.
The primary concerns most people have when shopping for new window treatments are decoration and privacy. But certain types of window treatments can cut your energy costs in half by preventing heat loss or gain. This is not only good for your wallet, but for the environment as well. However, there isn’t one type of treatment that can give maximum energy efficiency to every home, so there are a couple things to take into consideration.

Hi – I was just hoping to get your advice on something. I’m in search of dining chairs to go into a kitchen eating area that will get lots of use by both adults and children. I thought about doing wooden chairs for easy cleaning, but I really prefer an upholstered chair. What kind of material should I be looking for that can withstand a lot of use?
Thank you!
What do you think?
