Prepping your Home for Fall

Fall is officially here, even in Cape Coral, Florida! While the autumn season is gorgeous, this change of season calls for preparing your home for cooler temperatures. One effective way to do that is by investing in energy-efficient window treatments. We explore how you can keep your house warm and cozy during the fall season with innovative solutions in our Cape Coral, Florida, showroom.

Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades in Cape Coral, Florida (FL)

Choose Insulated Window Treatments

Do you find that certain rooms in your home are drafty in the cooler months and roasting in the warmer months, no matter how much you crank up the heating or air? Often, this is because the windows in that space don't provide the insulation you need. As a result, your home's air goes out, and the outside air comes in, making the temperature hard to control.

That's why one of our tips for prepping your home for fall is adding energy-efficient window treatments, such as Hunter Douglas cellular shades, to your windows. These products provide an extra layer of insulation for your windows so that your home stays at your ideal temperature year-round, helping you save on your energy bill.

Seal Gaps and Cracks

Fluctuating temperatures in a home are often due to air exchange between inside and outside. That's why another of our tips for prepping your home for fall is sealing any gaps or cracks before installing new window treatments. Properly sealing these areas with weatherstripping and caulk can significantly improve your home's energy efficiency by adding additional insulation.

Layer Window Coverings

Layering window treatments is another excellent route when prepping your home for fall. Adding an extra insulation layer helps keep your home warm while adding visual interest. For example, you could pair Hunter Douglas drapes with cellular shades or blinds to keep your home warm all autumn.

Consider Smart Window Treatments

When learning how to keep your house warm in the fall, consider adding PowerView® Automation from Hunter Douglas to your home. You can program these automated shades to open and close at specific times, helping you make the most of natural sunlight to heat your home during the day and providing insulation during colder nights. Plus, PowerView® Automation can open or close as the sun rises and sets, so you don't have to lift a finger.
