•    Honeycomb cell shades are best known for their ability to insulate. Several brands qualify for a federal tax credit for energy savings. They have a clean, modern look, which doesn’t suit everyone’s tastes. The do come in lots of colors to bring a splash of brightness to a room or keep it more neutral.

•    Vertical Blinds are most often used on oversized windows or sliding doors. They stack to the left or right and are easy to use and clean. The style is considered contemporary, which some people don’t like.  

•    Aluminum mini blinds are the best choice if you don’t have a lot of money to spend. Some of these blinds can be found for less than $20.00 per blind. There’s a rainbow of color choices.

•    Roman shades bring style and class to a room. They work in a number of rooms from the bedroom to living or dining rooms. The fabrics come in patterned and plain. Some companies are pairing them with cell shades for additional insulating power. In order to get a full view from the window, however, the shades must be raised completely.

•    Roller shades and solar screen shades cut UV rays and kill glare that can be a strain on eyes. They insulate against heat, but aren’t intended as insulators against the cold. They are perfect for rooms that get a lot of sun and ideal for warmer climates. They roll up for great, unobstructed views. The weave pattern offers views while the blinds are closed.
