Light filtering insulating are Greenguard Certified blinds for indoor air quality. These shades are constructed using cells that capture outside air that might otherwise leak in. They also act as a barrier for keeping room temperature air inside so there are no drastic fluctuations during the heat of the day or when temperatures drop at night. Light filtering blinds reduce heat loss during the winter and solar heat gain during the summer. When opened, the 1-inch cells compress, so the blind takes on the appearance of a Venetian blind.

These window treatments offer privacy and light control as well as insulating qualities. They are available in a variety of neutral colors so as not to distract from other interior design elements. Some companies offer a $50.00 rebate on these blinds, so be sure to look around before purchasing.
