Custom Window Treatments Can Lower Your Business's Utility Costs

Lounge with new window treatments

According to the EPA, heat loss and gain through windows is responsible for 25% to 30% of a building's energy loss. However, updating or installing all new windows in a commercial space can cost thousands upon thousands of dollars.

To provide business owners and contractors with a more budget-friendly approach to reducing monthly energy bills, PAINTech offers two custom window treatments that are as versatile as they are economical: commercial roller shades and blinds. Let's explore how both options work.

Custom Window Treatments: Commercial Blinds and Commercial Roller Shades

Commercial Blinds

Commercial blinds offer the most versatile light control. They can be opened all the way on cooler days and shut tightly in the summer. However, if you're thinking about the flimsy white blinds you find at a home improvement store, PAINTech will exceed your expectations by a long shot.

Our large stock of commercial blinds includes attractive yet economical and durable options such as:

  • Honeycomb or cellular shades for light filtration and heat blocking. Depending on the material, honeycomb custom window treatments can reduce energy bills by up to 10% per month.

  • Vertical blinds for floor-to-ceiling windows.

  • Wood blinds for an elegant touch.

  • Plantation shutters for more complete sun protection and a quaint charm.

We offer each variation in a number of materials, colors, and finishes for solutions that match your decor and meet your energy-saving goals.

Commercial Roller Shades

Roller shades are the most popular commercial window treatment for businesses with large windows and lots of them. Unlike traditional blinds, they're made of one large, heavy piece of fabric. Because of this, they offer complete sun protection in office settings where screen glare strains the eyes and reduces productivity.

If your building's windows catch the sun most of the day, the heat protection from roller shades is a must. In the summer, almost 80% of the sun's light is absorbed by windows and dispersed as heat into every corner of your building. With roller shades, you can control the heat by raising and lowering them to match the sun’s position.

Roller shades aren't just powerful sun blockers — they come in a wide range of colors, textures, and patterns to match your business's decor. For spaces that need more protection, we also offer black-out roller shades. No matter which option you choose, we're driven to complete the project on time and on budget.
