And we get it, replacing those energy-suckers is BIG bucks! HUGE. The cost of window replacement for 10 vinyl windows is on the upward of $15,955.

THIS is what Symphony Shades will do for you and your home:

  • Cut utility costs all year long.
  • Our shades will actually pay you back (unlike your teenager). 
  • Provide Privacy
  • Reduce Solar Glare/Gain

HOW, You ask? They are SO Super DUPER energy efficient!!

Ok, let’s talk averages here… it costs about $1,300 to heat an American home each year. And here in the Northeast, I’ll share with you … my monthly (yes! Monthly. every month of the year. All twelve of em) propane bill was $220….

Add that up! $2640 a YEAR!! Whhhhhhhhhhaaaa? Insanity. That dough is going out your drafty, energy sucking windows!

Stop doing this.

That’s until I fitted my home with these insulating shades. I’ve saved almost $700 annually since I put these babies up. YEAH!

Every Symphony Shade that leaves our factory, is laden with insulating cells that insulate your windows to reduce energy consumption during Summer, Winter, and every season in between.

Our shades have a payback period of roughly 5 yrs – they pay YOU BACK! <–read that again, and out loud!

Ok so, ya know who else could use a break from doing all the heavy lifting in your home? Your air conditioners and heating systems.

They deserve a break. And when they aren’t working SO hard trying to maintain a comfortable home for you, they will last you longer. Which will reduce the frequency of replacement and costly repairs.

More money staying in your pocket. YES!?

Cordless Double Cell Light Filtering Stack Height
The stack height is how thick the entire shade is when it’s fully compressed.

Stack Height: The distance from the bottom of the bottom rail to the top of the headrail of a window treatment that is fully raised up to the top of the window.

Knowing Stack Height Helps to:

  1. Determine where you should hang your shade above doors or window frames.
  2. Envision how much space at the top of the window will be blocked by the shade.
  3. Decide which type of shade to get in the first place!
