Everyone is need of some gooooooooood news. Amirite?

Ready for good news times 3?

  • Let’s talk about money savings. 
  • Oh and ENERGY savings. 
  • And environmental conservation!

BOOM!

Your outdated, drafty windows are costing you SERIOUS dough! Not sourdough, that everyone has been obsessed with during the pandemic, I’m talkin’ MONEY! 

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. 
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!

I need to sit down for a minute…pheeeewww….that number is even too big to type. *deep breaths*
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.

  • Outdated Furnace
  • Overworked AC

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!?

With Symphony Shades you’ll reduce your energy usage, increase your money savings, reduce your carbon footprint, making your home an insulating powerhouse and become more eco-friendly with each Symphony Shade. Ya wanna know what else? Each Symphony Shade purchase is supporting a small business. Small businesses like ours is the fabric of USA. And we are so proud to handcraft a quality product that will be used for years(decades!) to come.

Truth.

You win with more money in your pocket. Your house reduces it’s energy usage. The world wins.

Now let’s CONSERVE SOME ENERGY AND SAVE MONEY!

It’s a strange, new world we are in. Who would have thought 2020 would result in this…a global pandemic. It’s like Mother Nature just sent us all to our bedroom to think about what we’ve done.

If you’re one of the lucky ones, you are now working from the safety of your home. YAY! But you’re navigating uncharted waters. You’ve moved your computer screen 8 gazillion times in one day, avoiding the relentless glare. And it’s STILL not right.

Is this YOU? We can help.

Perhaps, you’ve even muttered to yourself, “How did I NOT know how BLINDING the Sun is?”

Then….as we all begin feeling cut off from the outside world, you decide to move your makeshift desk closer and closer to the window, to see the trees, the birds or a neighbor waving across the way….but MAN! Then you feel it. Ice cold air. “Where is that FREEZING cold draft coming from?!”

Soo…you run, grab your favorite blankie & wrap yourself up like a burrito.

BUT how do burritos type?! They don’t. Well, not successfully.

We want to help you with ALL of this.

Our Energy-Saving Sidetracks will nip those ice cold draft in the bud! Your windows will be snug as a bug!

5 Reasons You Need New Cell Shades for Your Makeshift Home Office

  4. If I have to see that window all day, it might as well be gorgeous.
  5. They’re on SALE right now! Wait, why isn’t this number one???
