Here are a few ideas that you and your family can implement to help make the world a greener place for the next generation:<\/p>\n Did you know that even when it comes to window coverings, you can make more sustainable choices to help reduce your carbon footprint?<\/p>\n We are proud to offer GREENGUARD Gold Certified window coverings. These products are low-emitting so they contribute to cleaner air in your home. They are screened for more than 15,000 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) known to pollute indoor air to help keep your family safer and healthier today!<\/p>\n Did you know that our honeycomb shades are specifically designed to help insulate your windows, keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter? Lowering your energy consumption saves you money year-round but it also contributes to a greener tomorrow.<\/p>\n Made from real bamboo, our woven window coverings<\/a> are sustainable products. Made without synthetic fibres, these natural products decompose much quicker than plastics. Reduce your carbon footprint with bamboo shades today.<\/p>\n Did you know that our solar roller shades<\/a> help block harmful UV rays from getting into your home? This can protect your floors, furniture, rugs, and \u2013 most importantly \u2013 your skin from UV damage. Plus, these shades also block heat so you won\u2019t have to kick your air conditioning into overdrive on a hot summer\u2019s day, minimizing energy consumption.<\/p>\n Have you heard of our Perfect Fit and 100% Satisfaction guarantees? If your window coverings don\u2019t fit or you are not satisfied with them, we can replace them. But what happens to the original blinds? To qualify for a free remake we ask our customers to kindly donate their blinds to a local charity so they can be put to good use for those in need. Our blinds won\u2019t end up in a landfill if they don\u2019t fit just right.<\/p>\n What are some of the things you and your family might consider doing this Earth Day to help support a healthier planet?
