Ever since Mrs. Caesar started to decorate with insulated roman shades people have been using these great looking roman blinds to stay warm and cozy. With the winters getting colder and the summers getting hotter, now more than ever, we need to keep our castles comfortable.

Comfortable doesn't mean sitting in the center of the room away from the cold window in the winter nor does it mean being next to the fireplace. Comfortable means using that favorite chair your so found of sitting right next to that big window any time of year.

To get your rooms this comfortable, one of the best ways is to use insulated roman shades in your windows. There are three distinct reasons for insulated roman shades.

1. To look Awesome

Every window treatment is meant to look awesome but some do it with extraordinary style while others just hang around and look blah. Roman shades have great style especially when they are lined and interlined which is how insulated roman shades are made.

They take the face fabric, line it with a regular drapery lining and then they sandwich a layer of cotton felt lining, called an interlining. This creates a shade that is heavy but a shade that looks like a million dollars.

The shade takes on an entirely new look with the extra weight and that soft interlining. It's graceful, looks terrific and cascades down your window in style and grandeur.

2. To keep You Comfortable

This is where insulated roman shades pull out of the window treatment crowd and becomes part of the highly purposed elite. Let face it most window treatments give you light control but let the heat and cold come right on in - no comfort control at all.

Insulated Roman shades when made to the right size in width and length keep you down right cozy. They repel the heat and the cold that is trying to come on into you house through your windows. Lets face it most window blinds do nothing to keep the heat and cold out of the house, they look great, but they are not energy saving friendly.

To accomplish this insulating, they need to be mounted inside the window frame where they look their best anyway. Mounting your roman on the outside of your windows lets the heat and cold come right on in and does nothing for you energy bill.

3. To save you a bundle of money

With the cost of fuel and energy rising with no ceiling in sight, coupled with the record setting cold wether in winter and heat in summer insulated roman shades should be awarded a best buy award.

Two dead air spaces are created when you add that center layer of soft cotton lining and dead air spaces are the best insulating factor you can get. That is the secret to saving a bushel of money. It gives you an r-factor of over 5. That's a huge r-factor and the reason they insulate so well.

Insulated roman shades should be right at the top of your list if you are thinking of going green or conserving your money supply.
