Extraordinary comfort, energy efficiency and elegant style: Awardwinning Krumpers Solar Blinds
With a crisp chill in the air ushering in Mother Nature’s symphony of fall colours, we embrace the warmth and cosiness of our homes while bringing the beauty of nature indoors via Krumpers Solar Blinds — a Smart-Tech, two-sided (summer/winter) solution for your windows that will allow a clear view while insulating the windows and saving on energy costs.
Krumpers Solar Blinds, based in Ottawa, earned the Scotiabank EcoLiving Award and the BMO “Innovation of the Year.” Most noteworthy, Krumpers has also earned the continued praise and support of both industry professionals and clients who remain enthusiastic Krumpers product ambassadors long after the initial installation of their solar blinds.
What makes Krumpers Solar Blinds so unique in the world of window blinds? Simply stated, it’s great design that combines form and function — an intriguing new brand proposition that sets forth our belief that well-designed window fashions should do more than just cover a window.
Krumpers’ unique twosided solar blinds employs a form of passive solar technology, using the sun’s energy for the heating and solar reflective technology for cooling of indoor spaces. When they are on the summer side, the majority of the sun’s rays are reflected back out of the window before they are converted into heat. In their winter mode, Krumpers Solar Blinds actually become a passive solar collector. A window in direct sunlight creates a significant amount of heat (a 4x4foot window creates 2,096 BTUs, which is equivalent to a 600-watt electric heater); Krumpers Solar Blinds insulate with a value of R10.
As more homeowners and businesses are starting to feel the pinch of rising energy costs and are preparing for yet another Canadian winter, they are turning to innovative solutions such as solar blinds, to make a huge impact in both costs and comfort. Krumpers independent lab results illustrate that their product can result in up to a 40 per cent reduction of annual heating and cooling costs. In fact, one set of Krumpers Solar Blind owners who were without power for a 24-hour period during a freezing winter storm said the temperature in their condo did not fall below 17 Celsius, due largely to their Krumpers Solar Blinds keeping the cold from entering through their floor-to-ceiling windows. Regardless of the high winds at the top of their condominium building, or the plummeting thermometer and ice buildup, Krumpers’ product continued to work, keeping them safe and snug.
