Keeping the view while keeping out the heat and UV

-

Summer has finally arrived and we just cannot get enough of the warm sunshine!

But when we get indoors, the heat coming through the windows quickly becomes uncomforta­ble and the UV damage disconcert­ing. The long winter has left us yearning for the awakening that is spring, and we look outside to the wonder of blooming trees, flowers and the sun that stimulates our senses and our moods.

However, all the comforts of the sunshine and warmth outdoors can cause discomfort indoors. Windows are the weakest link in any building structure, as the windows are the only element that brings the outdoors inside. Thus, the heat buildup from the same windows we love to look out through makes our homes uncomforta­ble and costly to keep cool.

Krumpers Solar Blinds’ unique smart technology allows one to keep the view while protecting the dwelling from both heat and UV damage. Moreover, due to the two-sided design of Krumpers Solar Blinds, when winter returns one simply has to turn the blinds around and the home is protected from heat loss while still allowing a clear, unobstruct­ed view of the beautiful outdoors.

Krumpers Solar Blinds have been voted “Best Blinds” for five years in a row and have already been nominated for 2015. Based on third-party lab results, Krumpers Blinds illustrate a reduction in cooling and heating costs by up to 41 per cent, while providing 92 per cent UV protection.

Clients have been raving not only about the comfort that they have experience­d since the installati­on of the Krumpers Blinds, but moreover the enjoyment of having the view and allowing it to be the focal point of the room. As Kathy (a client) puts it, “Mother Nature is a great artist and the savings on my cooling and heating is certainly much appreciate­d. My air conditioni­ng can actually keep up and my furnace is not running 24/7.” Extensive number of reviews attest not only to the comfort, elegance and efficiency of Krumpers Blinds, but also to the personal service and integrity of the staff.

Krumpers Solar Blinds are made in Canada for the Canadian climate, and are priced at $35 per square foot. Finally, the window treatment industry has a product to meet the criteria of discerning consumers seeking comfort, elegance and efficiency. For more informatio­n, please visit
