Re: GBlist: Window coverings (cellular shade R-values)




Cameron: In our demonstration home/office, we used several different types
(double & triple cells) of cellular blinds (some tracked, some not) from 2
manufacturers, plus Window Quilts (R 3.7) throughout:
1) Springs Window Fashions: contact Mark Terlecke @ (608) 836-1011/6230
   R - 0.04 to R - 1.38 (Warnock Hersey, 1994)
2) Hunter Douglas: Don Roberton, 1-800 661-6533 or 1-800 727-8953 (NJ)
   R2.76 (triple)
In case you are interested in Window Quilts, contact Lorraine Erickson
1-800 257-4501, since they reduce window heat-loss/gain by radiation,
convection and conduction. Hope this may be of interest. If you find any better
ones, please let me know.
