Warm Window

Warm Windows® are insulated Roman shades. Due to the insulation and vapor barriers in these curtains plus their ability to seal cold air out and warm air in, each curtain will prevent 81% of winter heat loss and 79% of summer heat gain. Other noted benefits of these curtains are: decreased outside noise, darker sleep area, and increase of home value, all in the form of a simple-to-use Roman shade. In this class, Cathy Thomas will help you create and take home a completed Warm Window® to match your own window needs. Sewing skills are not required, but machines will be available for those who wish to use them.
