How they work

Functional Art Insulated Window Treatments are composed of a five layer system, designed to give the maximum insulating factor available in a window treatment. The sides are magnetically sealed to prevent draft and reduce heat loss.

3 windows - open, 1/2 open and closed

The five layer system includes:

  1. Your chosen decorator fabric
  2. Metallized Mylar with needled air-trapping polyester fibers
  3. Reflective polyethylene vapor barrier
  4. High density needled hollow fibers
  5. Moisture resistant lining

You can open Functional Art Insulated Window Treatments in the day to let the sun heat your home, and close them at night to keep the winter cold out.

Functional Art Insulated Window Treatments are carefully engineered to combat all four major causes of heat loss.

  1. Conduction is reduced by trapped air spaces between the fibers and layers of insulated fabric.
  2. Infiltration is reduced by the impervious polyethylene and tight magnetic edge seal.
  3. Convection is reduced by the magnetic edge seal.
  4. Radiation is reduced by the reflective metalized poly film which reflects radiant heat back into your home and also reflects away solar gain in summer.

What is R-Value?
The effectiveness of any material in preventing energy from flowing through it is defined in terms of R-value. The higher the R-value of a given material, the greater its insulating capacity. This chart illustrates some R-value comparisons.
