Could Spring Be Here!?!
SIGNS:
I saw a Robin, a mosquito, and a load of woodchips being delivered to my neighbor’s house all in one day- I think spring might be here! In Vermont the arrival of spring is cause for statewide celebration. People smile a little easier, laugh a little louder, and linger outside a bit later.
DILEMA:
With spring comes longer days and I sure felt that in my living room the other day. The sun was pouring through the skylights and the room was down right hot.

SOLUTION: 
Everyone at Gordon’s Window Decor has always told me that my skylights were the most important windows to cover, but I guess since I don’t sit right next to it I never realized just how much impact they have. AND according to HGTV (http://www.hgtv.com/organizing/window-coverings/index.html) cellular shades are the most energy efficient window covering option! So how great is it that we make cellular skylights in our factory in Essex Junction. I can get an R- value of up to 5.8 with the skylights. That will certainly save some money on air conditioning!
SUMMARY:
I wonder just how much heat I lost over the winter considering hot air rises so all my heat must have literally been flying out of that window. I haven’t spent a summer in my house yet, so I can just imagine how hot those skylights are going to make the room in the middle of summer. I’m thrilled that I’m realizing this now so I can get EcoSmart cellular shades installed in my skylights now before the real heat hits!
