The Best Shades for Sun
While we may be in the northern part of the country, that does not mean that our summers do not see a lot of hot, bright sunlight! While this makes for perfect pool or lake days, no one wants to walk into their home feeling like they are walking on the surface of the sun. Unfortunately, hanging inadequate blinds up on your windows this summer can result in that.
Fortunately, Hunter Douglas offers two stunning shades that provide excellent lighting all year long: Silhouette® Window Shadings and Pirouette® Window Shadings. Read on to discover why these are the best shades for the sun.
Silhouette® Window Shadings
Offering both light and privacy at the same time, Silhouette® Window Shadings are one of the best shades for the sun this summer season. These custom window treatments from Hunter Douglas feature S-shaped vanes that are easily adjustable and appear to be floating between two sheer fabrics for a lovely look that blends in well with any style of home. Of course, if you want your window treatments to stand out, these Hunter Douglas shades also come in a variety of unique colors, including Capri, Castille, Pesto, and more. When you hang your Silhouette® Window Shadings up in your home, you will enjoy softly filtered light and privacy at the same time thanks to the two-in-one design of this shade.
Silhouette® Window Shadings also have another wonderful benefit that you are sure to enjoy. In addition to filtering out brightness and glare during those hot summer days, these Hunter Douglas window treatments also block out harmful UV rays. Depending on your fabric choice, these shadings can filter up to 88 percent of the sun’s harmful rays. This ensures that your artwork, furniture, flooring, and other interior pieces will remain safe from sun damage. With so many benefits, it is easy to see why Silhouette® Window Shadings are the best shades for the sun.
Pirouette® Window Shadings
Another classic shade for the summer, Hunter Douglas Pirouette® Window Shadings are perfect for homes that desire clean lines and a straightforward design. A modern alternative to a traditional fabric shade, Pirouette® Window Shadings let you get creative while enjoying some solace from the sun all year long.
These exclusive Hunter Douglas shadings feature softly contoured, front-facing vanes attached to a single sheer backing to create a fluid look when opened and closed. To enjoy your views, simply raise these shadings completely into their headrail for an unobstructed view and a clean, polished look at your window. For privacy, you can easily close the shades. As with Silhouette® Window Shadings, Pirouette® Window Shadings also provide UV protection. These shades block up to 81 percent of harmful UV rays when opened and 99 percent when closed even on the brightest days. These are a just few reasons why Pirouette® Window Shadings are one of the best shades for the sun.
