Best Summer Shades for Michigan Homes
It’s summer! Gone are the days of frigid winter and temperamental spring weather, and in are the days of bright sunshine, warm weather, and lake vacations when we can squeeze them in. Why we love summer, we do admit that it does have a few down points. This is especially true when it comes to your home.
If you feel like you are walking on the surface of the sun when you enter a room because the bright sunshine is flooding through your windows, your shades might not be cutting it. If you feel that certain rooms in your home feel hotter than they should no matter how high you crank that air conditioning, your shades might also be falling short in that department as well.
Fortunately, at Window Creations & Design Center, we offer some of the best shades for Michigan homes from Hunter Douglas and we are here to help you find your match. With honeycomb cellular shades, solar shades, and stunning sheers, there’s sure to be a style to suit your home’s needs this season.
Best Shades for Comfort
During the summer, comfort in the home is absolutely key. After all, no one wants to walk into a house that feels like an oven after spending a day in the summer heat. That is why one of the best insulating shades, great for summer, is Duette® Cellular Shades from Hunter Douglas. Featuring a construction of a dicreet layer of honeycomb shaped cells, these shades trap air at your windows for added insulation. In turn, this will keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. No more hot or cold spots when the seasons reach their peak.
Additionally, this extra insulation at your windows can help reduce your energy bills over time, as it is keeping your home comfortable, naturally. Plus, with various colors available, these shades can be customized to fit your home’s aesthetic.
Best Shades for UV Protection
Why the summer sun is excellent for pool days, it’s not so excellent for your furniture and belongings if they’re left to the elements. When your windows are left uncovered, intense UV rays constantly bombard the interiors of your home. Much like UV damage can affect the skin if we don’t use sunscreen, UV can also affect the interiors of our home if our windows aren’t covered properly. That is why one of the best summer shades are Designer Solar Shades from Hunter Douglas.
Specially crafted to curb harsh UV rays, these shades effortlessly protect your interiors and belongings from fading, cracking, discoloring, or peeling in the summer sun without detracting from your views. You can also choose from five fabric opacities to achieve the perfect amount of light and shade in your home.
Best Shades for Ultimate Light Control
If you are looking for ultimate light control, then one of the best summer shades for your home are Silhouette® Sheer Shades. Silhouette® Sheer Shades transform bright summer sunlight into a dreamy glow throughout your home. This is thanks to their S-shaped fabric vanes that float between two sheer panels. For gorgeous, diffused light, along with daytime privacy, simply adjust the fabric vanes accordingly. These innovative shades mix the benefits of blinds and sheers to create a shade that protects your home from UV rays and provides a flexible light-filtering option so that you can enjoy the views of summer without giving up function or privacy.
