Layering Window Treatments for the Ultimate in Light Control
At Don’s Drapery Service we feel like when it comes to new window shades, where one is good two are often better! That’s because layered window treatments offer unmatched benefits for homeowners that exceed simple light control.
By smartly harmonizing two different window coverings into a unified window treatment, homeowners can gain the perks of both styles and have better control over incoming sunlight and privacy. So, when it comes to protecting your household and creating an atmosphere that is comfortable to spend time in, turn to multi-tiered window treatments to meet your daily needs and add a sense of style and functionality to your interiors when you pair together window coverings from Hunter Douglas.
Crafting Style for Layered Window Fashions
To craft layered window fashions with both style and purpose, use this general formula.
- Start with a base layer that addresses a functional need in the space. For example, cellular shades excel at insulation, shutters provide natural airflow and privacy, or motorized shades have a cord free design for child safety.
- Ask yourself, what do you need in this space then start crafting a layered treatment based on that need.
- Next, use the top layer to add style and personalization to the multi-tiered window fashion. Drapery makes an excellent top layer with its highly customizable style drawn from a rich collection of fabric choices and the fact its design is compatible with any number of base layer treatments.
Protect Against UV
UV rays naturally occur in sunlight. These harmful rays can damage your home in numerous ways. Prolonged exposure to UV can cause discoloration, yellowing, bleaching, warping, cracking, or peeling in numerous materials. Sun damage of this nature can be seen in homes where the UV has attacked flooring, furniture, wall paint or even artwork. When you pair together a UV-protecting solar shade with draperies, for example, you can enjoy the benefits of both window coverings to create a multi-tiered window fashion that works together to keep out more sun than either treatment could on its own by adding layers of protection to your home.
Control Solar Heat
Besides light, sunrays bring heat—and though this solar heat may be welcomed on a chilly winter day, it’s most unwanted during the summer when homeowners are actively trying to keep their homes cool and comfortable. Layered window treatments offer layers of insulation that help to keep solar heat out by blocking, deflecting, or absorbing sunlight. They also help to keep any air conditioning in for cooler interiors achieved through energy conscious means.
- Pair Duette® Cellular Shades with drapes for an added layer of protection against the heat or choose a roller shade with the Duolite® system to combine two layers of shade on one roll for light-diffusing and room-darkening benefits.
Styles of Interior/Exterior Combination Treatments
Harmonizing window treatments doesn’t just mean you have to stick to interior shades only. Some of the most successful styles of multi-layered window fashions utilize both interior and exterior window coverings to maximize sun protection and add layers of privacy for residents.
Awnings are very adept at light control, blocking and deflecting sunlight before it can reach the home, alleviating the potential for sun damage and negating the negative impact of unwanted solar heat. Pair exterior awnings with any number of interior dressings from custom drapes to multi-layered window fashions to create highly tailored solutions to common household needs.
