Let Light In with Light-Loving Window Shades

Inviting natural sunlight into your home provides that refreshing source of interior illumination, but it also reduces eye strain and your brighter interiors in turn feel more open and spacious compared to those darker, unlit rooms. Sunlight also brings warmth to a space by providing solar heat, which is wonderful on chilly mornings or colder winter days.

Natural sunlight can have a physical and emotional effect on our bodies as well. Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D, improves our sleep cycles, and can even make us feel happier by reducing our stress levels and lowering blood pressure.

But the key for natural light at home is being able to control it, as too much sunlight can actually be harmful. Without protection, natural sunlight can cause sun rot and UV damage in our skin and in household items from flooring and furniture to décor and painted surfaces.

Installing light-loving shades like sheer shades, solar shades, or banded shades can give homeowners the control and protection they need to keep sunlight a positive and beneficial attribute in their home.

Our team at Don’s Drapery Service is ready to walk you through the many different options for light-loving shades from Hunter Douglas to find the style that best meets your household’s light control needs and matches your décor.

Sheer Shades

Sheer materials are often used in light-loving window shades because of their translucent properties that control sunlight with a sense of subtle grace. Simply by passing through sheer material, sunlight is transformed from a potentially harmful natural element into soft, warming light. Hunter Douglas has multiple styles of light-loving window shades that use sheer material including vertical treatments like Luminette® Sheer Panels as well as horizontally orientated coverings like Pirouette® Sheer Shades and Silhouette® Sheer Shades.

You can take advantage of our Buy More Save More Event when you upgrade to Pirouette® Sheer Shades or Silhouette® Sheer Shades with PowerView® Automation, the motorized and automated window treatment control system from Hunter Douglas.

Solar Shades

Solar shades are a specific type of roller shade made from textiles with different levels of opacity. Like Hunter Douglas sheers, these solar shades are also designed to negate the negative elements of sunlight like harmful UV rays but still permit natural light to enter and preserve the sight line out of your home. Designer Solar Shades by Hunter Douglas are also available with the exclusive and environmentally friendly GreenScreen® Sea-Tex™ fabric collection made from upcycled maritime plastics. Plus, they can roll into a header and out of the way when you want to enjoy unobstructed views.

Banded Shades

As the name implies, Designer Banded Shades use alternating bands of sheer and opaque fabrics to control light. They possess the precision of roller shades and the gracefulness of sheer shades with the ability to provide a range of light control from soft filtration to room darkening. And the band sizes are customizable with small, medium, or large vanes to adjust the feel and look of these light-loving window shades as well as elevated features like unique geometric shapes. For example, smaller band sizes provide more privacy with narrower gaps while larger band sizes afford a better field of vision with larger view-through spaces.
