Improved Light Control with Dual-Layer Treatments

Improved Light Control with Dual-Layer Treatments Near Peoria, Illinois (IL) like Honeycomb Shades with Motorization Options

When you think of window treatments, they seem pretty simple: they cover your window when needed and let light in when you want to enjoy it. Even though those two functions seem rather simple, those qualities actually exist on a spectrum. For example, the fabric you choose determines how much light continues to flow into your home when your shades are closed. Similarly, other custom options can help you black out a room or even improve your energy consumption. With dual-layer window treatments from SunGard Window Fashions, you can enjoy more light control and possibly improve the energy efficiency of your home.

One of the most well-known, dual-layer, and efficient window treatments, is Duette® Honeycomb Shades. These shades are one of the first of its kind. Named for the way they are built; these shades are constructed in a honeycomb fashion. This means that honeycomb shades, sometimes called cellular shades, have pockets or cells between the fabric layers that serve as insulation by trapping air. As the cells trap air flowing in and around the window, it prevents the air from circulating through your home. When the shades are lowered, they can also serve as a barrier, keeping your conditioned air from escaping through the windows.

Another way to enjoy the benefits of added light control with dual-layer window treatments is through the Duolite® option. This customization is available for Duette® Honeycomb Shades, Silhouette® Modern Shadings, and Vignette® Modern Roman Shades. The Duolite® option combines both a light-filtering fabric panel and a room-darkening panel all in one single shade. This means that you can enjoy the best of both worlds for maximum light control without having to have extra hardware and added bulk around your windows. Since you can configure shades with the Duolite® option is a variety of ways, you can rest assured that your privacy is always in your own hands.

If these dual-layer options don’t meet your needs, or you need a little extra control, then you can turn to layering your window treatments. Pairing a set of blinds or shades with a pair of curtains means that you can use both at once or one as needed. By anchoring your curtains at each side of the window, they can add style and décor to your home’s interior. Then, when you need to take advantage of them for light and privacy control, you can adjust them to cover the window. For instance, if you have a light-filtering shade, you can use room-darkening curtains to block light in the evenings or early mornings. The opposite is true as well; if you have room-darkening shades and want to enjoy some light while maintaining privacy, you can open the shade and cover the window with sheers.

Dual-layer window treatments offer flexibility when it comes to maintaining your privacy while also providing improved light control. As an added benefit, dual-layer window treatments create extra insulation at the window, making your home a little more energy efficient.
