Screen Shades from Hunter Douglas

We love the longer daylight hours of summer, but by the time the solstice has come and gone, you best be sure that you’re ready for the intensity of the seasons with proper window treatments for your home. In rooms like patios or sunrooms where natural sunlight is abundant, screen shades offer control, style, and easy upgrades that improve both the overall usability of the room and the comfort level as well. Luckily, screen shades from Hunter Douglas will help keep you cool and shades.

Top 5 Things We Love About Screen Shades

1. Protection

Our homes are where we keep some of our most valuable possessions, whether that be a one-of-a-kind painting from your favorite contemporary artist or a finger painting from a grandchild. And while our homes may feel safe, there can be invisible threats to its sanctity sometimes invading the premises in broad daylight. UV rays are one of those threats. Coming in with natural sunlight, UV rays have the potential to do real harm in your home causing sun-damage in furnishings that can present as discoloration or bleaching in materials as well as cracking, warping, chipping, or pre-mature aging. Screen shades can smartly filter sunlight allowing for natural illumination but blocking 86% to 99% of UV rays.

2. Eco Friendly Fabrics

Explore eco-friendly textile options from Hunter Douglas with screen shades made with their one-of-a-kind Greenscreen Sea-Tex™ fabric. Sea-Tex™ fabrics are made from yarn spun from reclaimed detritus that washed ashore. The environmentally conscious textiles still look sophisticated when used in screen shades with polished finishing details and a range of colors and weave patterns to choose from.

3. Keep the View, Enjoy the Light

Screen shades from Hunter Douglas come in 5 levels of openness (or opacity) that balance light control and privacy on a varying scale. Customize screen shades for your exact needs whether that errs on the side of more privacy with less view or more light with more view.

4. Child-safe Screen Shades

Households with small children or pets can appreciate the many child-safe operating systems that are available for screen shades from Hunter Douglas. Child-friendly shades do not use loose, hanging lines to open or close the window shade, which pose a strangulation hazard. Rather, they use innovative operating systems that negate the need for those problematic loose lines. Hunter Douglas has several cord-free operating systems that are compatible with their solar shades, including PowerView®, LiteRise®, and SoftTouch®.

5. Crafted to Corners

Screen shades aren’t just great for sun-filled rooms like patios, they are also great for decorative windows like bay windows or corner windows. Similar to when they are used in larger rooms, screen shades over bay windows work to both control light and maintain the beauty and openness of the window itself.
