Your Checklist for Summer Comfort
Summer in New Mexico is all about lounging in the pool, enjoying ice-cold drinks on the patio, and soaking up that warm sun. It's also about high energy bills, glare, and temperature swings if your windows aren't properly covered. While all window treatments provide some level of light control and insulation, Hunter Douglas styles take these essentials to a whole new level.
Window Treatments for Temperature Control
Did you know that a significant amount of heat can be lost or gained through a home's windows? These fluctuations contribute to temperature swings that leave rooms hot in the summer and cold in the winter, no matter how many times you adjust the thermostat.
Fortunately, Hunter Douglas offers several window treatments that assist with temperature control. Cellular shades do an exceptional job of trapping air at the window, providing insulation that makes a real difference. Available in several opacities, cellular shades are perfect for managing light in living rooms or blocking it out in bedrooms.
Hunter Douglas cellular shades currently include:
- Duette® Cellular Shades: Provide insulation with a cellular design that helps keep your home cool on scorching hot days and comfortable at night when temperatures drop, all while offering beautiful fabrics, sound absorption, and lovely natural light.
- Applause® Cellular Shades: Deliver highly energy-efficient insulation through a double-cellular design, available in a streamlined selection of styles and fabrics.
- Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades: Pair the clean simplicity of a roller shade with a cellular insulating design, adding dimensional beauty and soft, radial light diffusion to any room.
Window Treatments for Light Control
New Mexico sunlight in the summer is about as strong as it gets. With intense sun exposure throughout the day, homeowners often deal with harsh glare, UV damage to flooring and furniture, and the frustrating trade-off of closing their window treatments in the afternoon just to cope. Hunter Douglas offers a wide range of window treatments for light control that let you enjoy natural light without the downsides.
A few styles we'd recommend from Hunter Douglas include:
- Silhouette® Window Shadings: Feature adjustable S-shaped fabric vanes that float between two sheer panels, delivering diffused light and daytime privacy while protecting furniture and flooring from UV damage.
- Luminette® Privacy Sheers: Combine sheers and blinds in one treatment, making them an ideal choice for wide windows and sliding glass doors, with rotating fabric vanes for precise light control and privacy.
- Designer Solar Shades: Curb harsh UV rays to protect your interiors while keeping your views to the outside intact, with five fabric opacity options to suit any room.
