Shades That Keep the Sun Out
The sun is high, the skies are blue, and the temperatures are reaching their classic Florida highs. While pool season is officially here, we cannot live in our pools to stay cool. (Unless you want to look like a raisin, that is.) Fortunately, Hunter Douglas has a variety of shades that are perfect for the hot Florida summer. In fact, Hunter Douglas offers shades that keep the sun out, your home cool, and your personal design style on display. Whether you want to cover each window in your home or just a few in those particularly sunny rooms, Hunter Douglas has a shade for you. Read on to discover shades that keep out the sun, including Solera® Soft Shades and Designer Screen Shades.
Solera® Soft Shades
When it comes to shades that keep the sun out, you can explore a variety of styles. If you want a fluid, unique look at your windows, then you will love adding Solera® Soft Shades to the mix. Combining the soft folds of a classic Roman shade with the construction of a cellular shade, these Hunter Douglas cordless soft shades offer a stunning look at each window while keeping your home nice and cool throughout the summer. The Top-Down/Bottom-Up design also allows for versatile operation, meaning that you can achieve shade and privacy when you need them most. The fabrics of these shades also offer impeccable sound absorption, which is perfect if you live on a busy street or have hardwood floors that tend to echo every sound.
Speaking of fabrics, Solera® Soft Shades offer luxurious woven and innovative non-woven fabrics, textures, colors, and patterns that suit your styling needs. Additionally, every fabric is available in both light-filtering and room-darkening fabrics. So, if you want more light in your living room but extra shade in your bedroom, you can explore both options with Solera® Soft Shades.
Designer Screen Shades
If you are in need of shades that keep the sun out while covering large expanses of glass, then our Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shades are perfect for you. Wonderful for patios and sunrooms—but compatible with all light-filled spaces in your home—our Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shades let you enjoy your outdoor views while providing UV protection and blocking harsh rays. This will not only keep your home cool and shaded, but it will also protect your works of art, carpeting, or fade-prone furniture. In fact, Designer Screen Shades block between 86% and 99% of the sun’s damaging rays, which is incredibly important in the Sunshine State.
Speaking of sunlight, Designer Screen Shades are organized by their openness factor. Openness is the weave density of screen fabric affecting the degree of glare, UV blockage, privacy, and visibility. There are currently five openness options that range from most view/least privacy to minimal view/maximum privacy. This allows you to customize your Designer Screen Shades however you wish.
