Protect Your Home from Excessive Sun with Screen Shades
No matter what time of year it is, as a proud homeowner in the Alpharetta area, you want to ensure your belongings stay protected from the sun. While bright light enhances your home with its glow, the sun’s harsh UV rays can damage your floors, furnishings, and art. It can also produce annoying glares that make it challenging to complete computer work or view a movie on your TV screens. No matter what time of year it is, as a proud homeowner in the Alpharetta area, you want to ensure your belongings stay protected from the sun. While bright light enhances your home with its glow, the sun’s harsh UV rays can damage your floors, furnishings, and art. It can also produce annoying glares that make it challenging to complete computer work or view a movie on your TV screens.
That’s where our team of design experts at Classic Blinds & Shutters Design Center can assist. We are proud to offer Hunter Douglas solar shades, also known as screen shades, and here we will discuss their functional and aesthetic features that make them a perfect solution to protect your home any time of year.
Which Rooms Should I Protect with Screen Shades?
Whether it’s your living room, porch, kitchen, or bedroom, south-facing rooms are the sunniest room is always the bright spot of your home. Rooms with windows that face to the east will receive the most light before noon, and rooms that face west will receive the most light in the afternoon and will be warmer than other spaces. North-facing rooms receive the least light naturally.
When deciding on which room to prioritize with screen shades, south- or west-facing rooms with expansive views and lots of windows are a great place to start! Enclosed patios, indoor porches, and sunrooms are among the top spaces where people choose to upgrade to solar shades.
Learn About the Features of Designer Solar Shades
Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shades will keep your home comfortable by curbing harsh ultraviolet rays. Their sheer fabric will protect your interior belongings from fading, warping, and yellowing.
Choose from a variety of over 150 color and sustainable fabric options in five different opacities to customize your shading solution and match with your interior decor, including unique options from the GreenScreen® Sea-Tex™ fabric collection made from recycled material collected from marine plastics. Add decorative accents at the top or bottom for optional enhancements.
With the innovative Dual Roller design from Hunter Douglas, you can simultaneously manage your screen shades’ light and privacy. Two shades or one shade and an opaque liner move smoothly and evenly to control the sun’s glare or manage privacy when you want it.
You can also pick from several different operating systems:
- Beaded Cord Loop: offers convenient control.
- LiteRise® system: allows push-up/pull-down operation with your hand.
- The UltraGlide® retractable cord: is a safe solution that stays at a constant length when raising and lowering your screen shade.
- Our Spring-Assisted Push/Pull system: can be pushed up or pulled down for easy cordless lift.
- SoftTouch® Motorization: moves your shade with a wand you pull down or push up.
