Benefits of UV-Blocking Shades
There are many ways that we protect ourselves against the intense summer sun. We wear hats, put on sunglasses, and slather on the sunscreen as we drink in these warm days ahead. Of course, while we love a sunny day for a dip in the pool, coming back to a home that is filled with sunlight can be annoying. Not only will this heat up your home, but it can also cause damage to your floors, furniture, and artwork over time. Fortunately, Hunter Douglas offers a variety of UV-blocking shades that let you enjoy sunlight and your outdoor views without any worry of UV damage. Read on to discover the many benefits of UV-blocking shades below!
Designer Screen Shades
One of the benefits of UV-blocking shades is that they do exactly what their title suggests: blocks UV rays. While this may sound a little silly, many shades out there help keep your home shaded, but do not necessarily block UV rays. This would be like wearing sunglasses without any darkening frames! Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shades block between 86% and 99% of the sun’s damaging rays, meaning that you can enjoy natural sunlight without any worry of damage. Designer Screen Shades are perfect for wide expanses of glass–including patios, screen doors, or sunrooms–as well as smaller windows throughout your home.
Speaking of benefits, another one of the benefits of these UV-blocking shades is that they let you enjoy your outdoor views while curbing the sun’s harsh rays all year long. Designed by five different openness factors–or the density of the fabric–Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shades let you have total control over the amount of glare, UV blockage, privacy, and visibility that comes into your home. Designer Screen Shades also come in a variety of custom colors for you to choose from, so you can make them unique to your home.
Silhouette® Window Shadings
Another one of the benefits of Hunter Douglas UV-blocking shades is that they come in a variety of styles. For example, if you desire a soft-looking shade with easy operation, then you will love adding our Silhouette® Window Shadings to your home. These custom UV-blocking shades appear to be floating at your window thanks to their two-in-one design. Additionally, these shades filter out brightness, glare, and UV rays to protect your furniture and flooring from fading as the years roll on.
In fact, depending on your fabric choices, these UV-blocking shades from Hunter Douglas can filter up to 88% of the sun’s harmful rays. Silhouette® Window Shadings also never take away from your views, so you can enjoy UV protection while taking in the great outdoors all summer long. As with any Hunter Douglas window treatment, Silhouette® Window Shadings come in a variety of custom colors and styles that you can choose from. After all, the best part of decorating our homes is finding the right color and pattern that suits our styles!
