Do You Need Blackout Shades?

Even as summer transitions into fall, that sun isn't going anywhere. From the height of summer to the middle of winter, bright sunlight is often a constant, save for a few cloudy days. This can become quite a nuisance in any home! If you are tired of sunlight, streetlamps, car headlights, or even moonlight disrupting your sleep or causing glare on your screens, blackout shades might be the solution. So, do you need blackout shades? We discuss the benefits.

Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades with blackout liner near Rehoboth Beach, DE

Deeper Rest

Have you ever woken up with light streaming into your eyes? Whether it's the streetlamp outside your window in the middle of the night or bright sunlight waking you up before your alarm, unwanted light in the bedroom isn't pleasant. Blackout shades help block unwanted light the second they are drawn.

Duette® Honeycomb Shades with LightLock™ from Hunter Douglas fits securely onto a window frame and absorbs light from all angles, leaving rooms in your home in blissful darkness.

Better Privacy

Whether you are in the suburbs, country, or city, privacy is a top priority for any home. Blackout shades from Hunter Douglas keep unwanted light and eyes from peering into your home, thanks to their darkopacity.

No More Glare

No one wants glare to disrupt their movie nights or office time. Blackout shades eliminate glare on screens so you can see the movies, spread sheets, meetings, or games in front of you.

Energy Efficiency

Blackout shades aren't just about providing a dark sanctuary in your room. Blocking sunlight and blackout shades can help regulate your home's temperature in the summer. By reducing heat reduction, blackout shades keep your home cool even as the temperatures outside rise. Over time, this can help reduce your energy bills. In the winter, blackout shades offer an extra layer of insulation to help keep your home's warm air inside.

Contrary to what you might believe, blackout shades come in more than dark, heavy fabrics. Hunter Douglas blackout shades like Vignette® Modern Roman Shades, Duette® Honeycomb Shades, and Silhouette® Window Shadings come in hundreds of materials and colors, allowing you to customize your blackout shades to fit the aesthetic of your home.
