Embrace Spring with Window Shades that Love Light

Embrace the spring with window shades that love light, or at least that's what we're going to do! This spring, open your home to the warming and wonderful benefits of natural sunlight that the extended daytime hours of spring bring. For Hawaiian households, loving the sunshine is right up there with controlling it because when left to its own devices, natural sunlight can not only heat our homes to sweltering levels but damage furnishing and flooring because of its harmful UV rays. Window shades that love light and provide protection, therefore, are the pinnacle of springtime design; luckily, several different styles in the Hunter Douglas collection meet those requirements.

Window Shades that Love Light, Hunter Douglas Designer Solar Shades near Kahului, Hawaii (HI)

Designer Solar Shades

Natural sunlight brings light, of course, but also unseen dangers like UV radiation. The beauty of Designer Solar Shades is in the way they deal with both the good and bad elements of sunlight. Solar shades block UV to protect homes, come in a range of opacities for view-through features, and keep sunny rooms feeling warm, welcoming, and open while protecting residents and their belongings.

Sheer Shades

Sheer material makes great window shades that love light because while their look is soft and ethereal, their applications are rooted in elevated performance. Sheer obscures the view for privacy and transforms glaring sunlight into soft interior illumination. Hunter Douglas uses sheer materials in several modern treatments that combine translucent material with light-blocking fabrics. Silhouette® Sheer ShadesPirouette® Sheer Shades, and Luminette® Sheer Panels are examples of sheer-based window shades that love light but still have the ability to block just enough to keep you comfortable.

Designer Banded Shades

Like modern sheer shades, banded shades employ both see-through and opaque materials to allow them to create a wide range of light levels. Their alternating bands give the treatment a strong linear style, and the easy-to-control roller unit allows homeowners to adjust and balance the amount of privacy they need with the view they want precisely. Designer Banded Shades from Hunter Douglas also have exclusive geometric patterns to choose from for contemporary interior design aesthetics. Window shades that love light come in all forms, including the modern looks of banded shades.

Vinyl Shutters

Plantation-style shutters love light, and they have a unique knack when it comes to controlling it. The tilting louvers allow the shutters to block direct light but still create interior illumination, provide privacy without completely cutting off sunlight, and provide natural airflow while protecting your home's interior. Vinyl shutters like Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters have the additional benefit of being made of UV- and moisture-resistant material.
