Shades with UV Protection for Hawaiian Homes

If there is one word to describe the sun, it’s relentless. At least when it comes to sunlight funneling into your home every day, with it coming the real and ever-present danger of causing sun damage in your household. In Hawaii, we face as little as 11 hours of daylight in the winter and up to 14 hours in the summer, so durable shades with UV protection are essential to stand up to the unyielding Hawaiian sun.

In the Hunter Douglas collection of window treatments, homeowners can find several shades with UV protection, and our team at Abbey Carpet of Maui is here to help you sort through the different models and discover which would suit your household needs best.

Roller Shades

Just because they’re simple and streamlined in design doesn’t mean modern roller shades aren’t an excellent option for shades with UV protection. Designer Solar Shades, with over 130 different fabric choices, not only block UV from entering your home but are also available in a range of opacities that allow homeowners to preserve the view out and permit safe, filtered light in.

Sheer Shades

Using sheer materials and opaque fabrics, sheer shades by Hunter Douglas effectively filter light to create a range of interior illumination and act as shades with UV protection. The sheer materials can filter sunlight, removing UV, while the opaque vanes block it completely, offering protection, light control, and room-darkening abilities. Hunter Douglas boasts sheer shades with horizontal (Pirouette® Sheer Shades) and vertical (Luminette® Sheer Panels) applications to suit any kind of window.

Motorized Shades

Motorization can transform ordinary window coverings into shades with UV protection by optimizing the efficiency and consistency of use. After all, even shades with built-in UV protections can’t safeguard your home if they’re not used properly and regularly. PowerView® Automation from Hunter Douglas has the option for automated custom scenes to keep window shades in every part of your home on schedule and operate optimally to block UV throughout the day. PowerView® is available in many roller shades, sheer shades, shutters, cellular shades, woven shades, blinds, drapery, and Roman shades.

Shutters

The impenetrable louvers on plantation-style shutters excel at blocking UV, as sunlight cannot pass through their hard materials whatsoever. Additionally, advancements in vinyl and other faux-wood composites used in shutters have created man-made materials with additional benefits. For example, Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are both moisture and UV resistant, so they won’t wear down or be destroyed by the sunlight they are protecting your home from year after year.
