Keep Your Drapery Looking Beautiful by Protecting Them from Sun Damage
Custom draperies, flooring, wall coverings, and furniture are all important elements of the interior design of your home. Yet, many people don’t realize how much the sun can damage your interior pieces and significantly reduce their beauty and longevity. Take a close look at your drapes, for example, or furniture that is arranged in such a way that it receives direct sunlight through your windows. Over time, the radiation from the sun dulls the colors that you worked so hard to select, significantly impacting the overall look of your room. Damage from the sun cannot be undone. As more time passes, your drapery, furniture, and other items will need to be replaced. As you already know, this can be costly and challenging.
To protect the investment you’ve made in items like drapery and furniture, look for window treatments that truly block the sun’s dangerous UV rays. Window film often does not offer enough protection, and not just any window treatment will do. When style is just as important as protection, look to high quality window treatment products from Hunter Douglas.
Silhouette Window Shades
Alustra Silhouette window shadings feature optimal UV protection, blocking 95% to 99% of the sun’s dangerous rays. Available in 36 different material and color options, Silhouette shades feature S-shaped vanes designed with two sheer fabric layers that allow you to maintain your view while still protecting your drapes, furniture and other interior design elements from the sun. People love the flexibility and beauty of Silhouette shades.
Pirouette Window Shades
Another popular option for UV protection is the Hunter Douglas selection of Pirouette window shadings. A classic shade, this window treatment choice features uniquely designed and soft horizontal fabric vanes that can be easily maneuvered to control light and sun. Pirouette shades feature the exclusive Hunter Douglas Invisi-Lift system and additional safety features.
More Than Just UV Protection
The benefits of Hunter Douglas window shades go beyond protection from the sun’s damaging rays. Silhouette and Pirouette shades can be custom cut for uniquely shaped windows, and you can add motorization systems to enjoy the convenience of automation. You’ll see your energy bill decrease with these window shades as well, which are known to reduce the amount of heat and cooling energy that is lost through your windows.
