The Best UV-Blocking Shades

When it comes to summer, there are many things that we look forward to as we step out of the chilly winter evenings and rainy spring mornings. Blue skies, warm weather, beach days, and hours spent by the pool are just a few things we love about summer. However, what goes up must come down. In addition to its benefits, summer also brings with it a few downsides, like hot homes, bright light streaming in throughout the day, and damaging UV rays. Fortunately, at Joann’s Interiors, we offer a line of custom Hunter Douglas window treatments made to transform harsh light into a gorgeous glow - our selection of innovative sheer shadings!

Silhouette® Window Shadings

There is a reason that Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Window Shadings are known as the leader in light transformation. With easily-adjustable vanes, these window shadings allow you to achieve your perfect levels of light and shade while gently filtering out harsh sunlight. The sheer fabric panels will provide a stunning glow throughout your home instead of harsh glare and blindingly bright light. Another perk of these custom shadings is that you can enjoy natural sunlight and privacy at the same time. This is thanks to the vanes that close tight to obscure the outside world from looking into your home without taking away your right to some summer sun.

Of course, these shades have a few more functional benefits up their sleeve! Depending on which fabric option you choose, Silhouette® Window Shadings can filter up to 88 percent of the sun’s damaging UV rays. This will not only soften the light streaming through your window, but also help protect your flooring, furniture, and artwork from sun damage. These are just a few reasons why Silhouette® Window Shadings are one of the best UV-blocking shades or homes.

Designer Screen Shades

If you have patios, sunrooms, or sliding glass doors, then you will love adding Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shades or Solar Shades to the mix. Allowing you to keep your views to the outdoors while curbing harsh UV rays, these shades make an excellent addition to your windows this summer. Did you know that Designer Screen Shades boast one of the most robust fabric selections in the industry? That means that your shades will look gorgeous even when facing the hottest, brightest of days. Blocking between 86 percent and 99 percent of the UV rays, Designer Screen Shades are one of the best UV-blocking shades for homes.

In addition to providing UV protection, Designer Screen and Solar Shades boast a wide variety of opacity options to provide you with your ideal levels of shade, sun, and privacy. Since the fabrics are organized by an openness factor, or the weave density of the fabrics, you can choose the exact opacity that fits your home’s visibility, privacy, glare, and UV-blocking needs.
