Best Blackout Curtains for Handling Harsh Sun

Sunlight is a beautiful thing to allow into any home. Its golden rays provide tons of comfortable warmth and gorgeous natural light. Of course, there can certainly be too much of a good thing. A room filled with natural sunlight can quickly become swelteringly hot and cast a glare on screens to the point where you can’t even see what's on the TV. Then there’s the wear and tear that constant UV exposure from sunlight wrecks on your furniture and paint, so while sunlight in your home can be a good thing, having control over how much enters your home is paramount for enjoying it.

Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades blocking light in a room near St. Pete Beach, FL

Thankfully, there are many solutions available that will allow you to take control of the sunlight entering your home. Here at Joann's Interiors, we have both the expertise and inventory that will enable you to have the exact amount of light you want in your home. Blackout curtains, in various forms from Hunter Douglas, provide exceptional control alongside modern designs and features.

Duette® LightLock®

To simultaneously control light and the heat it brings, the Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades are a perfect option. This shade’s honeycomb construction traps air inside cells, creating a layer of insulating air against the window. As to their light-blocking abilities, these shades can take advantage of the Hunter Douglas LightLock® blackout system. This innovative design has unique, U-shaped side channels that allow the shade to fit into the window's frame. This works to absorb, deflect, or block incoming light, making these shades a perfect option to control the light in your home.

Silhouette® and Vignette® Duolite®

If you are looking for other styles of window treatments that still offer exceptional light control and blackout capabilities, look no further than any options available with the Duolite® feature. This feature from Hunter Douglas builds two different fabrics into one shade. Combining a light-filtering fabric shade and a room-darkening opaque liner in a single window treatment gives anyone the precise light control they need.

Vignette® Roman Shades are a fantastic option for those looking for an excellent combination of visual interest and functionality. With the Duolite® system, these shades will make the perfect blackout curtains and ensure that you can get the sleep you need or let you see what is on your TV any time of day. If you would rather have more light filtration in addition to blackout abilities, the Silhouette® Sheer Shades are the best option. These elegant shades can not only diffuse sunlight into a warm and romantic glow; the second room-darkening roller shade will ensure you can still block all the light you need.

PowerView® Automation

While automating your window treatments won't necessarily make them block light any better, it will still give you an even greater degree of control over the light in your home. Adding PowerView® Automation to any window treatment will allow you to automatically and remotely control your shades. Curtains can automatically lower and blackout a room when it is time to go to bed, or you can remotely lower them whenever you need to block light from any part of your home.
