Choosing the Right Window Treatments for Florida's Sunlight
At Joann’s Interiors, we’re no strangers to the harsh year-round sunlight in the sunny state of Florida. While this abundant sunlight brings warmth and vibrancy to our homes, it can also be a double-edged sword, as it comes with the challenge of managing and blocking out the intense sunlight.
When choosing the right window treatments for Florida's sunshine, there are several factors to consider. As a team, we aim to help you manage and block out Florida's intense sunlight by finding the perfect UV-protective window treatments from Hunter Douglas.
Understanding Florida Sun
The same sunlight that brightens our days can pose challenges for our home interiors. Here's why managing sunlight is crucial:
- Excessive Heat: Florida's sunshine can bring scorching temperatures into your home, causing discomfort and increasing cooling costs.
- Fading and UV Damage: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can lead to the fading of furniture, flooring, and other interior elements. It can also damage your skin and pose health risks.
- Glare: Sunlight can create glare on screens, making it challenging to watch TV or work on a computer.
Choosing the Right Hunter Douglas Window Treatments

- UV Protection: Look for window treatments that offer UV protection. Hunter Douglas products, for example, are designed to block harmful UV rays, safeguarding your interior furnishings and health. These treatments protect against UV damage while allowing natural light to filter through.
- Light Control: Opt for window treatments that offer various levels of light control. Hunter Douglas offers a wide range of options, from sheer to blackout shades, allowing you to adjust the amount of sunlight entering your space.
- Energy Efficiency: Select energy-efficient window treatments. Florida's hot climate demands treatments that can help regulate indoor temperatures, reducing the need for excessive air conditioning. This can save you money on energy bills.
- Durability: Given the constant exposure to sunlight, it's essential to choose window treatments that are built to last. Hunter Douglas products are known for their durability and high-quality materials.
