Achieving UV Protection with Shades for Homes
Even though the sun ranges in its intensity throughout the year, UV protection is always a factor that you should consider when finding the right window treatments for your home. In fact, constant sun exposure can damage your home’s flooring, furniture, artwork, upholstery, and more. Fortunately, this doesn’t mean that you have to board up your windows and live in total darkness! In fact, Hunter Douglas offers a window treatment that lets you enjoy natural lighting and your outdoor views without worrying about sun damage. Read on to learn all about achieving UV protection with shades.
Achieving a Gorgeous Design
While achieving UV protection with shades is important, so is finding a shade that works with your home’s style. That is why we love recommending Pirouette® Window Shadings for homes looking for a shade that offers aesthetic and functional benefits. Whether you live in a trendy penthouse or a quaint cottage, these window treatments can be customized to easily fit in with any style. You can also choose from semi-opaque and room-darkening fabric options to achieve different levels of lighting, shade, and privacy in each room. If you love the look of luxury at your windows, then our Hunter Douglas Alustra® Collection is for you! Thoughtfully created, his collection boasts gorgeous fabrics, colors, textures, and hardware for you to choose from. This allows you to enjoy a little bit of luxury at each window in your home.
Achieving Easy Operation
In addition to achieving UV protection with shades, you can also achieve easy operation. After all, what good is a window treatment if you can’t open and close it with ease? Featuring the Invisi-Lift™ system, our Hunter Douglas Pirouette® Window Shadings can be adjusted via cordless operation. This not only takes away the annoyance of finicky cords, but it is also a safe option for homes with small children or pets. No more worrying about trips, tangles, or feeling like a puppeteer when you want to achieve some sun or shade!
Achieving UV Protection
And now, the moment you have been waiting for! Achieving UV protection with shades is easy when it comes to Pirouette® Window Shadings. In fact, Pirouette® Window Shadings can block up to 81 percent of harmful UV when opened and 99 percent when closed. This means that your home can enjoy natural lighting without any of the harmful long-term damage. Whether you place these shades in a bright sunroom or a bedroom that sees a lot of sunshine, you will love enjoying natural lighting and gorgeous views with an added peace of mind.
