Best Light-Diffusing Window Treatments
While we may have a summer storm clouding up our days every so often, Florida truly is the land of the sun. After all, we are called the Sunshine State! A sunny beach or pool day is wonderful, but too much sun can get quite tumultuous, especially when it comes to our homes. Without proper window treatments, the harsh Florida sun can heat up your home, damage your interiors over time, and cause glare everywhere you look. Fortunately, Hunter Douglas carries a wide range of window treatments that help block UV rays and transform harsh sunlight into a gorgeous glow at your windows. Read on to discover the best light-diffusing window treatments below, including Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Window Shadings.
Silhouette® Window Shadings
Chic, lightweight, and packing a powerful punch, Silhouette® Window Shadings are a stunning addition to your Florida home if you want your home to be filled with soft lighting all day long. These custom Hunter Douglas shadings feature soft, adjustable S-shaped vanes that “float” between two sheer fabrics for a unique look that works hard to boot. In fact, this innovative design lets soft sunlight filter through your windows while also obscuring the outside world's view into your space. This allows you to enjoy the outside world while enjoying daytime privacy. Additionally, Silhouette® Window Shadings filter out brightness, glare, and UV rays to protect your home’s interiors from fading over time. Depending on your fabric choices, Silhouette® Window Shadings can filter up to 88 percent of the sun’s harmful rays. With so many benefits, it is easy to see why these shades are one of the best light-diffusing window treatments.
Pirouette® Window Shadings
For our Floridians who want clean lines and a straightforward, easy design when it comes to their window treatments, Pirouette® Window Shadings are for you. A modern alternative to traditional fabric shades, these shadings feature softly contoured vanes that are attached to a single sheer backing for ultimate light control. Plus, these shades are incredibly easy to use, making them perfect for those who do not want to feel like a puppeteer when it comes to achieving light or shade. Since these shadings can disappear completely into the headrail, they also provide a crisp look at each window. Are you planning on putting these shadings in a sunny spot in your home? Fantastic! Pirouette® Window Shadings block up to 81% of harmful UV rays with the vanes open and 99% with vanes closed. No matter where you place them, you will easily see why Pirouette® Window Shadings are one of the best light-diffusing window treatments.
Luminette® Privacy Sheers
Does your Florida home feature windows that are wider than they are tall? Then finding the best light-filtering window treatments begins and ends with Hunter Douglas Luminette® Privacy Sheers. These shadings create a softly filtered glow throughout your home thanks to the sheer fabric and vertical vanes attached to the back of the sheer. Additionally, Luminette® Privacy Sheers are incredibly easy to operate and can rotate up to 180°, giving you precise light control and privacy throughout the day. These custom Hunter Douglas sheers are excellent for wide expanses of glass, sliding doors, and other vertical applications in your home.
