Best Summer Window Treatments for Homes

Pugerudes • Jul 24, 2020

It’s easy for the residents of Washington to get caught off guard when summer rolls around. After months of consistently gray and wet weather, the sun finally pokes through and daylight extends late into the night. Many homes don’t have air conditioning, let alone the right window treatments for summer weather. By choosing custom summer window treatments from Hunter Douglas, you can keep your home cool for comfort all year long.

Custom wooden blinds blocking out the summer sun

Luminette® Privacy Sheers


Many Northwest homes feature huge windows that offer sweeping mountain views. And while these windows are great for bringing the beauty of nature indoors, they can also cause your home to overheat during the long and bright days of the summer. The Luminette® Privacy Sheers collection of window shadings is ideal for enjoying your beautiful views while keeping UV rays and heat at bay. In addition to offering the same functionality as high-quality vertical blinds, these shadings add layers of sheer fabric to filter sunlight. This means you get to take in your beautiful views while getting relief from the sun along with daytime privacy. Not to mention, the way these shades interact with natural light will create a spectacular environment to spend time.

 

EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds

 

Installing elegant shades to your windows is a great way to get beautiful style and light control in your home, but there are also places in your home where hard window treatments will be best, such as bathrooms and kitchens. EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds are perfect for these places in your home since the surface of the vinyl slats doesn’t trap dirt or dust. Plus, these blinds are designed to beat the heat and will last a long time even in humid environments.

 

Duette® Honeycomb Shades

 

When you apply these custom energy-efficient shades to your home windows, you’ll experience the benefits far past the summer. Thanks to the insulating hexagonal design, these cellular shades are able to regulate the temperature of your home without you excessively relying on your internal climate controls. Duette® Honeycomb Shades can fit into your sliding glass doors, arched windows, and even your skylights, so you can insulate any window in your home with these shades. But beyond the energy-saving qualities of these shades, you can also keep your room dark at night during the extended daylight hours of the summer with the available LightLock™ feature.


Duolite®

 

This brilliant system allows you to always be ready for changing light. The independent blackout liner will come in handy at night when you need to darken your room during the longest days of the year. It also allows you to enjoy a light-filtering shade on the front end as well for multiple levels of light on the same window.
