Window Treatment Placement Strategies For Any Space
You’ve seen articles covering the best window treatments for summer and the best styles for winter. But who is replacing their window treatments every season. A homeowner might swap out curtains and drapes here and there, but for the base layer of every window treatment design, you want a window treatment that will provide comfort all year round.
At Imperial Blind & Shutter, we recommend dressing the unique window you have by precisely selecting options that provide functional benefits during every season. If you’re on the market for a window treatment upgrade, choose your blind, shade, or shutter based on the window and its placement on the home in relation to the sun.
- South-facing windows face the sun all day and are the warmest and the most bright
- North-facing windows are darker and receive the least heat.
- East-facing windows receive morning light and a more even heat.
- West-facing windows get hot afternoon light and heat.
Duette® Cellular Shades Reduce Energy Transfer
When it comes to high comfort, Duette® Cellular Shades by Hunter Douglas are a powerhouse in the window treatment industry. Featuring a honeycomb construction, these shades prevent inside air from seeping out and outside air from creeping in. As a result, your home will remain comfortable for south- and west-facing windows when the sun is at its peak. Another perk? The luxurious fabrics of Duette® gently filter bright UV rays and maximize the light during those shorter days, making them excellent for south-facing and north-facing windows alike. No matter the season, your home will be filled with soft, natural lighting throughout the year.
As Patio Door Window Treatments
If your Florida home has sliding glass or French doors, we highly recommend these as patio door window treatments. This is because larger windows often result in higher energy gain or loss if not insulated.
Designer Solar Shades
As all Floridians know, the Sunshine State lives up to its name quite well. Even when winter arrives, your home’s interiors are still at risk for UV damage if your windows aren’t properly covered. If you want a window treatment that protects against heat gain, prevents UV damage, and maximizes softer light, then Designer Solar Shades are here to deliver. Specially crafted to curb damaging UV rays and available in several fabric opacities, these shades preserve your view while protecting your interiors and keeping your home cool. Complete with a Beaded Loop Control, these shades move smoothly to provide you with views, shade, or privacy when needed.
