Adding Roller Shades to Homes
There are many benefits to adding new shades to your home. Added light control, custom shade, and premium designs are all part of what makes shopping for window treatments fun. However, it can get overwhelming sifting through all of the options out there! That is why we are here to help you understand the benefits of adding roller shades to homes, including multiple style options, UV protection, and varying opacities. Read on to discover the ins and outs of these custom Hunter Douglas window treatments to see if they are a match for your home.
Defining the Roller Shade
Before we get to the benefits of adding roller shades to homes, it is always helpful to understand the shade itself. After all, what exactly is a roller shade? Not exactly one for mystery, roller shades get their name due to their operation. When you want to open or close these shades, they roll easily and smoothly on a track to give you your ideal levels of shade and sun. Hence the name “roller shade.” Plus, with a cordless design, these shades make achieving said ideal levels of light and shade a breeze. No more feeling like a puppeteer with corded window treatments!
Choosing Hunter Douglas
Onto the good stuff! One of the benefits of adding roller shades to homes is that you get to select from our collection of Hunter Douglas roller shades. Unlike roller shades from department stores, Hunter Douglas roller shades promise pristine quality, styles, and designs. That is why Hunter Douglas offers four quality roller shades that boast a spectrum of light control, UV protection, fabric choices, and more. No matter which roller shade you choose, you can rest easy knowing that some of the best roller shades on the market are hanging on your windows.
Choosing a Roller Shade
As mentioned before, one of the many benefits of adding roller shades to homes is their wide variety of options. While this may seem intimidating at first, we have broken down each option into their main benefits. This includes our Hunter Douglas Sonnette™ Cellular Roller Shades, Designer Roller Shades, Designer Screen Shades, and The Alustra® Collection of Roller Shades.
- Sonnette™ Cellular Roller Shades add extra insulation at your windows thanks to their distinct air pockets. This not only helps lower your energy bills, but it also evenly disperses light throughout any room.
- Designer Roller Shades are simple yet elegant, offering hundreds of fabric options for you to choose from that vary in opacity, color, texture, and pattern.
- Designer Screen Shades are excellent for sunrooms, patios, and other outdoor spaces thanks to their UV protection and varying opacity levels that help filter or block the sun.
- The Alustra® Collection of Roller Shades features fabrics carefully curated to create a gorgeous look at each window, making them perfect for homes that want a luxurious look and feel.
