3 Windows Shades To Control Light, Glare, & Heat

Shades control light glare heat

Window shades are a great choice when you need to keep your interior and outdoor living spaces cool and comfortable. Balconies, sun decks, patios, sunrooms, westward-facing windows, and other sunny locations can be extremely hot during certain times of the day. With the right window shades, you can preserve the view or add privacy while protecting the space from glare, heat, and harmful UV rays. As Orlando's custom window treatment expert, the team at Orlando Shutters and Blinds Inc suggests the following three window shades that are perfect for controlling natural light, glare, and heat.

Honeycomb Shades

Honeycomb shades are made for maximum light filtering and solar protection for the interior of windows. Among the best brands, designer honeycomb shades can be infinitely customizable. Honeycomb shades are available with distinct cell sizes that form a barrier and restrict the outside air to keep your home warmer during the winter and cooler during the summer. The insulating qualities of these window shades will maximize your home's energy efficiency.

Interior Roller Shades & Dual Shades

Interior roller shades are available in a huge variety of styles, fabrics, colors, and textures. Of those that help to control natural light, glare, and overheating of specific areas, you'll get the maximum light filtering solution while keeping the view. Solar shades, or sun shades, come in a variety of opacities. They're made of solar screen mesh fabrics woven with technical openness characteristics.

Dual shades offer two light management functions in a single window shade. These horizontally banded interior roller shades offer a designer look for any home. They're modern and offer the simple functionality of letting you choose the amount of privacy and light you want. Lower the banded fabric strips to create full privacy and light control, raise the thicker fabric bands to show the sheer fabric and create an alternating banded look, or raise the dual shades completely to create maximum views through the windows.

Exterior Motorized Shades & Solar Screen Shades

Exterior roller shades are available with motorized operating systems. They're an ideal motorized shade that offers solar screen protection for outdoor living areas, patios, front porches, balconies, pergolas, boat houses, or anywhere else with a wider opening or where you need to cut out the glare, add some shade, and keep the beautiful views.
