As the sun heats up our homes and brightens our lives, there are many factors to consider when choosing sunscreen shades.

Everyone loves when summer arrives in Massachusetts and Hartford, Connecticut. However, the sunlight produces lots of heat inside your home. Temperature control is a top concern for homeowners. Privacy is also a factor. Whether you have privacy in the backyard or your front windows are exposed to the street, you’ll want to feel safe in your home. Hunter Douglas shades provide light control, help regulate temperatures, and provide lots of privacy options.
If the light interrupts your sleep, consider room darkening or blackout shade fabric options. Blackout shades are ideal for main bedrooms, guest bedrooms, living rooms and media rooms. Room darkening or blackout blinds are great for covering sunroom windows too. You can reduce glare and keep temperatures cool. Moreover, you can also create ambience, increase comfort, and add style with sunscreen shades.
