Prep Your Sunroom for Texas Summers With Solar Shades
Texas summers announce themselves with full force, turning sunrooms into hotboxes that often become intolerable for several months. However, with the right window treatments, sunrooms stay cool, comfortable, and usable year-round.
Our Window Magic Blinds & Drapery team members enjoy helping Houston, TX, homeowners make the most of their gorgeous sunrooms with custom solar shades, an investment that really pays off in the long term.
Why Choose Custom Solar Shades for Your Sunroom
A sunroom is only as good as the time you actually spend in it. Those floor-to-ceiling glass windows look appealing, but without proper insulation, they turn into a heat trap. Solar shades block heat gain without compromising the view, which is just what these spaces demand.
This style of window coverings comprises specialized mesh fabrics, typically a blend of synthetic materials like polyester and PVC. They filter brightness but still allow an outward view. That way, you keep the bright, airy atmosphere that makes a sunroom worth having, minus the punishing glare that drives you back inside.
What Are Hunter Douglas Designer Solar Shades for Windows?
Hunter Douglas Designer Solar Shades are a type of roller shade and come in a range of fabrics that shield interiors and belongings from fading and discoloration. UV rays can penetrate glass even on cloudy days, but these shades block most of it, shielding furniture, flooring, and sentimental decor like photos or vintage armchairs.
Additionally, there are five fabric opacities to choose from, letting you control exactly how much light filters through while maintaining outward visibility during the day. The fabrics also protect your privacy, especially important for sunrooms that face your neighbors.
And since custom solar shades for windows cut solar heat gain significantly, they also ease the load on your HVAC system.
Explore the Various Customization Options for Solar Shades
With the help of our Window Magic Blinds & Drapery team, you can custom-order Hunter Douglas Designer Solar Shades to a sunroom window’s specific dimensions, style, and light needs.
You may also enhance these styles with the Duolite® system, which pairs two shades on a single headrail and offers a room-darkening option for the evening. These window shades can also fit bay and corner windows.
