Top Summer Window Treatments

With the days getting warmer and the sun staying out longer, it is clear that summer is well on its way to the great state of Florida. While we may not be breaking out the swimsuits and sparklers just yet, now is a great time to start upgrading your window treatments. This ensures that you have plenty of time to prepare your home for the summer ahead. Since Florida is notorious for its intense heat and sunshine, investing in window treatments that protect against the elements while adding style to your home is an excellent idea.  After all, no one wants that intense Florida sun heating up their home and increasing their energy bills. That is why we are here to discuss our top summer window treatments for homes, including Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades, Designer Screen Shades, and Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters.

Summer window treatments near Cape Coral, Florida (FL), including UV-resistant shades from Hunter Douglas.

Duette® Honeycomb Shades

With an innovative design and chic styles, Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades are easily one of our top summer window treatments for homes. Duette® Honeycomb Shades not only elevate your home’s current styles with a variety of modern colors, but they also keep your home insulated all year long. This is thanks to the specially engineered honeycomb construction of the shade that traps air within its distinct pockets. This creates extra insulation at each window that can help lower your energy consumption and energy bills while keeping your home comfortable even on the brightest, hottest Florida days. Available in multiple shapes and colors, Duette® Honeycomb Shades truly elevate your home’s style. If you are in need of some extra shade, then The LightLock™ system works to absorb or deflect nearly all incoming light, making it perfect for bedrooms, media rooms, and more.

Designer Screen Shades

In addition to heat, intense UV rays can pose a problem for our homes. We would never let our skin roast in the sunshine constantly for fear of damage, so why would we expose the interiors of our home to the same risk? That is why Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shades are another one of our top summer window treatments for homes. These custom Hunter Douglas shades are specially created to curb aggressive UV rays to protect your furniture and valuables from damage. They also minimize light gaps for the utmost privacy, making them perfect for any room in your home. Designer Screen Shades are available in varying levels of opacity—giving you precise control over how much light comes through.

Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters

Finally, another one of our top summer window treatments are Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters. Painted with a durable UV and moisture-resistant compound, these shutters are capable of withstanding intense Florida heat, sunshine, humidity, and classic summer storms.
