Making the Most of Natural Light During Short Winter Days

When winter dwindles our daylight hours, you don’t have to say goodbye to natural sunlight in your Florida home. Instead, switch to some light-loving window treatments that help to maximize the amount of natural light in your space, even on the shortest of winter days.

5 Window Treatments to Maximize Natural Light During Winter

Here are five of our favorite Hunter Douglas window treatments that help maximize natural light during the winter season:

Sheer Shades

Because of the delightfully transparent textiles, sheer shades are excellent for letting in ample natural sunlight in the winter. While visible light is coming through, harmful elements, like UV rays, are being filtered out for window treatments that are both light-loving and protective.

Hunter Douglas sheer shades include:

  • Luminette® Sheer Panels.
  • Pirouette® Sheer Shades.
  • Silhouette® Sheer Shades.

Custom Blinds

Few light-loving window treatments offer the precision of custom blinds when it comes to letting in natural sunlight in a controlled manner. Thanks to their tilting vanes, custom blinds can let in natural light and provide airflow while blocking the view and deflecting direct rays for softer interior light and protected home interiors.

For the elevated look of Miami homes, you’ll love the sophisticated look of Hunter Douglas wood blinds, such as:

  • Parkland® Wood Blinds.
  • EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds.

Solar Shades

These roller shades help make the most of natural light year-round. The screen materials filter out UV rays but preserve your view, so you can expect lots of natural sunlight without the associated sun damage and home interiors that feel warm, welcoming, and open.

In the 130 textile options, you’ll find five fabric opacities for Designer Solar Shades, including the exclusive Hunter Douglas GreenScreen® Sea-Tex™ collection crafted from upcycled coastal and marine plastics.

Cellular Shades

Known as energy-efficient shades, cellular shades use internal air pockets to create an insulating layer that blocks unwanted energy transfer. The internal honeycomb-like cell design makes them excellent insulators and great at absorbing sound for a more peaceful space.

Duette® Cellular Shades are available with the exclusive ClearView® sheers that instill cellular shades with the light-loving features of sheer shades.

Motorized Window Treatments

Motorized solutions can take your shades to the next level of efficiency. Hunter Douglas has the award-winning PowerView® Automation, which lets you synchronize the opening and closing of your home’s window treatments to the current daylight hours to maximize sun exposure during winter.

PowerView® Automation is compatible with several window treatments, including:

  •  Duette® Cellular Shades.
  • Designer Solar Shades.
  • EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds.
  • Silhouette® Sheer Shades.
