Survive The Summer with Curtains Over Cellular Window Shades

After the cold, biting winters, summers are a welcome treat. The iced teas, the barbeque get-togethers, the family outings are an escape for the body, mind, and soul. But with summers also come the scorching heat and the harsh harmful UV rays. While it is easy to use sunblock to protect from the sun, it is even more convenient to be in an environment that completely blocks the heat and provides you with a cooler ambiance. The right window treatment in your home ensures you have a safer and a peaceful summer. So here are 6 unique ways to survive this summer with our heat-blocking window treatments.

Curtains Over Cellular Window Shades

Cellular shades are a growing and popular option when it comes to insulating your home from the biting cold in winters. But did you know they are a perfect solution to the scorching heat in summers too? They trap the heat in their large honeycomb channels at the window without allowing it to enter a room, thus insulating your room from the weather outside. A perfect combination of functionality and aesthetic appeal, cellular shades are a notch higher when it comes to offering you the basic features of privacy and light control. With options of light filtering or 100% blackout, these shades are an investment you would like to make this season.

The unique honeycomb pattern of the Cellular Shades makes them highly energy efficient and the best sound absorbing product. What’s more, you can control the amount of light filtering in with the various options of fabrics available like sheer, light filtering, room darkening, and blackout. Choose from various lift types to ensure convenient operation and the safety of your family (go cordless for no hazardous cords!).

Layering Cellular Shades adds an extra dimension to your room. We recommend using light sheer drapery to create a soft and supple look that breaks the monotonous and hard effect created by a Cellular Shade. Sheer curtains in mellow hues will not only give you a perfect harmonious glow but also ensure they become the focal point of any room. A layer of curtains over cellular window shades when mounted inside will also ensure completely blocking out any light filtering in from the sides.
