Window Treatments that Offer Privacy
There is a time to shine on the stage, and there is a time were retreating into our private worlds is a must. For example, when it is our birthday, we want all eyes on us and attention. It’s the least we deserve for such a special day! However, as we shower to get ready for our birthday dinner or try on outfits for the fun night ahead, we do not want all eyes on us. The same can be said for when we come home and get ready for bed. Socializing is an important part of being a human being, relishing privacy. That is why we are excited to discuss window treatments that offer privacy. Whether you want more privacy in your bedroom or throughout your home, we have a style for every homeowner. Read on to learn more about window treatments that offer privacy, including shades that feature the Hunter Douglas Duolite® system.
What is Duolite®?
They say that it is important to look before you leap, and we cannot agree more! That is why we are here to discuss the “what” and “how” behind window treatments that offer privacy via Duolite®. The Hunter Douglas Duolite® system provides an exact amount of lighting, shade, and privacy all in one shade of your choosing. How is this possible? This system combines two fabrics–one light filtering and one room darkening fabric–into a single shade for ultimate control. This design allows you to achieve privacy, light control, and the perfect amount of shade throughout the day without any hassle.
What Are Your Options?
That is why you have a variety of options when it comes to window treatments that offer privacy via Duolite®, including:
- Roller Shades: Designer Roller Duolite® Shades feature a two-in-one style that combines a light-filtering sheer and a room-darkening opaque line to softly filter light and provide privacy throughout the day and night.
- Roman Shade Options: For visual interest, consider our Vignette® Duolite system. These Roman shade features boast a single roller with a sheer or light filtering fabric on the front and an opaque shade on the back for the perfect amount of light control, shade, and privacy each time.
- Cellular Shade Options: If you want to lower your home’s energy usage while enjoying privacy, then you will love our Duette® Duolite. This shade offers energy efficiency and light-filtering capabilities in one chic, simple shade.
- Timeless Shade Options: Those who want a shade that will never go out of style can enjoy soft lighting and privacy with Silhouette® Duolite Shadings. In addition to diffusing sunlight, these custom shades offer views to the outside world while blocking anyone from looking inward.
