Your Complete Guide to Porch Shades
If you’re lucky enough to have an enclosed porch, it’s wise to make the most of it. Yet some homeowners don’t use theirs year-round because their porches aren’t comfortable enough. However, the team at E.D.’s paint & decorating has a solution to solve that issue.
E.D.’s Paint & Decorating retails custom window treatments near Lexington, SC, and our design team makes enclosed porches more functional and beautiful. We also install porch sun shades for our clients, who enjoy a range of benefits from their attractive and functional Hunter Douglas window treatments.
What Are the Benefits of Porch Shades?
Enclosed porches are indoor/outdoor spaces where you can enjoy all four seasons without stepping outside. They’re extra living spaces and perfect for entertaining. However, temperature fluctuations and too-bright sunlight make enclosed porches less comfortable.
Shades for a porch give you these perks:
- Light and Privacy Control: Sunlight streaming into an enclosed porch can create excessive glare and make the area too warm. Porch sun shades filter light and protect privacy, yet keep that desirable, bright, and airy feel. You can also have full coverage or adjustable lighting throughout the day.
- Energy Efficiency: By controlling light and providing insulation, shades for a porch maintain a consistent temperature that lowers energy costs. That’s especially useful in spring and summer since it prevents heat from building up inside enclosed porches. Choosing materials with heat-reflective properties can further improve energy efficiency.
- Protects Furniture and Flooring: Prolonged sunlight exposure can cause patio furniture and décor to fade over time. Porch sun shades can reduce UV damage, so you won’t need to replace patio furniture, flooring, and accessories as often.
For the best results, the fabric or material used for porch shades should offer durability, light filtration, and easy maintenance. Hunter Douglas customizes porch shades with those features in mind.
Hunter Douglas Porch Sun Shades
Our window treatment store near Lexington, SC, features these custom porch shades.
Designer Solar Shades
Designed to filter harsh UV rays, Hunter Douglas Designer Solar Shades preserve outdoor views while protecting interiors and belongings. Choose from various fabrics and five opacities that control sun and glare. These shades feature sustainable fabrics from the GreenScreen® Sea-Tex™ fabric collection, made from recovered coastal and marine plastic.
Duette® Cellular Shades
With specially engineered cellular construction, these luxury honeycomb shades trap air in pockets for exceptional energy efficiency. Hunter Douglas designs them with 3/8", 3/4", or 1- 1/4" pleat sizes, various heights and widths, and many upgrades, including:
- Duolite® combines light filtering and room-darkening fabrics into a single shade.
- LightLock™ has a side channel design that absorbs or deflects almost all incoming light.
- Duette® Architella® offers a honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb design for added energy efficiency.
Alustra® Woven Textures® Roller Shades
Featuring globally sourced fabrics and organic appeal, Alustra® Woven Textures® Roller Shades are a natural choice for enclosed porches. This woven wood shade functions like a roller or solar shade and features high-end natural materials. Ask about the Dual Roller design, which has a light-filtering or room-darkening rear shade.
