Hunter Douglas Sheer Shades
Ever since the electricity made it possible for us to continue our working well into the evening, it can sometimes feel like our days have only been getting longer. And while this may have done wonders for our productivity, it has done the opposite for our mental and physical health. Artificial light has been linked to sleep problems, eye strain, and headaches-all of which can make the benefits seem like they may not be worth the issues.
That being said, cutting back on artificial light in your home can be tough. Luckily, we have a unique solution that can help you harness the natural light that is already coming into your home and allow you to cut back on the artificial light. Keep reading to the let the team at Gotcha Covered Blind and Decorating Center tell you about the many benefits of Hunter Douglas sheer shades for homes near the Raleigh/Triangle area, NC.
What are sheer shades?
Hunter Douglas sheer shades are essentially an updated take on sheers-an innovation on the thin curtains or draperies that would filter light rather than blocking it, as many heavier window coverings tend to do. These traditional sheers, while beautiful, were fairly limited in their capabilities for light control and privacy, which have led Hunter Douglas to expand on that original design and combine light diffusing sheer fabrics with the more versatile light control mechanics of a window blind. The result is Hunter Douglas sheer shades: a unique window fashion made by encasing a set of moving fabric vanes between panels of sheer, light diffusing fabric that catch natural light coming through your windows and soften it, providing your space with gentle illumination.
What are my options for sheer shades?
Hunter Douglas has a sheer window shading for every need. The Silhouette® collection showcases what makes their sheer shadings incredible, bringing you two panels of light diffusing fabric with the set of fabric vanes in the middle, bringing you the best of both light diffusion and light control. To increase your view through your window, the Pirouette® collection has a single light diffusing panel, keeping your windows uncluttered and letting your enjoy your view. Finally, the Luminette® collection brings you the same features you’ve come to expect from Hunter Douglas sheer shades, but in a vertical orientation, so you can find a sheer shade for your largest windows and sliding glass doors.
How do I operate my sheer shades?
All Hunter Douglas sheer shades are easy enough to operate on their own with wands, cords, chains, or simple push up/pull down models, but if you want an operating system that is as advanced and modern as your window coverings, all Hunter Douglas sheer shades can be upgraded through the PowerView® motorization system for even more added convenience. Bringing natural light into your home has never been easier than it is now with motorized sheer shadings.
