Keeping Your Home Cool in the Summer with Cooling Shades

Summer on the east coast is nothing to joke about. Hot and humid days can drag on as you dream about an afternoon in the pool or beach. Don’t let your home fall victim to the weather; keep your home nice and cool this summer with the help of cooling shades and window treatments.

Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades near Paoli, Pennsylvania (PA)

At Window Concepts, we carry Hunter Douglas window coverings suited to fit your home’s every need—including maintaining an even temperature in your home throughout the year. That’s why we carry honeycomb cellular shades, shutters, and motorized blinds to keep your home temperate and looking great.

Cooling Shades

As much as 30% of your home’s heating and cooling costs escape through your windows. Because they do not have as much insulation as walls, windows and doors are vulnerable to energy loss.

Installing energy-efficient honeycomb shades is the best way to keep your home cool and comfortable this summer. These innovative shades are designed with energy savings in mind. Hollow, honeycomb-shaped cells create layers of air pockets that prevent air, noise, and light from passing through.

Add cellular shades to your windows and doors to prevent your comfortable, cool air from making a great escape. You’ll enjoy your cool space almost as much as you’ll love your lower energy bills!

Embrace the Breeze

Turn off the air conditioner and open your windows this summer to let the cool summer breeze fill your house. Nothing sounds more relaxing than listening to the sounds of summer on a sunny Sunday afternoon! Opening your windows doesn’t have to mean opening your home to nosey onlookers, though. Plantation shutters offer the privacy you’re looking for and the breeze you need.

Plantation shutters were originally designed to keep southern homes cool during the warm months, long before air conditioning was invented. After years of fine-tuning, Hunter Douglas shutters are a classic way to keep your home breezy this summer. Enjoy the timeless beauty of Heritance® Wood Shutters or the durable, humid-resistant slats on Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters. No matter which style you choose, your new Hunter Douglas shutters will be a welcome addition to your home!

Motorized Blinds

Make motorized blinds a part of your home cooling strategy this summer with the help of Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation. Available on many styles of Hunter Douglas window treatments, upgrade all of your window treatments to smart shades.

Prevent your home from getting too warm in the first place by programming your automated shades to a set schedule each day. Automatically raise and lower your blinds at sunrise and sunset with the help of the PowerView® app. When you step out in the middle of the day, tell your smart home assistant to close your window treatments and stop the warm sun from heating your interior. When you get home, just use your Pebble® remote to welcome the sunshine back in! Motorized blinds fit seamlessly into your summer routine.
