The AC has Kicked In

It’s still cooling off most nights, so opening your windows in the evening hours may keep your house comfortable for when you’re sleeping. But chances are that AC is running during those hot daytime hours. Did you know that your windows, and the treatments on them, play a huge role in what your energy bill will cost you?

With countless styles, there’s sure to be shades that will fit seamlessly into your home to keep it cooler and help provide that retreat from the heat for your family. 

 

Damaging UV Rays

Just as the UV rays aren’t great for your skin, they don’t do anything but harm the interior of your home, either. Have you ever noticed how hardwood floors can become lighter everywhere but under a rug? Is your furniture not looking as crisp and new as it used to? These harsh rays can cause fading on furniture, walls, floors, and more.

Adding the right solutions will ensure less fading over time and also help to keep that pesky glare at bay when you’re trying to relax.

 

Sleep Tight and Get Relief from the Sun

Most people have some sort of window treatment in their bedrooms to help keep it a bit darker. Many treatments just sold on the shelves will still allow light to seep in around the edges or even through the fabric.

Our room darkening and blackout shades are great options for those who don’t want to rise as soon as the birds start chirping. Unless you want to be on the exact schedule the sun is, additional relief from the sun in the bedroom may be just what you need. Kids’ bedrooms can benefit from room darkening shades even more. Dropping down the shades will simplify nap time by making it dark as night, then when it comes to bedtime you can get them settled down quicker since their room will be dark.
