Understanding the Benefits of Roller Shades
A staple in the window treatment industry for decades, roller shades have evolved a great deal since the days of heavy vinyl on a spring-return tube. Today’s roller shades are still quite practical, but they also offer character and flexibility while also being stylish. At Blinds & Designs serving Marin County and greater Bay Area, CA, we carry the full line of Hunter Douglas products, and we’ll be more than happy to introduce you to Hunter Douglas roller shades options. Read on for more info, and be sure to contact us to see them in person.
Why Choose Roller Shades?
One of the most affordable and versatile window treatments on the market today, roller shades are made with one continuous panel that rolls into the headrail. Because the shade is no longer visible when it’s retracted, it’s an excellent choice for when you want to preserve your room but still have an option for light control and privacy. Sleek and minimalist, roller shades complement just about any décor.
Protection From UV Rays
If your window gets lots of direct sunlight, it’s exposed to harmful UV rays, and any flooring, furniture, and décor in the room can become discolored or warped because of it. Roller shades can protect from harmful UV rays, while still offering a versatile fabric selection and light-filtering options; plus, you can customize them to fit your needs. Products like Sonnette™ Cellular Roller Shades combine the benefits of a cellular shade with the clean lines of a standard roller, all while looking very stylish.
For Sunrooms or Patios
Roller shades—and roller screen shades—are great solutions for sunrooms and patios because they are available in a variety of weaves that offer view-through while still providing light and privacy control and UV protection. Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades are available in a wide light-filtering fabric selection, and Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shades offer a great combination of fabrics and hardware.
Styling Roller Shades
With their clean lines and neutral look, roller shades blend in to almost any décor, from traditional to modern. You can add depth and dimension to the roller shade by layering it with coordinating drapery or side panels. This styling brings additional texture and depth while framing the window in an elegant way. And don’t forget the drapery hardware for the ultimate finishing touch.
