Beautiful Science and Technology

Today’s makers of quality window fashions use the very latest and most protective high-tech materials in creating some of the most beautiful, durable and life-enhancing products ever. These take the form of innovative shadings, blinds and other amazing window treatments that give you almost absolute control of light entering each window, while adding the beauty and feel of true custom window fashions to any room.

This doesn’t, however, limit you to so-named “hard” window fashions like mini-blinds, etc., though these should be considered in some areas. “Soft” window fashions can do just as much damage control when fabricated from and/or lined with protective materials designed specifically to cut infrared and UV light. These can provide the tailored softness of custom draperies with excellent light control for more beautiful formal areas. You can even use both hard and soft treatments together for extra light protection, privacy and beauty.

Some treatments even combine two technologies to provide beauty and practicality. Imagine the softness of sheer fabrics paired with the privacy and light control of louvered window treatments… vertical OR horizontal. Products like these are available today, and are perfect for many areas and uses in your home.

Soft window fashions could include such products as Hunter Douglas Luminette, Silhouette or Pirouette fashion shadings.

Sunscreen for Your Home... Window Fashions can protect and preserve your beautiful rooms!

Now that high Summer is here, and the bright sunshine is particularly damaging to our funishings and raising our airconditioning bills, it might be a good idea to take a survey of places in your home that could use a good dose of “sunscreen”… rooms and areas that are prone to sun-fading. These places will be the first to show signs of premature aging in your valuable fabrics, rugs, carpeting, walls, and ever artwork, the things that make your house your HOME. And when it comes to sun protection, a little goes a long way. It can keep your rooms cooler, too!

Sunlight’s infrared and ultra-violet rays are the most damaging in the light spectrum, and since most every color contains a component that can be damaged by one or both of them, it’s best to keep control of the amount of sunlight that enters directly into your home. So, just like sunscreen on your skin, the proper use of window fashions can help you keep your home from getting sunburned!

One product that particularly addresses these issues is the solar shade or sheerweave.  A sheerweave screen blocks the UV, blocks the heat, and retains some of the view.  Contact us for more information on these fabulous window treatments. Follow along on the next blog for all the technical information on this product and why it is the ultimate solution for sun!

Big Style for Big Windows and Doors with Windows Fashions that WORK!

It seems every house or home in Florida  now has large or oversized windows that are intended to include views of the entire great outdoors into our rooms. They make rooms feel more spacious, and allow us immediate access to the outside world just by looking out. They also provided us with decor issues and opportunities to make bold and beautiful visual statements, and are a great location to start looking at ways to save energy dollars in heating and cooling loss abatement. Window fashions can do both, and I’d love to show you how!

Phenomenal beauty and light control.

It would be a shame to have to cover up all that outdoor light, but how can you control the damage to your interiors AND your energy budget that all that sunlight can cause? A sheer layer, whether custom sheer draperies, or one of the marvelous vaned dual-layer sheer products available is a big step forward. A layer of woven and coated screen shadings will protect your views out, and with innovative coatings that reflect heat and light, can really help do the trick.

These and other wonderful window solutions can be customized with fastening options that allow them to be used in previously difficult locations, like large sliders, french doors that are opened and closed often, and even on smaller windows and doors so that you can unify the look of your windows within a given space.

One window or a houseful…

That’s just the beginning! There are fabrics and coatings that repel sunlight, and new, man-made materials that make keeping rooms cooler in summer and warmer in winter a matter of course. I have literally hundreds of beautiful custom window fashion solutions for any and all rooms of your home, since energy loss is likely to be different from one zone of your home to another. Together, we can coordinate them all, or solve one single window dilemma at a time. Regardless, working with a professional like me will save you time, effort and trouble, and save you money in so many ways. I will work within YOUR budget, and provide you with the most beautiful custom window fashions available, made just for you! Call me today for a free, at-home consultation!

Today there are so many ways to control “energy loss” beautifully that we can only cover a few here. Often the easiest way to gain some benefit is to control the total amount of light that enters a room, and reduce the color-damaging UV rays that come in with it. Gorgeous new innovations in cellular shadings with high thermal ratings from several manufacturers have made these window fashions into practical art for living, with some providing a high degree of outdoor view even when closed. Still other makers take the “green” approach to new and higher levels, reducing energy waste by up to ninety percent! And don’t think these technical attibutes make for unattractive presentation… you’ll be stunned by the tailored beauty we can create by using these cash-saving options effectively!

Exciting Windows! by Blinds Unlimited has a wide selection of green and energy efficient products to show you.  Save on those airconditioning costs this summer!

How I can help you
stay cool this summer!

Wasn’t it just yesterday we were thinking about how we wanted to keep cold air out and warm air in? Energy dollars were flying out the seams and gaps in our windows, and nothing could stop it… that is, not until we consider one of the very best ways to keep our energy costs down: window fashions designed to control indoor temperatures. The same thing holds true in summer. Keeping cool air in, warm and hot air out, and controlling the kind of light that enters your rooms is as simple as making certain the new window fashions you choose have higher thermal properties than a single layer of fabric, metal, wood or other material. Custom window fashions designed to do what you need them to, while saving you in energy costs, are the best, brightest and most beautiful solution to heating/cooling loss through your windows!

Hunter Douglas’s Architella range offers the ultimate solution to  save energy in your home.  Whether you install the semi-opaque range or the higher rated blackout shades, both will reap rewards in energy costs and also reduce your energy footprint!  Hunter Douglas’s Summer Sale offers both instant and mail in rebates for all Architella shades.
