Window Treatments to Withstand Heat and Humidity

Withstanding high heat and humidity can be difficult. It’s hard on people, roadways, air conditioning units, and window treatments. At Fine Shadings and Décor, we do what we can to make sure everything in our homes, including ourselves, are prepared to handle extreme conditions. For example, we might regularly have our air conditioning units serviced, and when protecting ourselves, we avoid going outdoors at peak heat, dress accordingly, and use sunscreen. But many of us might not be aware of ways to protect the furniture and items within our homes. With a good window treatment, you can protect what is in your home as well as your other window dressings from the Sun’s harmful UV rays.

Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters Window Shutters Window Treatments to Withstand Humidity Near Miami, Florida (FL).

Designer Screen Shades

What poses the biggest threat to your furniture and home’s interior is the sunlight. While your home is somewhat protected from the high heat, your windows (when left uncovered) allow harmful ultraviolet rays to stream in and age your décor and furniture. Even some other window treatments cannot protect your home from the most intense light. With Designer Screen Shades, you get a window treatment that is specially designed to help reduce the impact of the most aggressive UV rays. Plus, they also minimize light gaps which further protects your valuables as well as your privacy. These shades can work in any room but are especially useful in places you’d like to have greater coverage against bright light.

Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters

Indoor shutters are a stylish, timeless window treatment option for homes that even help to raise their value. And while wood shutters aren’t the best in high-moisture or humid areas due to the fact the wood can expand in extreme conditions, with Palm Beach™  Polysatin™ Shutters, you can enjoy the timeless look without the stress of maintaining hardwood in difficult conditions. These particular shutters are made with an innovative Polysatin™ material and can withstand those rough conditions associated with heat and humidity. That is because they are UV-resistant and can prevent chipping, peeling, warping, cracking and fading.
