Room-Darkening Window Treatments

When it comes to room-darkening window treatments near Miami, Florida, many options can give you the darkness you desire. Our team at Fine Shadings & Decor is looking today at three different options for Hunter Douglas room-darkening window treatments, from room-darkening shades and room-darkening blinds to utilizing light-proof materials and even state-of-the-art operating systems to upgrades that elevate light control to help Miami homeowners find the best style of room-darkening shades for their home.

Using Lightproof Material

One way to elevate the room-darkening ability of window treatments is to look for specific materials that are better at blocking or absorbing sunlight. These materials can be found in both hard and soft treatments.

• Blinds and Shutters: Both room-darkening blinds and shutters are made of hard materials like wood and composite materials that are impervious to sunlight. This makes the treatments great at room-darkening when needed, or their tilting slats can be easily adjusted to allow regulated amounts of natural light.
• Fabric Liners: Adding a back liner to fabric treatments like Roman shades or drapery will improve the shade’s ability to darken rooms. Ask about liners of different opacities for room-darkening or blackout attributes.
• Layered Treatments: Adding layers to a window fashion can improve its room-darkening abilities because each layer helps block light leaks through the other. For example, Hunter Douglas room-darkening window treatments that paired drapery over wood shutters can simultaneously create darkened interiors and elevated style.

The Duolite® System

The Duolite® System is an innovative lighting solution from Hunter Douglas that combines a regular window shade (such as a Roman shade, cellular shade, roller shade, or sheer shade) with a room-darkening back shade and both operate from a single header. This creates room-darkening shades with a wide spectrum of light control and varying aesthetic styles. The Duolite® System is compatible with the following:

• Vignette® Roman Shades
• Duette® Cellular Shades
• Designer Roller Shades
• Silhouette® Sheer Shades

Upgrades for Blackout Darkness

Several Hunter Douglas room-darkening window treatments have additional features that can elevate their light-blocking abilities to help create blackout interiors.

• LightLock® System: The LightLock® System is an exclusive design for Duette® Cellular Shades that adds a U-shaped track system around the edges of the shade. This u-shaped track absorbs or deflects light, trying to sneak around the edges of the shade for dramatically darker interiors.
• PowerView® Automation: Even the best room-darkening shades won’t create that blackout interior you want if you don’t remember to close them or if closing them is difficult. PowerView® Automation makes closing room-darkening shades as easy as pressing a button. With pre-scheduled automation available as part of the program, those room-darkening shades can even be set to lock automatically.
