Cool Style with Summer House Blinds
Slatted window treatments (like blinds and shutters) have long been a popular option for those living in hot or humid climates. For hundreds of years, the slatted design has remained a reliable tool in cooling a home using natural ventilation and control over natural light. With summer house blinds the maneuverable slats, also called louvers, can block direct light and deflect inclement weather without closing the window treatment completely. This prevents rooms from becoming stuffy by allowing for natural airflow, and with the strategic use of blinds across the house cooling cross breezes can be created that are a more environmentally friendly and economically practical way to cool homes.
Additionally, the aesthetics of slatted window treatments is dynamic with clean lines and a chic minimalist aesthetic that is desirable in many styles of modern interior design because it’s so pliable when it comes to fitting into different décors. So, summer house blinds can make the interiors physically and stylistically cooler during the year’s warmer months.
Parkland® Wood Blinds
Traditional wood blinds have a rich, authentic feel; and Parkland Wood Blinds from Hunter Douglas are the pinnacle of hardwood blinds with finely crafted slats and a smooth operating design. They look great in natural wood stains, or they can be painted for a modern aesthetic. Additionally, with summer house blinds from Hunter Douglas, you can upgrade to the de-Light™ feature that helps to eliminate light leaks, thus providing better control and keeping more light (and therefore also more heat) from entering the house.
EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds
In addition to being able to protect your home from direct light and heat in the summer, house blinds like EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds from Hunter Douglas, are also able to stand up to direct sunlight without suffering from sun damage. The blind’s resiliency is thanks to the high-tech composite each louver is made from that won’t fade, yellow, warp, or bow in the sun. Furthermore, EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds come in a wide range of colors with realistic stain-like finishes, so even though they are not traditional hardwood blinds, aesthetically and functionally they perform at the same level.
Modern Precious Metals® Aluminum Blind
Sleek and streamline describe Hunter Douglas line of aluminum blinds, which gives them a modern appearance that works well in both residential and commercial spaces. These metal summer house blinds are incredibly durable and able to stand up to both heavy use and direct sunlight. Modern Precious Metals® Aluminum Blind also have the additional feature of being available with MagnaView®, a state-of-the-art operating system that increases the spaces between louvers when the window treatment is open for a better view and increased ventilation.
