Window Shades For All Seasons



Years ago many of our clients would change their window treatments or shades with the seasons.  This was a popular practice in the past because in the summer, keeping out the heat was a priority when air conditioning was scarce and in the winter keeping the heat in was imperative to surviving the cold and weather.  Nowadays, with many of our homes properly heated and air conditioned, we no longer need to change our shades and window treatments with the seasons and with the new innovative window treatment products on the market that help with light shading, heat and cold absorption and UV protection it’s very possible to keep your window treatments and shades all year long.   Here are some of our favorite all-season shades to keep your house light and airy all year long!

These shades also offer a great amount of UV protection: 87-88% when open and up to 99% UV protection when closed.  This is a plus, because you now can protect your expensive home furnishing from the damaging UV rays.
