(NC)-It has been said that windows are the lights to the soul of the home. Taking this a step further, the personality of the home radiates through the windows to the outside world. For this reason, it is vital to have window treatments that truly reflect those who dwell inside.
Silhouette window shadings from Hunter Douglas, Canada's leading manufacturer of custom window fashions, offer a soft and inviting look at the window, while providing practical benefits too. Featuring rotating fabric vanes suspended between sheer front and back facings, Silhouette window shadings effectively diffuse sunlight through the sheer fabric layers as it enters a room to create a softened lighting effect. The fabric vanes allow you to moderate light levels and to reflect the light on the walls and ceilings to help it penetrate deeper into the room,
"Using natural light like this to illuminate home interiors and thus save on electric light and energy costs is called 'daylighting'," said Sue Rainville, Hunter Douglas director of marketing. "This concept reflects our overriding goal to help our customers everywhere save energy the natural way by effectively channeling and exploiting the natural power of the sun."
Further, Silhouette shadings protect against up to 88 percent of the sun's harmful UV rays when the vanes are open, thanks to the sheer fabric facings, while still permitting light and a view, something traditional products can't do. With the vanes closed, they offer up to 99 percent UV-ray protection.
So now window treatments are not only the lights to the soul of the home, but can reflect the social responsibility and functionality of those who dwell there.
