If you have a great view out your window, you certainly don’t want bulky window treatments covering that up. Leaving the windows uncovered can be a problem, too, especially when the sun is too bright or you want privacy. At Value Blinds & Heirloom Draperies, serving the Washington DC area, we have a variety of window coverings that let you enjoy your view when you want to, diffuse light when you need to, and block light completely when it’s necessary. Stop by our showroom in Ashburn, or schedule an in-home appointment, to see the different types of window treatments that will solve your window treatment challenge.
How Do Window Treatments Diffuse Light?
Diffusing light is a way to harness the sun’s rays without blocking them completely. Window coverings that diffuse light rather than block it allow you to have some view through your window while providing a barrier against UV rays. These window treatments:
- Diffuse the harsh sunlight and spread it evenly throughout the room
- Filter out the brightness, glare and UV rays to protect your furniture and floors from fading
- Allow for maximum daylight hours and reduce the need for artificial light
- Provide flexibility based on the amount of light and privacy you need throughout the day
- Add dramatic softness at the window
A few of our most popular light-diffusing window coverings include sheers, with adjustable vanes that float between two sheers, and shades which can be raised or lowered to any desired height and provide protection and privacy.
Automation Options for Added Convenience
Automating your window coverings allows you to program when they’re open and closed, further protecting your interiors when the sun is at its brightest and opening up your view when you’re home. Benefits of motorization include:
- Convenience
- Accessibility
- Appearance
- Enhanced child and pet safety
