Window Blinds And Shades Suited To Desert Environments
With one of the hottest summers in years sweeping the nation, people are looking for ways to stay cool in the summer heat. Window treatments are an easy, inexpensive way to help cut air-conditioning costs and to get a little relief from the sun. Below are some of the best blinds for desert living. Get relief from the heat immediately by ordering window treatments and blinds that have one or two-day production times.
The Top Three Window Blinds and Shades for desert living are as follows:
1. Energy Track 3/8" Translucent Double Cell Shades: These window treatments have some of the best insulating qualities on the market. They sit on a track to insulate from edge to edge on your windows. While many people associate insulating window blinds and shades with staying warm, they actually help maintain the indoor temperature of a room, whether that's warm or cold.
If nights are as hot as days, then run air conditioning for a few hours in the mornings and evenings to cool off the home, then close the blinds and turn off the AC to cut down on energy costs. These blinds are also LEED certified. Their thermal performance rating is up to five times higher than a single pane of glass. With a system to seal-in the sides of the window blinds, there is no room for drafts or air leakage.
2. Silver Screen Roller Shades - 4%: Roller shades let you keep your views of the desert while keeping UV rays out and offering insulating qualities. Silver screen roller shades are coated in aluminum, helping keep the sun's heat outside where it belongs. The 4% refers to how tightly the material is woven. 4% is a fairly tight weave, which helps provide better insulation.
3. EnviroFusion Textures Linen Shades: The fusion refers to the mixing of styles of window treatments. These are basically a mixture of roman shades and cellular shades. The cellular, honeycomb designed liner gives added insulation and hides the cord from view. The Roman Shades bring in the aesthetic qualities.
Every environment has its own weather quirks to overcome. Dealing with desert heat can be tough. If you have health problems that might be affected by heat, do not substitute blinds for air conditioning. These blinds will lower the temperature of your home and create a comfortable environment.
Feel free to research the window blinds and treatments that may be the best fit for your needs. There are many varieties and similar brands, however it's important to go with a brand you can trust. Check out the reviews of each brand and ask for samples in order to check manufacturing quality and color samples. Installing window treatments and blinds is a quick, easy solution to helping keep the sun's heat, glare and UV rays out.
