Optimize Your Windows for Summer with Window Treatments

Optimize Your Windows for Summer with Window TreatmentsFrom deep cleaning to switching out bed linens and bathroom towels, there are a number of ways to prepare your home for the heat of summer. But what do you do when it comes to your windows? There are a number of benefits that come along with new, energy efficient and solar controlling windows, and window treatments are just as important. Window treatments such as shutters, blinds, and shades are affordable options for your home that will save you both energy and money in the long run—especially if you make use of them during the warm summer months. Here are a few of the ways that you can use window treatments to optimize your windows for summer.

Custom, Light Blocking Shutters, Blinds, or Shades

Any of these three window treatment options can make for a great sunlight blocking option during the long, sunny, and bright summer days. The trick for getting ultimate sunlight control for your windows is to invest in custom-made window treatments so that they will be perfectly fitted to your windows. Custom shutters can be made to fit even windows with rounded designs, and blinds and shades can be cut to precision for even unique window sizes.

UV Resistant Shutters

As your home will be seeing plenty of sunlight in the summer, it’s important to invest in window treatments that won’t see a decrease in quality after months of exposure to heavy sunlight. Wasatch Shutters, for example, are paint or stain finished with a special varnish that provides both a smooth finish and protection against the browning or yellowing effects of UV rays.

Moisture Resistant Shutters and Blinds

Both blinds and shutters can come in synthetic materials that are made to stand up to heavy doses of moisture that they might encounter in the home. This is great not only for potentially moisture-heavy spaces such as the bathroom and kitchen, but also for the summertime in general if humidity tends to be high in your area. Moisture resistant shutters or blinds will help your window treatment investment last for years to come.

Energy Efficient Cellular Shades

Cellular shades in particular are designed to trap warm air between their cells and prevent it from entering the home. This means for both lower energy bills and more money in your wallet when the electricity bill comes.
