Form and Function: Window Treatments That Filter Natural Light

Your window treatments are an important part of your home’s interior design and should fit your aesthetic preferences. However, they also serve a valuable functional purpose, as they provide privacy while controlling the amount of sunlight that enters each room in your home. Window treatments that provide light control can help your home’s energy efficiency, but perhaps more importantly, they can protect your furniture, flooring, and wall art against UV sunlight damage.

At Hirshfield’s Window Fashions, we offer a variety of window coverings that are designed to provide the light control your home needs. We’ve partnered with one of the most trusted names in window coverings—Hunter Douglas—and carry an array of products made from fabrics that can filter out 99% of harmful UV rays while in the closed position. Many Hunter Douglas UV window treatments, including Silhouette^® window shadings and Luminette^® Privacy Sheers, also filter out as much as 86% of harmful UV rays in the open-vane position.

Hunter Douglas Silhouette^®

Silhouette^® window treatments transform sunlight into beauty. Suspended between two sheers, the fabric vanes offer precise lighting control. When fully raised, Silhouette^® shades disappear into the fabric-covered headrail. You can select from 2-, 3-, and 4-inch vanes as well as several different fabric options.

Hunter Douglas Luminette^®

Luminette^® Privacy Sheers are available in an array of fashionable fabrics and colors and provide precise light control with translucent or room-darkening vane opacity options. Soft face fabric is permanently bonded to fabric vanes, offering full view-through and discreet privacy. The face fabric diffuses sunlight entering a room, reducing the need for interior lighting.
