Why Bay Window Roller Shades are a Must-Have
Whether you use it as a reading nook or a visually intriguing way to enjoy your views, bay windows are a charming feature that we adore. What we don't love, however, is how these large windows let in intense UV rays, open your home up to outside eyes, and not reach their design potential when left uncovered. See why bay window roller shades from Hunter Douglas are a must-have for these unique windows:
Superior Light Filtration and Energy Efficiency
Did you know that about 30% of a home’s energy is lost through windows? Since bay windows feature three individual panes, that’s triple the potential energy loss. One of the benefits of bay window roller shades is that they help keep your home comfortable throughout the year. For example, Sonnette® Roller Shades from Hunter Douglas combine a cellular shade's energy-efficient performance with a roller shade's simplicity for a fresh, simple style that packs a powerful insulating punch. With semi-opaque and room-darkening fabrics, these shades also provide your perfect levels of light diffusion and privacy.
Minimalist Styles for Modern Homes
Since bay windows are large, adding a heavy window treatment can make the room seem smaller. The beauty of roller shades is their minimalist aesthetic that complements a space instead of cramping it. Designer Roller Shades from Hunter Douglas capture this simplistic beauty with over 370 globally sourced fabrics (including sheer, opaque, textures, and patterns) that enhance, rather than overwhelm, the window.
Custom Operating Systems
Speaking of dangling cords, different households require different operating systems. Whether you have small children or desire a streamlined look, Hunter Douglas Bay window shades have several operational upgrades in addition to the standard Beaded Loop control. Ready to go cordless? PowerView® Automation allows you to adjust your shades with your smart device, a sleek remote control, or your voice. Do you prefer something a little more manual? The Push/Pull system lets you adjust the shade by simply pulling down or pushing up. Like the idea of a modern cord? The Motorized Wand lets you adjust your shades with a push or pull via SoftTouch® Motorization.
