Room Darkening Shades for Blackout Interiors
Is it for movie night, so your family can enjoy the crisp colors on the screen without the glare that would normally make it nearly impossible to see? Is it because you're trying to create the ultimate slumber chamber for restful and restorative sleep? No matter why you're trying to keep the light out of your home, room-darkening shades are the answer. With an extensive collection by Hunter Douglas, including hard and soft treatments to choose from, and advanced operating systems, homeowners can tailor their room darkening shades to match their existing home décor while still getting all of the features they need.
Room Darkening Shades
Both hard and soft styles of window treatments make excellent room-darkening shades. The key is selecting materials that can block or absorb light. This means either using hard shades, like blinds or shutters, made of impenetrable materials, including wood, vinyl, and metal, or soft shades made of thicker textiles or those with back liners. Soft shades from Hunter Douglas, like Roman shades or full drapery, make excellent room-darkening shades when upgraded with a blackout back liner.
Room Darkening Operating Systems & Features
Elevate the capabilities of room darkening shades by upgrading to a light-conscious operating system or adding a supplementary room darkening features to your shade. For Hunter Douglas room darkening shades, several advanced operating systems can increase performance, some that are shade specific and some that work for various window treatment styles.
- Duolite®: Expand the overall ability of room-darkening shades to control light with the Duolite® operating system. This unique system incorporates two shades, a light filtering shade and a room darkening shade, onto a single header, so it is like getting two shades in one. The Duolite® system works on select models of Roman shades, cellular honeycomb shades, sheer shades, and roller shades.
- de-Light™: Increase the light-blocking abilities of blinds with the innovative de-Light™ feature from Hunter Douglas. This one-of-a-kind system significantly decreases the size of cord holes in blinds, thus also considerably decreasing the light that can enter those holes for darker interiors.
Room Darkening Style
Another way to enhance the light-blocking abilities of room darkening shades is to create multi-layered window fashions. Combining two or more treatments into a single window covering enables the cooperative functioning of those shades, resulting in comprehensively darker interiors. For example, using full drapery over blinds will produce a window fashion with dimensional style and the ability to almost entirely block light as the two shades work together to prevent any light leaks the other shade may have from getting through. The result is a window fashion that creates darker interiors while maintaining its elevated sense of style.
