Sheers and Shadings for Natural Lighting
We are so excited for spring to be in full bloom and enjoy the beauty of the California sun. Unfortunately, beautiful sunny days can also bring undesirable UV damage to your home. That’s where we come in at North County Blinds. Our line of Hunter Douglas sheers and shadings can amplify your home with the beauty of natural light while protecting your precious home furnishings, flooring, and artwork. Natural lighting is one of the simplest ways to illuminate the beauty of your living space and bring those precious moments in the sun indoors. It’s easy to forget to draw your shades when you’re leaving home to run an errand or working from home in another room all day. Even a short period of the peak sun hours can cause light damage, but our Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Window Shadings, Pirouette® Window Shadings, or Luminette® Privacy Sheers can bring sunshine into your home without the concern of UV damage.
Silhouette® Window Shadings
You can truly transform the lighting in your home with our Silhouette® Window Shadings. It’s a luxury to have natural lighting and privacy at the same time, and that’s exactly what this shading provides. The innovative and unique design of the S-shaped vanes appear to float between two sheer fabrics, letting light filter through while also obscuring the outside world's view into your space. There’s a wide variety of fabrics to choose from when designing the perfect Silhouette® Shading for your home, which makes it easier to appeal to any individual’s or family’s aesthetic goals. Depending on your fabric choice, the Silhouette® Shading will filter up to 88% of the sun’s harmful rays, meaning you can allow as much or as little of the day’s natural light into your home.
Pirouette® Window Shadings
If you’re a lover of modern aesthetics, Pirouette® Window Shadings might be the perfect solution for your home. The clean lines in the design of these shadings and vast array of bold fabrics and colors allow you to wield complete control over the lighting in your home. The softly contoured, front-facing vanes gracefully transition a darkened room with 99% UV protection to brightly lit and still blocking up to 81% of the sun’s harmful rays. No matter what lighting needs you have in your rooms, these shades will strike the perfect balance of light and dark with style, all while protecting your precious furnishings.
Luminette® Privacy Sheers
For homes with a wide expanse of glass that need window treatments with vertical applications, our Luminette® Privacy Sheers are as illuminating as they are versatile. The vanes rotate 180°, giving you the ability to allow as much light as you want into your home. When they’re closed, the hardware is completely obscured by the fabric, giving a minimalist, less cluttered look to your home. One of the best parts of the Luminette® Privacy Sheers is that with every single fabric option comes a room darkening option. The combination of the sheer fabric and vertical panes create a distinguished glow throughout your home, lessening the intensity of the daylight in spring and summer without compromising the beauty this light brings to your home.
