Shades for Surviving Summer Heat in Homes

We all know the struggle of dealing with the summer heat. From chafing and sweating to air conditioner failures, we tend to spend a good portion of the summer season feeling uncomfortable, overheated, and just frustrated. Living in Texas, we know to expect heat in the summer, but we may not have prepared our homes for desert-like temperatures. If your energy bill is on the rise, and your air conditioner is struggling to keep up, you may be looking for additional ways to improve your home’s efficiency. With a great selection of window coverings, including collections from Hunter Douglas, a visit to Hill Country Blinds will have you one step closer to staying cool this summer.

Your window coverings can help insulate your home from outside conditions. However, some products are better than others depending on your design preferences and your desired level of light control. First, if you feel like your windows are well-insulated, but you’re concerned about the heat from the sunlight coming in, you should consider a window treatment that will block the light. Thicker than standard blinds, Heritance® Hardwood Shutters can serve as a barrier between the window and the rest of your home. Customized to fit your windows’ specifications, this product will minimize the light gap around the edges while bringing an elegant, plantation-style appearance.

No matter your style preferences, you can even improve the energy efficiency of your home by selecting a product that operates with Hunter Douglas PowerView® Motorization. With this operating system, you can control your window covering with a touch of a button or the use of your mobile device. Plus, you can schedule the operation of your shades, optimizing light control based on the time of day and increasing energy efficiency by closing the shades when you’re not in the room.

At Hill Country Blinds, we have window coverings for every need. Each product is available in a variety of fabrics with differing opacities, allowing you to customize your perfect fit. If you want to improve the energy efficiency of your home in Austin, Texas or the surrounding areas including Bee Cave, Georgetown, Lakeway, Round Rock, and Spicewood, visit our showroom in Lakewood or contact us to schedule your consultation today!
