Fall: Best Window Treatments for the Views
Fall brings beautiful, clear skies and stunning sunsets to the Phoenix metro area, particularly in neighborhoods such as Biltmore Greens, Biltmore Terraces, and Biltmore Estates. Large desert windows are designed to capture these incredible window views, but they also bring intense sun, glare, and, at night, a lack of privacy. That's where selecting the right window treatments with view preservation becomes the primary goal. And Desert Shades and Drapery, your premier and local window covering expert in the Biltmore area, can help you find the best window treatments with views ready for Fall.
The View Preservation Paradox
Traditional blinds or thick drapery force an all-or-nothing choice—close them for protection and privacy or open them and endure the glare. Accurate view preservation requires a treatment that manages light, reduces UV rays, and filters glare without completely obstructing the view of the outside. The best way to do this is to leverage material transparency and intelligent operating systems to provide protection only where and when it's needed. These systems are crucial for homes in the Biltmore Area and beyond, particularly in preserving their value.
Solution 1: The Elegance of Sheer Shades
Sheer shades are the premier and many people's first choice for view preservation, like the Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades or Pirouette® Sheer Shades. These treatments feature soft fabric vanes suspended between two sheer fabric facings. When open, the sheer fabric diffuses harsh sunlight, reducing glare and protecting furniture from UV damage while maintaining a soft and visible view. Helping create a bright room that is comfortable without blinding glares, these treatments transform harsh sun into soft, usable natural light.
Solution 2: Functional Versatility
Top-down/bottom-up window treatments are the key to flexible privacy. These coverings are perfect for street-level windows, such as those in Biltmore Estates. You can lower the shade from the top to allow natural light in and keep the sky visible, while the bottom remains closed for absolute privacy. This feature is available on many Hunter Douglas products we have at Desert Shades and Drapery. If you prefer traditional solutions, you can also go with custom drapery from Carole Fabrics. The sheer shades manage daytime light, and the custom drapery provides decorative elegance and total blackout privacy at night. These treatments preserve the view all day and ensure security after dark.
