3 Best Window Treatments for Florida Homes

Living in Florida definitely has its advantages, from nearby beaches to a practically nonexistent winter season. That being said, homeowners in Florida are faced with the added challenge of finding home solutions that can withstand intense summers, high humidity year-round, and intense UV rays. At Southern Window Treatments, we offer a wide variety of Hunter Douglas products that will fit the bill of your Florida home’s needs. Below we’ve showcased three of our absolute favorite overall window treatment solutions for Florida homes.

1: Honeycomb Cellular Shades

Hunter Douglas’s rendition of honeycomb cellular shades is by far one of our favorite window treatment options for Florida homes for so many reasons. These shades provide award-winning energy savings, they keep your home at the perfect temperature, and they offer a unique and innovative look that can provide a great many benefits to your home’s interior.

In total, you can choose from three cellular shade options from Hunter Douglas: Duette® Cellular Shades, Solera® Roman Shades, and Sonnette® Roller Shades. All of our honeycomb shades are fabric based and work 24/7 to better insulate your home and prevent unwanted external heat from getting in through your windows via the cells that each pleat in the fabric creates.

2: Motorized Shades

This option is quite a bit broad since we have so many different shade options that can be installed as motorized shades. Our Hunter Douglas motorized options boast yet another award-winning product: PowerView® Automation - recipient of the Red Dot Design Award, the most coveted and prestigious designation in the world of design.

PowerView® Automation is easy to use with your smartphone, a wall-mounted panel, or our Pebble® remote, and they can be integrated into your existing smart home hub, like Amazon Alexa or the Google Assistant, for easy voice-controlled shades. This feature is available for a wide variety of window treatments and are ideal for Florida homes. You can program your window treatments to close or open at certain times of the day to avoid peak heat hours, as well as program them with your smart thermostat to close once the inside temperature has surpassed a certain point.

Motorized shades are the best option for homeowners looking to maximize their utility bill savings and minimize their energy consumption without having to compromise the style of window treatment you have your heart set on.

3: Solar Shades

Why bother living in the sunshine state if you can’t enjoy letting the sunshine into each of your rooms? Our Hunter Douglas Designer Solar Shades are also a great option for homes in Florida. Our solar shades are a type of roller shade, and they’re specially crafted to curb harsh UV rays all year round and protect your furniture, flooring, artwork, and other interior decor from UV damage, fading, or warping. They also allow you to curb these harmful UV rays without compromising your outdoor view, making them the perfect Florida home choice.

Our Designer Solar Shades come in a wide variety of fabric choices, including sustainable fabrics. These shades can also be installed in outdoor or outdoor-adjacent spaces, such as patios, lanais, or sunrooms. They can also be customized with different opacities depending on how much view-through you prefer.
