Do Homeowners Need Window Treatments on Their Porch Windows?

Are you asking yourself if you need window treatments on your porch, weighing the pros against the costs? Make sure you’re making an informed decision by understanding all the benefits that new porch window shades can offer. Check out our list of the top 5 benefits of window treatments for porch windows for Georgia homeowners from our design team at Little’s Custom Blinds & Shutters to better understand how porch window treatments can be a worthwhile investment.

Custom Window Treatments for Porch Windows Offer UV Protection

The abundance of sunlight coming through porch windows with screens will bring with it an abundance of UV. Prolonged exposure to UV can damage flooring, furniture, fabrics, and wall paint, manifesting as discoloration or bleaching, warping, or premature material degradation. Designer Solar Shades offer UV protection over screen porch windows in all 5 of the available opacities.

Enhance Your Home’s Privacy with Hunter Douglas Shades for Your Porch

One of our favorite aspects of the porch is the room’s open feel and wide view outside. While this openness can make spending time in the room enjoyable, it can also pose a vulnerability to personal privacy. Porch windows with screen shades or sheer shades can maintain the open ambiance but provide privacy by blurring the view in. Pirouette® Sheer Shades offer privacy on porches as well as a modern sense of gracefulness for the discerning homeowner.

Front Porch Window Treatments Improve Energy Efficiency

Porch windows, like windows in any room of the home, can present issues with maintaining energy efficiency. By using window treatments strategically to block unwanted elements from entering the home (like summer heat) and keep wanted elements inside (like air conditioning), homeowners can improve their homes’ energy efficiency and save money. When it comes to energy-efficient window treatments, few compare to the insulating power of cellular shades.

Get Better Light Control with Hunter Douglas Porch Window Treatments

We love the natural illumination that sunlight brings into the porch, as well as its zero-dollar price tag. However, direct light can be blinding, and glare can make a room less than comfortable to inhabit. The Duolite® system, with both a light-filtering shade and a room-darkening shade, can handle a wide range of lighting needs. On the porch, we love Designer Roller Shades because of their unassuming style and elevated light control.

Hunter Douglas Porch Window Treatments Increase Your Usable Space

Front and back porches can often be colder or warmer than other parts of your home. By adding interior window treatments, you can help make your space more livable, even during hot Georgia summers. They can also muffle sound for more peaceful environments and help regulate solar heat for better temperature control in the space. Shutters, with their tilting louvers, are excellent at blocking sun rays. We like Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters on the porch for their additional resistance to UV and moisture.
