The Benefits of Light Filtering Shades for Windows
When you install light filtering window shades, you can reduce the amount of natural light that enters a room while also improving your privacy and enhancing the decor and ambiance of your home. This elegant, functional type of window treatment can:
- Enhance Privacy – Though light filtering window treatments allow natural light to pass through, they also provide some privacy. It will be harder to see into your windows during the day, and you can take advantage of the benefits of natural light. At night, you can use a secondary or layered window treatment for full privacy.
- Allow Complete Control Over Natural Light – Depending on the type of window treatment you choose; you have varying levels of control over natural light. Zebra shades, sheer curtains, solar shades, window blinds, and cellular shades allow you to adjust the covering to change the level of natural light that enters.
- Improve Energy Efficiency and Comfort – Some window treatments can offer insulation from heat and cold, improving the energy efficiency of your home and enhancing your comfort. Solar shades can block solar heat gain and reduce heat transfer.
- Reduce UV Exposure – Your window treatment can also reduce UV exposure, which can improve your health and extend the lifespan of your carpeting, upholstery, artwork, and other items that could be damaged by sun exposure.
Choosing the Right Type of Light Filtering Window Treatments
It’s important to choose the right type of window treatment. Different styles, fabrics, and designs can affect the function and beauty of your shades and how well they work for your needs. We carry the following types of light filtering window treatments:
- Solar Shades – Depending on the shades you choose; solar shades can block up to 99% of harmful UV rays. They can also reduce glare and solar heat gain, prevent fading, and offer superior privacy and light control.
- Roller Shades – Roller shades are made from sheer to moderately opaque fabric. They are manual or automatic and roll upwards to allow for unobstructed views and natural light. When closed, they still allow you to see outside while diffusing natural light into a soft glow.
- Roman Shades – Roman shades are available in almost any color or fabric. They are elegant and timeless and can range from sheer to mildly opaque. They provide a sleek, minimalist silhouette and complement almost any decor.
- Drapes – Drapes are also available in almost any color, fabric, and design, offering complete control over natural light and privacy.
- Cellular Shades – Cellular shades have enhanced insulating properties and can reduce solar heat gain and improve the efficiency of your home’s heating and cooling system. They are available in different colors and offer varying levels of light control.
- Blinds – Wooden, aluminum, and vinyl blinds allow you to adjust the slats or louvers to control the level of natural light in each room. You can choose from a wide range of colors and styles.
- Woven Shades – Woven shades offer a natural, earthy appearance. They are available in different colors and materials and can be folded up in an accordion style to control natural light and privacy.

Indoor vs. Outdoor Light Filtering Shades
Indoor window treatments are made from more delicate fabrics and materials, while outdoor window coverings are designed to withstand the elements. Outdoor window shades are more effective at blocking UV rays and preventing solar heat gain and can offer superior temperature control and sun protection. While indoor shades are mounted above the interior window frame, outdoor shades are mounted on the exterior of your home.
