How to Eliminate Light Gaps in Windows
There are plenty of times when sunshine is appreciated and wanted. We love the sun - it’s great at the pool, during a lovely stroll outside, or when you want to put the top down during a road trip.
However, there are many other instances where sunshine is not wanted. For example, when you are watching a movie, trying to take a nap, or trying to prevent any glare from bouncing off your screens, the last thing you want is for the sun to come barreling in.
Sure, you could draw your shades or blinds, but sunshine has a way of getting through even the smallest openings and window treatments. In fact, many window treatments lead to light gaps. This is when light comes into your window treatment despite it being shut. Fortunately, Hunter Douglas offers a solution to unwanted light gaps. Read on to learn more about how to eliminate light gaps.
Designer Roller Shades
The first step to learning how to eliminate light gaps in windows is selecting a proper window treatment. One great option is Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades. They offer a clean, minimal design that is ideal for every room and any style. In addition to their style benefits, these shades eliminate unwanted light gaps. This allows you to watch movies or look at your screen or take a nap without any unwanted sunshine streaming through. You can also enjoy light control and privacy in one with these shades when you choose the Duolite® system or the Dual Roller Design option. Our friendly team of experts is happy to help you achieve your lighting and privacy needs to determine which system or design is the best fit for you.
