The Best Shades for Outdoor Views
Window treatments are there to offer us privacy and light control. We shut our shades, so the outside world doesn’t have a view into our home, and we shut our blinds when that sun becomes a little too intense for our liking. Of course, window treatments should offer more than just shade and privacy. In fact, window treatments should optimize your views of the outside world. After all, windows are there to let you take in your views, and your window treatments should work to enhance that! Fortunately, Hunter Douglas has created a shade that maximizes your outdoor views. Exclusive to Hunter Douglas, Pirouette® Window Shadings boast softly contoured fabric vanes that move in tandem for a fluid, graceful effect and are capable of disappearing into the headrail completely for unobstructed views to the outdoors. Read on to learn why you will love Pirouette® Window Shadings.
Enjoy Your Views
As mentioned, one of the benefits of Pirouette® Window Shadings is the maximization of your outside views. Pirouette® ClearView® Window Shadings provide ample light control that transforms harsh sunlight into a soft glow while giving you ample views to the outside. The Invisi-Life system available with Pirouette® Window Shadings also allows for the fabric vanes to float gracefully on a single sheer backing to eradicate any obstructing cords or tapes. If you want a shade that offers clean views to the outside and a graceful look at your windows, then you will love adding Pirouette® Window Shadings to your home.
Stunning Styles
In addition to working hard, Pirouette® Window Shadings also look phenomenal the moment they are hung up. You can explore the rich texture offered within the Alustra® Collection of Pirouette to transform your windows into a work of art. This design-forward suite of fabrics offers gorgeous textures, hardware, and colors to create a look that you will enjoy seeing each day. If you are seeking the best in design, look no further than Hunter Douglas Pirouette® Window Shadings. Our standard collection of Pirouette® Window Shadings also offers gorgeous fabrics. Explore fan-favorite colors like Pesto, Reflection, and Ballet, and more.
UV Protection
While we love looking outside, we do not love harmful UV rays streaming into our homes when we want to enjoy our views. Prolonged UV damage can lead to faded furniture, flooring, and artwork. That is why Pirouette® Window Shadings block up to 81 percent of harmful UV rays with the vanes open and 99 percent with the vanes closed. From rare sunny days in the winter to bright summer afternoons, your home will be protected from UV rays when you add Pirouette® Window Shadings to the mix.
