Sunroom Window Treatment Ideas In Baltimore
A sunroom that is light and airy can turn into the most popular room in your Baltimore house. Its big glass windows and the natural light make it the perfect room to entertain family and friends, complete a crossword puzzle, or view a summer storm.
To turn your sunroom into the go-to spot in your house, you should control for light throughout the day and maintain a steady room temperature. You may even choose to redecorate the space. An easy thing to start with is with your window treatments. Try to find a window treatment that lets in the natural light and provides a view of outside but also allows you to cover your windows for privacy, energy efficiency, and light control.
The style of window treatment you purchase depends on your style, energy needs, and budget. Here are some window treatment ideas for sunrooms in Baltimore to make your sunroom the most popular space in your house.
Classic Plantation Shutters
Sunrooms have many windows which offer a great view of your yard. But all that glass means that your sunroom might not be energy efficient. Polywood® plantation shutters insulate your sunroom. They are up to 70% more energy efficient than normal wooden shutters and reduce heat transfer through your windows by 45%. This makes it so you can have the sun shine into your sunroom during the day and close your shutters when it’s night to maintain the room’s temperature.
UV-Blocking Window Film
Window film gives you a full view through your sunroom windows. It blocks 99% of the sun’s UV rays while letting natural light come into the room. Window film both reflects and absorbs the sun’s energy so you’re able to keep your sunroom at the perfect temperature. It also reduces the stress on your HVAC system, which lowers your energy costs.
Window film also protects your furniture and carpeting. The direct sunlight that passes through your windows can fade and discolor your furnishings and carpeting. But window film minimizes fading so that your carpet and furnishings keep its colors. You can add privacy tinting to window film so that you can see outside but onlookers can’t peer into your sunroom. You can also combine window film with other window treatments including shades or plantation shutters for increased energy efficiency.
Decorative Roman Shades
Roman shades are another sunroom window treatment that allows you to easily control the light levels in the room. They are available in many patterns and fabrics and a variety of styles such as modern, classic, and contemporary.
Pull the shades down to the bottom when you want privacy and less light. Retract the shades when you would like a bright room and a view of the outdoors. Additional options include: privacy liners, cordless lift systems and motorization, and decorative scallops and trims. If energy efficiency is a priority, it’s important to pick shades constructed from the right material. Shades that are crafted from thicker material will provide more insulation than lighter shades.
Fee, Fi, Faux-Wood Blinds!
- Durability: Unlike wood, the faux wood materials are resistant to warping, cracking, and fading when exposed to intense heat and direct sunlight. This makes them great for the high-light environment of a sunroom.
- Moisture resistance: Sunrooms can experience fluctuations in humidity. Because of the material we use, faux wood blinds are less susceptible to moisture damage than wood maintaining their form and function over time.
- Heat insulation: Faux wood blinds can help regulate the temperature in your sunroom by blocking out excess heat during hot afternoons. This can contribute to both energy efficiency and comfort.
- Low maintenance: These kinds of blinds are easy to clean and don't require special care or treatments to maintain their appearance and functionality.
- Cost-effective: Generally more budget-friendly than other window treatments, our faux-wood options provide a similar aesthetic at a lower price point.
- Variety of styles: Faux wood blinds come in various colors and finishes, so matching them to your sunroom's decor won't be an issue!
