Beat Summer Sun with Cool Window Shades

With summer just around the corner, you might be thinking about those long, hot days when going indoors is hardly a break from the sun. When your window treatment doesn’t do its job, it can create an uncomfortable space that is hard to keep cool due to the excess amount of sunlight streaming through. Windows can be responsible for up to 30 percent of your home’s energy losses each year, which can be an expensive problem. Window shades are an excellent solution to this problem. They provide much-needed protection from the sun in style, both ensuring the privacy of your home remains strong and helping your home maintain a consistent temperature. At Ida & Norma’s Draperies, we are your local experts on all things related to window treatments, from finding the right design to friendly and professional installation. This month, we’re sharing a few of our favorite window shades for beating the summer sun in style.
