Prepare for Spring with New Sunshades

Even though it feels like the holidays were just here, 2025 is swiftly moving toward the warmer months. Many folks are ready for longer days, warmer nights, and ample sunshine streaming through their windows. While we love some good sunshine after a long winter and rainy spring, there’s such a thing as too much of a good thing!

That’s why now is the perfect time to upgrade your window treatments. High-quality sunshades can give your interiors a breath of fresh air and protect your home from harsh UV rays. Our Delux Drapery & Shade Co. can share some of the benefits of sunshades and a few of our favorite product recommendations.

What is a Sunshade?

Artisans design sunshades to block harsh UV rays, curb glare, and transform bright sunshine into a soft glow. These particular window treatments allow you to enjoy natural light without any of the downsides, such as your furniture fading, the sun bouncing off your screens, or you feeling the urge to wear your sunglasses while inside.

From roll-up sunshades to ones that glide along a panel track, these shades operate smoothly, allowing you to enjoy privacy or shade with ease.

Staying Cool While Saving Money

Is there anything worse than walking into a sweltering room in the summer? Often, windows are a significant source of energy loss in a home. Improperly covered windows can lead to substantial heat gain as the summer sun rises in the sky. Sunshades help reduce heat gain by diffusing harsh light throughout the day. Depending on your fabric color, you can control the amount of light coming into your room.

For example, lighter fabrics diffuse light, whereas darker colors can block it completely. With high-quality sunshades, you can keep your home cool and, over time, even enjoy lower energy bills.
