Your windows are the first thing people see when they enter your front yard. That’s why it’s important to make it presentable. Soft shades are your best bet for a window dressing that dresses to the nines. For those who desire a gentler ray of sunlight entering your home, soft shades allow you to see the outdoors without getting blinded by the sun. You can therefore take control of how much light you want to enter your home while giving you enough privacy to do all your house duties in peace. They offer security, easy to use, all the while looking incredibly chic - the ultimate triple threat of window treatments on offer.

At Burns For Blinds, we offer an array of soft shade options perfect for every homeowner. A lot of careful planning and factors are involved in the decision-making process to guarantee you have perfect covering for your home. It’s important to get all the facts before making your choice. In the following sections, we’re going to be taking a look at soft shades and how they are the ideal choice for your doors or windows.

 

1) Light Filtering

Soft shades give you control over how much light can enter the room without leaving you in the dark. One unique quality of this window treatment is that they use fabric vanes—these filter the outdoor sunlight, allowing you to see out the window quickly. The last thing you want walking around your home is to have glares from the sun blinding you. Therefore, you can rest your eyes, knowing that you have a view that doesn’t obstruct you. In this way, you can also reduce the heat entering your home, keeping you from feeling too warm. Soft shades will keep your home cool and temperate, especially during Summer.

 

2) Variety

Most people think that soft shades are only made in Roman style. However, this could not be further from the truth. There is a range of different options based on the colour, design, style, or more to choose from. At Burns For Blinds, there is a soft shade that fits every kind of aesthetic and budget.

Whether you have a classic or modern style home, we can find the perfect window dressing for your interiors. You can choose between light filtering or room darkening soft shades all of which have different purposes. The light filtering option comes in a nylon polyester mixture that provides both a sheer and highly durable coverage/ This allows you to see the outdoors without getting blinded. The room darkening option, on the other hand, is fit for areas that require more privacy and for sleeping during the daytime.

You also have the option to choose horizontal, vertical, or roll up based on your own personal preference. You even have the choice to upgrade to a remote timing system, providing you an array of operation controls spanning from battery- powered, manual, and motorised options. With this array of options at hand, you can find soft shades that will match your interiors.

 

3) Security

Feeling protected and secure is highly important in order to feel comfortable at home. While most people choose their window dressings based on their aesthetic and design, they also want one that is practical use. With soft shades, you can control how much privacy you want in the room, allowing any homeowner to feel safe while indoors. You can manage how open or shut you want the shades to be, keeping people from seeing in and vice versa. Soft shades provide protection you cannot find in any other window dressing, making you feel at ease knowing you are safe and sound at home.

 

4) Prevents Furniture Damage.

Soft shades effectively block UV rays from entering your home and destroying your furniture. This keeps the quality of your furniture protected, increasing its longevity. That way, you won’t have to replace your decor instantly, saving you money in the long run. By doing this, you can finally take pride in knowing you’ve got a window treatment that treats you and your home well.

 

5) Heat Reduction

There are a lot of window coverings out there that cannot control the glares from getting in your way. This is not the case here. While soft shades radiate filtered sunlight in your space, this ultimately minimises the heat in your home. This is perfect during Spring and Summer preventing you and anyone entering your abode from feeling overheated.
