Best Window Treatments for a Sunroom in Houston
A sunroom is wonderful, until a Houston afternoon turns it into an oven with unbearable glare. The challenge is keeping the bright, open feel that makes a sunroom special while taming the heat, UV, and glare of walls of glass. Here are the best window coverings to make a sunroom comfortable and usable year round.
The sunroom heat and glare problem
Sunrooms are mostly glass, often on the hottest, sunniest side of the house, so they take enormous solar heat gain and glare. Without the right coverings, the room is beautiful in the morning and unusable by afternoon, and it can push heat into the rest of the home. The goal is to cut the heat and glare while preserving the light and the view.
Solar screen shades: the workhorse
Solar screens are the top choice for a sunroom. They block a large share of the sun’s heat and UV while keeping your view of the yard, so the room stays bright and open but far cooler and easier on the eyes. A medium openness fabric balances glare control with a preserved outlook, ideal for walls of glass.
Cellular shades for insulation
Where you want more insulation, cellular honeycomb shades trap air at the glass to slow heat gain, helping keep the sunroom, and the rooms next to it, cooler through the summer. Light filtering cellulars keep the space bright, while room-darkening options let you tone the room down when the sun is brutal.
Motorization for walls of windows
Sunrooms often have many windows, plus tall or hard-to-reach ones. Motorized shades let you adjust them all at once, or on an automatic schedule that closes them during the hottest part of the afternoon. It turns a room full of individual shades into effortless, one-touch comfort.
