Enjoy Outdoor Views and Indoor Privacy with these Light Diffusing Sheer Shades
Hunter Douglas Nantucket Blinds are a unique blend between a sheer curtain and a horizontal blind, creating a natural diffused light while maintaining privacy from the outside world.
Nantucket blinds feature 3-inch S-shaped vanes suspended between two sheer fabric layers. This design allows the vanes to be tilted open and closed like regular blinds to control light and privacy.
However, no matter what position the vanes are in, the front and back sheer layers remain in place to keep the light soft and prevent anyone outside from seeing through.
Why Choose Hunter Douglas Nantucket Window Shades?
There are many benefits to choosing Hunter Douglas Nantucket Blinds, such as:
UV Protection
Prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays can cause damage, such as fading and warping, to flooring and furniture. The sheer fabric of the Nantucket Blind can filter up to 88% of UV rays when the vanes are open and up to 99% of the damaging sun rays when the vanes are in a fully closed position. Nantucket blinds allow you to protect your furniture while still enjoying the natural light and view.
Privacy
Hunter Douglas Nantucket blinds are ideal if you require privacy but still wish to retain some natural sunlight. When seen from the outside, these sheer coverings block the view into the home, yet anyone inside can still see out. For complete privacy at night time, the vanes should be fully closed.
Light Control
Allowing some natural light into the home is good for our mental health and reduces the energy spent on artificial lighting. Because Nantucket blinds allow gently filtered sunlight into your home, you can still feel all the benefits of natural light without the damage risks. When you want to block out the light, close the vanes partially or fully for significant room darkening.
Beautiful Style Choices for Every Room
Hunter Douglas Nantucket window shadings work well in every room in the home. Available in a range of elegant and timeless fabric colours, including pale and neutral tones as well as a variety of textured finishes, there is something to suit all tastes.
Suitable for Unusually Shaped Windows
Nantucket blinds are ideal for unusually shaped windows as the tilting vanes allow light control even when the blind is fitted into a static position. Window shapes that may benefit from Nantucket blinds include:
- Arches
- Angles
- Bay and corner windows
- Patio and French doors
