Sunroom Window Treatments

Sunrooms are a wonderful place to enjoy nature without the hassle of little critters invading our space. Even if your sunroom is already furnished and you need window treatments to complement what is pre-existing; the choices for treatments will fit any budget or room décor. If you are starting with the windows and using them as your theme, you will still have plenty of options for furniture and accessories. Does this Spark an idea?

Window Film


Window film can be applied professionally or by the homeowner. Even when there is no other window treatment, film is always working to prevent harmful rays from causing fading to furniture and flooring. Windows that have a film adhesive will also not spray glass when they are shattered. Tinted windows will provide daytime privacy, although at night when there are lights on, they give no privacy from onlookers. Applying film to your windows as a home project will save you money, but it is important to know that even the tiniest speck of dirt will be amplified once the film is placed on the window.


Window Quilts


Window quilts are insulated window treatments that will keep the warm air from escaping during cool nights. Sunrooms are often used during cooler months as part of the homes living space. Quilted treatments allow the warm air to stay captive inside the room providing a cozy and functional room. These treatments need to fit snugly inside the window frame, which also helps keep outside air from entering due to drafty windows.


Bamboo Shades


Bamboo shades will bring the outside in with their natural color and fiber look. Bamboo is a light-weight material but is very durable and is easily cleaned with a weekly dusting. These shades can be purchased in the roll-up style or as a Roman shade. Even with the shade completely rolled down there will still be a nice amount of light that filters through. Some shades can be bought with a liner for even more privacy. Bamboo shades are pre-cut when purchased off the shelf but can also be custom ordered. These shades are an inexpensive way to add a functional and charming window treatment to a sunroom.


Café Curtains


Café curtains provide a country look to windows. These curtains have top and bottom panels. This design allows for the bottom panels to be pulled shut for privacy while the top panels can be drawn toward the window frame, allowing for light to enter.
