Winter’s long, dark days and cold temperatures can make tough times for your home comfort. Your window coverings play an important role in helping provide solutions. At VSC Window  Coverings you will find such quality brands as Hunter Douglas, Graber, Alta, and Norman to  help you. Consider these factors for your winter light and comfort control: 

Layer for flexibility. Combine light-filtering cellular shades with heavier drapes. Use the  lighter layer during daytime to diffuse glare while keeping heat, and close the heavier layer at  night for insulation and darkness. 

Use cellular (honeycomb) shades. Their air pockets provide insulation and reduce drafts  while still allowing you to control light. Top-down/bottom-up models, such as Hunter Douglas® Duette®, let you keep light at the top while shading at eye level. 

Choose the right colors and fabrics. Lighter colors reflect daylight into the room. Dark or  blackout linings block glare. Consider Hunter Douglas® Duette® Architella® shades to improve  R-values and energy efficiency. 

Control glare without losing view. Sheer or solar shades reduce glare while preserving  outward visibility; pair them with opaque drapes for night privacy. 

Motorization for convenience and efficiency. Smart shades automate opening window  coverings during sunny hours and closing at night. Track sunrise/sunset times or set a simple  routine. Boost your comfort and lower heating costs.
