3 Easy To Install Exterior Window Shades

Walls are definitely a great barrier against outside cold and heat. But this cannot be always said about windows. Some argue that they act as thermal holes and rightly so. This is because as compared to windowless walls a wall that has windows is not able to provide the absolute ideal barrier against outside elements. It is true that the very moment you create an opening in the wall for a window, all exterior elements including varying temperatures start influencing interior temperatures and environment. Windows are the reason and a good one to be having those fancy treatments and shades installed in the first place. They are also a major reason that your home rapidly loses the artificial climate that you try to create inside. Manhattan Shades 252 W 76th St New York, NY 10023 866-430-4588

3 <strong>Easy</strong> <strong>To</strong> <strong>Install</strong> <strong>Exterior</strong> <strong>Window</strong> <strong>Shades</strong><br />

While driving through the streets of Manhattan or NYC you easily find a large number of<br />

houses with the most stylish exterior window shades and treatments. This is because<br />

windows require more than the interior blinds installation to look good. You don’t just<br />

want them to look appealing from the inside but also from the outside. There are plenty<br />

of options across the city that can make your windows look drastically different from<br />

what you could possibly imagine. What kind of window treatments and shades you install<br />

outside your home will also depend on the amount of sunlight your home receives during<br />

the day and also the level of privacy that you seek.<br />

Are <strong>Window</strong>s Anti Barrier?<br />

Walls are definitely a great barrier against outside cold and heat. But this cannot be<br />

always said about windows. Some argue that they act as thermal holes and rightly so.<br />

This is because as compared to windowless walls a wall that has windows is not able to<br />

provide the absolute ideal barrier against outside elements.<br />

Interior Blinds – A Less Than Perfect Solution<br />

Interior blinds and shades and curtains and all those beautiful window treatments that you


get in the high end markets of Manhattan and NYC are best for your privacy. They even<br />

go well with your interiors because the number of choices that you get in terms of<br />

designs, patterns, textures, materials and colors, etc. is practically limitless. You can<br />

easily get overwhelmed and then panic in some cases but eventually you do make up<br />

your mind about it.<br />

1. Hood and Awnings<br />

Aluminum is absolutely the best when you want to prevent the sun from hammering your<br />

windows. Choose those lightweight yet durable hood awnings that act like hat visors for<br />

your house. You can also go for the ones that have side protection.<br />

2. Bahama or Bermuda <strong>Shades</strong><br />

These are basically just louvered shutters with a long piano hinge at their top. These tilt<br />

upward a little and their side arms hold them at an almost 30 degree angle.<br />

3. Roller Awnings<br />

These are just high quality fabric awnings that are stored in a tube mounted above your<br />

window. These can be operated either electrically or manually and can unroll from their<br />

tube to extend and become a cover for your window that can support itself.<br />
