A combination of window treatments that allow light control and heat are ultimately the best option. This would mean either blockout blinds, dual roller blinds, plantation shutters or Venetian blinds. 

  • Blockout blinds block out almost all light entering through a window – reduced light means reduced heat. 
  • Dual roller blinds will allow maximum light desired as well as the darkness needed for keeping the place cool. This is because they have a see-through fabric on one roll and blockout blinds on a second roll.  
  • Plantation shutters are a more expensive window treatment option but dress up any window as well as provide a great amount of insulation from the heat. 
  • Venetian blinds are another good option as the wood will provide a cool look and feel to the window and room.
