Tried & True: The Best Room Darkening Features

Getting the ideal balance of light control in your San Antonio area home can be tricky. On one hand, you want to block out the intense sunshine. On the other hand, you don’t want to feel like you’re living in a cave. Feeling cooped up in the summer is the worst, but not compared to baking in the direct rays as they enter your home. The solution? We have the best room darkening features that will let you block the sun when you need to and welcome in the right amount of light at other times.

 

Good Night, Sleep Tight

Summertime can be exciting, but it’s tough to get a good night’s sleep. Do you have trouble falling asleep because of the late evening sunset? Or, is staying asleep the problem? Street lights and passing cars can cause middle of the night wake-ups.
