Why Armour Hills Homeowners Choose Room Darkening Blackout Shades Armour Hills' historic homes feature the gracious proportions and substantial windows that define early Kansas City architecture. These beautiful features, while architecturally significant, can present light control challenges—especially for bedrooms facing Ward Parkway or Armour Boulevard. Blackout shades solve this elegantly without compromising your home's classic character. Many Armour Hills residents use blackout shades in master bedrooms for improved sleep quality, in nurseries for better napping schedules, and in home theaters for enhanced viewing. The neighborhood's established tree canopy means less summer heat gain, but blackout shades still provide 10-15% additional energy savings. Our motorized options appeal to homeowners seeking modern convenience within traditional homes.
