How to Approach Choosing Window Treatments
Getting the perfect window fashion isn’t a matter of grabbing something off the shelf and slapping it on the window frame. To truly get the perfect treatment, it’s important to think through a variety of factors that can have a large impact on your room itself. At Blind Builders here in Feasterville, we’ve helped a wide variety of clients select that just-right treatment, and we’ll be happy to help you too. Read on to learn about the factors to think about as you approach the search.
Energy Bills
We’ve all had those times when the electric bill seems out of control, whether that’s because of heating in the winter or air conditioning in the summer. Luckily, energy-efficient window fashions can help. If you’re hoping for some energy bill relief, consider Duette® cellular shades, which are made with a honeycomb construction that helps keep outside air out and inside air in. Or think about Sonnette® cellular roller shades, which are a blend of a cellular shade with a roller shade, or Vignette® Modern Roman Shades, which offer timeless elegance while helping to reduce energy bills.
Consider Window Covering Functionality
As you consider how your window treatment functions, think about your light and privacy needs, as UV protection. You might enjoy top-down/bottom-up functionality, which is available on a number of shades and which allows you to open from the top, from the bottom, or both. You can find many products with blackout or light-reduction options, for rooms that need to be dark. If you’re finding a solution for a hard-to-reach window, like a skylight or a window in a vaulted ceiling, explore PowerView® automation as the lift system; it can add convenience, safety, and style.
What About Aesthetics?
Most people want window fashions that complement their décor, from design to color and texture. Consider versatile options—choose designs, colors, and styles that can still work even if you update other elements of the space. Check out the mix-and-match options from Hunter Douglas, including custom drapery or side panels, which can add depth and dimension to the window and enhance your overall look.
Child- and Pet-Safety
To keep young children and pets safe, reduce dangling cords, which can present strangling issues. Hunter Douglas offers a number of child- and pet-safe lift systems, including cordless lift systems, SimpleLift™ (which lets you raise and lower the treatment with the simple touch of a button on the bottom rail), UltraGlide® (a single retractable cord or wand), LiteRise® (which lets you raise and lower the treatment with simple pressure from your hand), and SoftTouch® motorization (which is a battery-powered system that responds to you pulling down on or pushing up on a wand). Finally, for the cream of the crop, select PowerView® Automation, a fully programmable motorized system that lets you adjust your window treatments based on programming or at any time, even when you’re not at home.
