Window Covering (Blinds & Shades)

Window coverings (blinds / shades) help homeowners achieve style without fabric. They are an ideal solution in tight places where drapes may take up too much wall space. Wood blinds, pleated and cellular shades, aluminum and vertical blinds are just a few options available to homeowners. Bamboo blinds can be found at many import stores. Materials like wood, aluminum, and fabric in various finishes, allow you to match the blinds to the color scheme of each room.

Safety and privacy are important when considering window coverings. Different models provide various degrees of privacy depending on your needs. Blackout shades and blinds are particularly effective in bedrooms located on the front of a house. Plantation shutters are effective for a rear bedroom or bath or where landscaping already creates privacy. Window coverings also provide insulation. There are some window models, which have built-in blinds. This prevents dust from ever touching the blinds.
