Benefits of Window Treatments

As flooring professionals, we think one of the best benefits of window treatments is fade protection for your floors. Whether you choose shutters, shades, blinds or curtains, they will protect your home from the sun’s harmful UV rays which cause fading. Things that are exposed to sunlight can become damaged by the UV rays and will fade or start cracking over time. By using the appropriate window covering you can prevent fading caused by the sun.

With window treatments, you control the natural light let into your home, and of when you want your room to be light or dark. Light control is made even simpler with motorized systems where you can set a schedule for your treatments to adjust at certain times of the day. Light control also translates to privacy control. By closing the curtains or draperies you can cover the windows fully and stop others from viewing the inside the rooms.

Window treatments insulating materials also help with your homes energy efficiency. When it is very hot outside the covering on your windows prevent the heat from entering inside. In the same way, during winter, the heat from inside the room does not escape outside letting you enjoy the warmth inside. So you will be using less of the heating and cooling devices, ultimately leading to energy savings and energy efficiency.

Types of Window Treatments

Blinds are a simple and modern window treatment that does a great job of creating privacy by blocking out sunlight. Blinds are made from hard materials like vinyl, metal, or wood. They have louvers that can be tilted open or closed, and can be either completely lifted or lowered depending how much light control you want.

Shades are one of the more popular window treatments options. Shades are considered a soft window treatment. They come in an endless range of styles, colors, and patterns. They can be adjusted by either using a roller or pulley system. Types of shades include cellular, Roman, pleated, solar, motorized, and roller.
