Vertical blinds complement most window shapes and add height to any room. The vertical vanes are available in a full range of styles from moderately priced vinyl and aluminum to decorative fabrics. They rotate open and closed and draw across the window or sliding glass door like a drapery to provide excellent light control.
Benefits: Vertical blinds are a contemporary alternative to drapes offering drapery-like textures and patterns. They provide light control, they're easy to clean, and gravity does the dusting.
Commonly known as mini blinds, horizontal blinds are the most widely used window treatment available. Horizontal blinds consist of aluminum or vinyl faux wood slats, ranging in sizes from ½" to 2 1/2". They can be raised and lowered with the pull of a cord. Their sleek design and wide range of colors and styles makes them suitable for almost any room décor.
Benefits: Horizontal blinds offer excellent durability and light control; and they come in a vast selection of colors, styles, and slat widths for different size windows.
Wood blinds are similar in construction and operation to common horizontal blinds, but wood blinds offer a more warm, natural look. Wood is a natural insulator providing excellent energy efficiency. Wood blinds are most commonly offered in 1" and 2" slat sizes and in a variety of paints, stains and finishes. The wide slat sizes offer a bolder, traditional, shutter-type appearance. Woven cloth tapes can be added to coordinate with the surrounding décor.
Benefits: Wood blinds add warmth and complement wood furniture well. They offer great light control and blend well with traditional or contemporary décor. They're energy efficient and an economical alternative to shutters.
Honeycomb shades feature a unique pleated honeycomb construction to provide both fashion and energy efficiency. A pull cord allows you to raise and lower the shade as needed for light control and privacy. The durable, washable polyester fabric is available in a wide range of colors and prints, in small, medium and large pleat sizes and in various densities from sheer to total blackout.
Benefits:Honeycomb shades offer excellent insulation with no visible cord holes. They come in wide widths to cover large windows, and white backing provides a uniform look from outside. Maintenance is minimal.
Pleated shades feature decorative fabric in permanent accordion-like pleats that are crisp and stylish. Like honeycomb shades, they also lift and lower with the use of a pull cord. Woven fabric brings out the color intensity and material texture. Pleated shades are available in various densities to filter the sunlight or block it completely.
Benefits: Pleated shades are offered in rich fabrics to match all decorating styles and they're ideal for use with drapery treatments. They're easy to operate, and offer various levels of privacy and light control using liners.
Window shutters offer a classic style and are an ideal solution for windows exposed to high heat, humidity and other extreme climate conditions. Louvered shutters are available in three styles: cafe shutters, plantation shutters, and sliding shutters. Like cafe curtains, cafe shutters cover only the bottom portion of a window. Plantation shutters cover a window from top to bottom. Sliding shutters work like sliding patio doors and operate on a track where one door slides behind the other. Shutters can be made from hardwood or formulated ultraviolet resistant poly-satin compounds that are guaranteed never to warp, fade, chip or peel, regardless of high heat or other extreme climate conditions.
Benefits: Shutters increase energy savings by reducing heating and cooling costs. Shutters are a great solution to protecting your interior from ultraviolet rays.
