The Benefits of Window Treatments

8/16/2016

30 Comments

 
One of the simplest and most effective ways to alter the appearance of a room in your home is to install window treatments. When you add a functional window treatment, you suddenly have control over the amount of sunlight allowed in to your home and get a better handle on privacy. Whether your reason for installing window treatments is for aesthetics or practicality, here are some key benefits of adding Window Blinds Burlington to your home.  

A Window Treatment is Much More than Just a Window Covering - A window treatment is so much more than simply a covering for your window. Different types of window treatments can be used to boost your windows’ functionality and style. Some common types of window treatments include: blinds, shades, and shutters. While functionally different, they all serve the same basic purpose: to control light, insulate, provide privacy, and pull together a room’s décor. You can use a single treatment or you can combine with different design layers to create a desired effect.

Improved Aesthetics - Premium window treatments come in a plethora of styles.  Using gorgeous, rich materials, there is a window treatment to compliment any design vision.  Whether you taste is traditional, contemporary, or something in-between, you can find a beautiful window covering to add that special touch.
 
Sun Protection - Perhaps the most important advantage of new window treatments is sun protection. Whether you choose blinds, shades, shutters, or draperies, they offer protection from the heat of the sun. Most homeowners know that over a period of time, the sun's UV rays can damage your furniture, walls and carpeting. However, when you install quality window treatments in your home, you can control the amount of sun allowed into your home and prevent this type of damage.

Privacy - We offer many great window treatments that functionally control light through the day and offer the privacy you want or need at night. The ability to keep prying eyes out of your home offers a sense of safety. This could also be useful in confidential business meetings, or to segregate one part of a work area from another.

Energy Savings - Most all window treatments provide insulation around your windows - some are better than others. For instance, when the weather is hot outside, your window treatment will work to prevent heat from coming indoors, and in the winter time, the heat from your home will be trapped inside. This allows you to enjoy comfortable temperatures all year round. Even better, energy consumption from your heating and cooling system will be noticeably reduced. Give us a call or visit our showroom today to learn more about the latest in window fashion and how we can help enhance your home.

I like how you said that window treatments are important to prevent sun damage. We have a few pieces of furniture that belonged to my mother in law before they belonged to us. They are still in surprisingly good shape and we would like to keep it that way. We'll have to ensure that we get some kind of a windows treatment that will help keep out the sun's harmful rays.

My husband and I recently moved into our new home and we want to increase the appeal of the windows. I had no idea that window treatments can provide control over the amount of sunlight allowed in your house and give you more privacy. I like that you say window treatments also decrease your energy consumption and save you money, which is very important to my husband and me! Thank you for sharing these benefits!

I've always wanted some privacy in my home so I'll be sure to get some window treatments to put on my bedroom windows. Since you pointed out that it will protect my furniture from the sun, I'll get some for the living room as well so the vintage table won't deteriorate. I like that it can lead to improved aesthetics as well so I might choose some luxurious drapes for my bedroom to make it prettier.

You made a great point when you mentioned that adding treatments to your home windows can help protect your interior from the sun's UV rays. My boss recently moved all of his office equipment into his home, and now he's looking for ideas on how to reduce the light that goes inside it. I'll share this with him so he'd consider installing window shades.

I love what you said about how window treatments can help to protect furniture and carpet from being damaged by the sun's UV rays. My brother and his wife moved into a new home last month and bought all new furniture for their rooms. I will have to recommend that they invest in high-quality window shades from a reputable window treatment company so their new furniture is not damaged.

The sun protection aspect of custom window blinds was something I really liked reading about. Our area is known for some pretty harsh winters, so I can see how having some extra protection against the insanely hot sun could help us make our furniture last longer and skin less damaged. I'll work on finding any place that sells custom window blinds right away so I can get some installed.

My neighbors told me this morning that they saw someone looking into their house. I am afraid that someone has been doing that to me too without me knowing. So I want windows that can keep my privacy at night to keep my family safe.

Thanks for pointing out that any window treatments should offer protection from the heat of the sun. I guess I could really get window shutters since I will need them for the west side of my house. It's because my house gets the most exposed to the sun in that spot which might damage our furniture.

That is the extraordinary rundown without any doubt. Window treatments give us so many benefits and it saves our money too. When our windows got too old or some old windows do not give us all the benefit which we expect from our window and even sometimes no treatments work on them. Then we have to replace our windows with new ones. Richmond Replacement Windows provide great services at very affordable prices.

I love how you mentioned that having window treatments such as blinds and shutter will give sun protection especially for our furniture walls and carpeting. The color of my sofa set has changed and faded a lot due to the sun's UV rays so we are buying a brand new sofa. I think it would be great if I get a shutter for my window before buying a new sofa set since it provides protection from the sun.

It helped when you mentioned that you have control over the amount of sunlight when you add a functional window to your home. My uncle mentioned to me last night that they are planning to have blinds installed in their new home and asked if I have any idea what is the best option to do. Thanks to this informative article and I'll be sure to tell him that it will be much better if they consult a trusted indoor store as they can answer all his inquiries.

I appreciate that you talked about how window treatments could regulate the amount of sunlight allowed in your home. It's currently summer and the sunlight is glaring hard that it makes everything hot inside the house. I'm thinking of looking for a custom shutter supplier and have them install one for our home.
