Covering your windows is more than keeping prying eyes out of your home. Yes, privacy is vital. Especially since we live in such close proximity to each other these days. But, it’s not the only reason we cover our windows. When we think about window coverings, there’s a lot of elements to consider.
Light Exposure
Does your room receive natural light or is it dark? If it’s dark, hiding what’s left of the natural light would be a mistake. If your room receives a lot of sunlight, it might bother you when trying to work or watch TV. The right blind will allow you to control light exposure to suit your unique needs.
Privacy
As we’ve mentioned before, privacy is important. And, you’ll want to choose a window covering that will allow maximum concealment from the outside world. Especially if your front window faces a busy street.
Insulation
Blinds, especially wooden blinds provide excellent insulation. By keeping the temperatures comfortable inside, it will lower your electricity bills in the long run.
Design
When choosing window coverings, your design will dictate what you select. Just make sure that your choice of window covering is in line with your goals.
Maintenance
No one wants window coverings that are high maintenance and will take hours to clean every other day.
Cost
The perfect window covering will be affordable and offer value for money.
So, what’s the best way to cover your windows? It will depend on your personal requirements. One thing we can say, however, is that wooden blinds tend to tick all the boxes. Which is probably why it’s such a popular choice for many clients. Not only is it affordable and low maintenance, but it’s also extremely durable. Your wooden blinds will last and look beautiful for many years to come.
