Durability and ease of maintenance are sometimes the most important factors people are looking for with new window treatments. While style and beauty are always important, some rooms in your house need the most practical window treatments. High traffic areas such as kid’s rooms, laundry rooms, mud rooms and garages are great examples of areas where practicality is more important than style. It may be tempting to simply order some blinds online and hope for the best. You’ll pay less, for sure, but you’ll likely end up spending more in the long run. Here at Window Treats, serving New Jersey and New York, we carry a wide variety of durable window treatments. [Read more…]
Window Coverings and Design with Brigette Franco Interiors
Window Treats brought in Brigette Franco, a well know interior designer known for her meticulous attention to detail, to partner on a project. The project consisted of a Master Bedroom and a Bathroom.
Master Bedroom – The bedroom had four arched windows as part of a sitting area. During the day they wanted a clear view of the outdoors, but privacy at night. They really wanted something spectacular and different for this room.
Master Bedroom – After
Bathroom – Similar to the master bedroom, they were looking for a clear view outside during the day but privacy at night. They expressed that they would really want something with a decorative flare.

Window Treatments That Don’t Obscure Your View
A homeowner in Colts Neck, NJ, along with her designer Sura Malaga, had a vision of a beautiful window treatment. Sura designed and created a design for the window treatments, and then called on Window Treats Inc. to help with implementing her vision.
During the initial design consultation, the client had two distinctive rooms they wanted assistance with.
Foyer – The windows are very tall and narrow. They wanted to keep the view, but wanted to filter the light entering the room.
Foyer – After
Great Room – They wanted something spectacular with old world charm for the triple story windows, but they didn’t want to obscure the view of the river and pool in the backyard. However, in the late afternoon, they wanted to block out the heat and protect their furniture and carpets.

Skylight Shades Improve Energy Efficiency
Skylight windows are popular in homes in Eatontown and throughout New Jersey. They’re a stylish way way to brighten up a room, for sure, but they can also be the perfect escape for your heated or cooled inside air. In the summer, too much direct sunlight from skylights can let in too much heat. In the winter, a skylight alone may not provide enough insulation. Throughout the year, direct UV light coming in through your skylight can damage the interior of your home. At Window Treats, we offer a variety of skylight shades to keep your skylights beautiful but also improve the energy efficiency of your home. [Read more…]

Silhouette A Deux Shades is the Latest Innovation in Room-Darkening Shades
We can always depend on Hunter Douglas for the latest innovations in window coverings. With the Silhouette® A Deux Window Shadings system, you have a sheer Silhouette shading in front with a room darkening roller shade in the back on a single headrail. You get the best of both worlds – the beauty of a light-filtering fabric shade and the room-darkening capabilities of a roller shade. As a room-darkening shade system, these window coverings are perfect for your bedroom, media room, or anywhere where you want premium control over light. Stop by our showroom or schedule an in-home consultation throughout New Jersey, including the New Brunswick area, to check out these shades for yourself.
In the Front: Silhouette Shades
On the room-facing side of the A Deux system is the beautiful Silhouette shade. The vanes of Silhouette® window shades magically float between two sheers. Simply tilt the vanes to achieve your desired level of light and privacy. With no cords or tapes, the sheer facings allow you to view through the vanes to the outside, while maintaining a discreet level of privacy. The sheers soften sunlight to create warmth without too much brightness. Choose from 2” and 3” vane Silhouette fabrics, including Alustra products, to be paired with a room-darkening roller shade option. Silhouette shades are available in a wide variety of colors and fabrics.
In the Back: Roller Shades
With the A Deux system, a high quality Hunter Douglas roller shade shares a headrail cassette with a Silhouette shade. With the roller shade in the back, you can enjoy complete room darkening when you want it — perfect for media rooms and bedrooms. Roller shades also protect your furniture, flooring and artwork from fading with at least 75% protection from harmful UV rays.
Operating Systems for Your Window Shades
With the A Deux system, you have several options for operating your shades. Use the same operating system front and back, or mix and match with one operating system on the roller shade and one operating system on the Silhouette. Choose from:
- EasyRise: Pulling down on the front of our EasyRise™ continuous loop lowers your window fashion. Pulling on the rear of the loop raises it.
- LiteRise: Our LiteRise® cordless system lets you simply push up with your hand to raise and pull down to lower. Your blinds and shades stay right where you put them.
- PowerRise; Our PowerRise® motorized lifting system allows you to easily raise or lower individual window shades and shadings.
