It’s pretty obvious that untreated windows usually need new treatments, but it’s not always so obvious when to get new treatments for windows that already have them. At Window Treats serving Monmouth Beach, we can help you figure out if you’ve got more life left in your current window coverings or if it’s time to upgrade. Read on for some ideas!
Room Updates With New Shades
This instance might seem a bit obvious too, although many people don’t fully realize they need new window fashions until after they’ve completed the rest of a room update. But adding new color or changing a style can necessitate new window treatments as well, so it’s best to add a little to your budget to ensure you can add that finishing touch. Consider Silhouette® Window Shadings, which are a true celebration of light.
Problems With Slats
If your genuine wood shutters or blinds have spent years being exposed to direct sunlight or high humidity, they might fade, warp, crack, peel, yellow, or chip. If they’re unsightly or hard to raise or lower at this point, consider an alternative wood product like Everwood® Alternative Wood Blinds, which resist warping, fading, and bowing. Likewise, if your aluminum blinds have slats that are bent or broken, they can pose lifting and lowering challenges, and probably look bad both from the outside and the inside. Consider sturdy Modern Precious Metals® Aluminum Blinds, which are great for high-traffic areas and rooms that kids and pets frequent.
Insulation
Drafty, leaky windows, especially found in older homes, can increase your energy bill through trying to combat the outside air. Although replacing the window might be best in this situation, that can be cost-prohibitive, so upgrading your window treatment might be a better bet. Consider Duette® Cellular Shades, which are made with a honeycomb construction that traps air at the window, keeping the outside air out and the inside air in.
If You Have Questions
You still might have some questions or doubts about whether it’s time to replace your treatments and about what to replace them with if you’re ready. So contact a Window Treats representative for advice about your situation. We’ll work with you to figure out if you need new treatments, ways to make your current ones last a little longer, or, if you need new ones, the treatments that will give you the functionality, features, and benefits that will result in a great look and feel for years to come.
