However, you will find that the heat index and the light can be a bit of a burden down the line. If you are looking to gain a bit more control over the light and heat that you let in consider looking into proper window coverings. If you’re going to pick out a solution that is going to help you gain a semblance of control you’ve got to look at style, function, and budget. The Layered Approach First and foremost you should always consider whether you want privacy or you just want something simple. If you go with the lower end of the price points you will not get much coverage or privacy. Think of apartment complexes with simplified blinds. They usually let some light in never truly blocking out the luminous sunlight that comes in the morning and afternoon. Layering more options can help you and give you a bit of a barrier for heat, cooling, and more. With that in mind look for heavy curtains that can be layered on top of other solutions. Vertical Solutions You could always consider setting up thermal vertical options. These can be custom fitted and will help you eliminate sunlight and heat that comes through a window pane. These can be on the inside or the outside depending of course on how you want to set up your shading and window coverings. Horizontal Options Another option that you’ll want to look at is horizontal mini-blinds. These can help with a variety of issues and come with adjustable options. Look for aluminum or wood offerings if you want to skip out on the “cheaper” side of the window covering options. You will want to consider the materials its made from as a major selling point just as much as it’s functionality. Outside Solutions If you’re looking to have a bit of protection from the outside looking in consider shutters. Exterior shutters can give you a bit more coverage especially if they are flexible. You will want these to be more than decorative though so be prepared to shop around. The downside here is that you will need to make sure that you maintain them over time. These are often susceptible to rot, broken hinges, and more. At the end of the day the aforementioned are just a few things to consider when looking at window coverings. If you want form and function there are several options to consider. Each solution will give you a different vantage point in regards to how you move forward. When in doubt seek professional assistance so that you can go through the various offerings in this arena and find a clear advantage to highlight before moving forward. Window coverings can be a matter of form and function when done right. Hunter Douglas Dealer Raymonde Draperies Click Here!! Posted by Unknown at 9:40 PM 4 comments: Email This BlogThis!

Exciting because there is new window decor coming into a home and nerve-racking because there are so many different styles to choose from and selecting one that's right for their home can be very arduous indeed. Fortunately for those homeowners who want a combination of both traditional interior design and effectiveness there exists plantation shutters. Plantation shutters provide all of the privacy, protection, convenience, and aesthetics that homeowners wanting new shutters could ask for. Moreover plantation shutters, especially modern ones, are extremely durable and easy to use. While plantation shutters are certainly a great choice for homeowners concerned with both looks and efficiency, many homeowners don't actually know what a plantation shutter is. In most cases a homeowners mental picture of shutters is actually plantation shutters though they are unaware of that. Very simply plantation shutters are shutters whose makeup consists of multiple rows of wooden slats and a single vertical bar that runs down the center of the shutter. Plantation shutters are great insulators as well as providers of privacy. Homeowners will find that modern plantation shutters are available in a wide variety of construction materials as well as colors, styles, and designs. Should a homeowner elect to have plantation shutters installed in their home they will quickly find that there are number of benefits that come along with them. Chief among these benefits are the design aspect of plantation shutters. In sharp contrast to shades and blinds plantation shutters can be constructed/painted so that they match perfectly with a homeowners existing decor. This saves homeowners the hassle of having to redecorate the rest of a room or purchase new furniture. Secondly and as mentioned previously plantation shutters are great insulators. A large part of their popularity stems from the fact that they're very good at helping to regulate the internal climate of a home. In fact good plantation shutters can help homeowners reduce energy costs considerably by negating the need to run both air conditioning and heat more than they like to. In addition to their ability to insulate a home and their fantastic design options, plantation shutters are also selected by homeowners because of their excellent ability to control light. With plantation shutters homeowners have the ability to allow as much or as little light into their home as they like. When completely shut plantation shutters can make the room extremely dark during even the brightest of days and when opened can illuminate a room completely. Those homeowners who want to create a moody atmosphere in a room or the whole of a home can slightly open their plantation shutters to achieve the desired effect. Plantation shutters are beautiful, effective, and simple in concept. When it comes to installation however it behooves homeowners to seek out the assistance of a professional. Generally speaking homeowners will find that the very vendor who sold them shutters also offers installation services, sometimes at no additional charge. Getting measurements precise and installation completed properly is key to ensuring that a homeowner gets the most out of their new plantation shutters and that they last for years to come.
