Why Consider Window Treatments?
Improve Energy Efficiency
The right window treatments can help trap heat in during the winter, and prevent temperature increases during the summer. By customizing your window coverings to your space and climate, you’ll also save on energy costs – sometimes drastically!
Maximize Natural Light
Ready to light up your life? Custom window coverings can help you maximize the amount of natural light in your space, without having to sacrifice privacy or style. By lowering your reliance on artificial lights, you’ll also lower energy use and costs.
Enhance Your View
Vancouver Island is such a beautiful place to live – why wouldn’t you want to be able to enjoy the view from any room in your home? Custom sheer weave or screen roller shades could be a great solution to keep your view intact and the sunlight under control.
Increase Your Privacy
Maintaining privacy is an important requirement for many windows, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice light quality or style. A top-down, bottom-up window covering is a great option. The upper level allows light, scenery, and sky to shine through, while the bottom level provides privacy.
Prevent Solar Glare & UVs
Glare caused by sunlight on your screens can put a hamper on your productivity, whether at work or at home. The right window treatments will help you to control how light enters and interacts with your space, preventing damaging to furniture and unwanted down-time.
Checklist: Planning Your Window Coverings
Answering a few questions can help make the process of choosing the right window coverings go smoothly. Here are some important things to consider when shopping for your custom window treatments.
- What is the purpose of the window coverings? Are you looking for privacy, light control, insulation, or purely decorative purposes? Understanding the primary function will help narrow down your options.
- What style do you prefer? Consider the overall aesthetic of your space. Do you favour a modern, minimalist look, or are you drawn to more traditional or ornate designs? Your choice should complement the existing decor.
- What type of material do you want? Window coverings come in various materials, such as fabric, wood, vinyl, and synthetic options. Each material has its own benefits, like durability, ease of cleaning, and temperature regulation.
- How much light control do you need? Think about the amount of light that enters your room at different times of day. Do you need blackout options for bedrooms, or are sheer fabrics more suitable for living areas?
- Does a motorized option make sense? Remote-controlled or app-controlled options are great for those hard-to-reach windows, or when mobility is a consideration.
- How easy are they to maintain? Some materials require more upkeep than others. If you have a busy lifestyle or small children, you may want to opt for low-maintenance options.
- Are there any special requirements? If you have specific needs, such as privacy, energy efficiency, or child safety features, make sure to consider these when shopping for your window coverings.
- Do you need to block UV rays? Sun can damage your furniture, floors, and artwork. It can also add unwanted glare to your TV and computer monitors. The style and materials used in your window coverings can help to account for these particular cases.
- What is your budget? Window treatments come in a wide range of options, as well as price ranges to suit all budgets. We'll work with you to meet your budget and provide you with great window covering solutions.
