The Benefits Roller Shades Offer over Curtains

Choosing the perfect window coverings is about finding something that meets all of your aesthetic and functional requirements. Roller shades are easily able to meet all of your needs to create a beautiful accent for any décor. Keep reading to see why roller shades are a better option than curtains:

• Complete Light Control

Curtains just cannot compare to roller shades when it comes to blocking light from your home. You can choose roller shades made from different materials, allowing you to manipulate natural light and affect the look of your home décor. With window shades, you can completely block out the light from certain rooms, like the bedroom. You can also choose a material that always allows a little bit of light in, which will help in the kitchen and other rooms that benefit from natural light.

• Easy to Clean

Roller shades offer you ease of maintenance. They can be easily dusted and cleaned to keep their visual flow and appeal. Curtains, however, often drag on the floor, where they collect dust and other particles that require heavy cleaning. Make your life easier by choosing roller shades for your home.

• Potential for Motorization

One of the greatest benefits of roller shades is their potential to be motorized. This added feature makes it easier than ever to open and close your shades. Motorized roller shades allow you to find functional window treatments for hard-to-reach windows. They also help you control your shades with minimal effort, making them perfect for those with mobility issues. Talk to your window blind company about motorized roller shades that give you all the power.

How to Care for Your Motorized Window Treatments

Motorized window coverings offer you a simple way to control the light and change the aesthetic of each room. Whether you have motorized roller shades or window blinds, it is important to properly care for them to keep them working well. The following tips help you keep your window treatments in top condition:

• Include them in Your Cleaning Routine

All window treatments are susceptible to dust. Prevent potentially harmful particles from polluting your indoor air quality by dusting your window coverings at least once a week. If you have motorized blinds, make sure to clean both sides of the slats. Regular dusting will keep your window treatments looking and functioning better.

• Change the Batteries

Your motorized window treatments will either use a battery or an AC motor as their power source. If your roller shades are controlled by a battery, make sure you have a few extra batteries in the house. You want to be able to replace the batteries as soon as they stop working so you can continue to enjoy their ease of use.

• Take them to the Window Blind Company

Sometimes, your window treatments need care that is beyond your ability. At least once a year, have the window blind company do a professional cleaning. This will extend the life of your wood window blinds or shades. If there is a problem with your motor, the window blind company also handles repairs. With your effort and their expertise, you can easily care for any kind of motorized window coverings.

Mounting Window Treatments

Window coverings add a finishing touch to any space. Before you start to measure for mounting, choose a style of roller shades or window blinds that complements your décor.

Decide whether you want an outside or an inside mount for your custom window coverings. For outside mounting, measure the width of the window just outside of the casings. It is up to you to determine the height you want. For inside mountings, measure the width of the window from the inside edges of the trim. Measure each window individually.

The Beauty of Diffused Lighting Created by Roller Shades

With the right window coverings, you can have complete control over the amount of natural light in each room. Roller shades take this control even farther, allowing you to use light as an integral part of your interior design. Keep reading to see how these window treatments can update your décor multiple times in one day:

• Different Texture, Different Effect

As you start to select roller shades for each room, consider the available textures to find one that gives you the perfect amount of light. You should always keep the natural light flowing freely in rooms like the kitchen. With a material that is made of twenty percent polyester and eighty percent PVC, you can enjoy a clear stream of light during daylight hours. Choose shades made from 100 percent polyester that block out the light completely for the bedroom so you can sleep peacefully—even during the day.

• Colours of Light

If you prefer, you can choose a different colour roller shade for each room to play with the natural lighting. By diffusing the light through different colours, you create new and amazing effects throughout the home. Whether you prefer darker tones, like ebony or Versailles, or prefer to lighten up your room with chalk or crystal shades, colour brings new dimension to your interior design. Talk to the experts at the window blind company about your colour preferences to get the roller shades you want.

• Easy Operation

If you motorize your roller shades, you can easily control the amount of light in each room at any time of the day. With a simple press of a button, you can filter the light so it gives you a new take on your design aesthetic. Natural light is a beautiful and functional way to improve the look of your home, and motorized shades help you do it.
