The window blinds in Vancouver that you choose not only impact the interior ambience but the design of your home as well. You want to make sure you’re really taking the time to choose window treatments that suit your needs, the problems you face on a daily basis as well as seamlessly fit into the style of your space.
There are many factors to consider that all affect what you can buy. Factors like the style of your windows, their shape, and their size all directly correlate to your decision-making process. For example, extra tall or large windows will require blinds that are more lightweight.
Let’s take a look at the window solutions that each type of window needs.
Hard-to-Reach Windows & Skylights
Any windows that are difficult to reach and operate like skylights or windows that are simply too high, require motorized window blinds. They’re easy to customize to windows of many shapes and sizes and allow you to operate them with the touch of a button. Have kids and pets? These are great solutions.
Large Windows
Extra-large windows, will ideally require honeycomb blinds or another type of shade that’s very lightweight in nature. This will reduce tension on the mechanism within the blind and make sure your window treatments last for years to come.
Light-Softening Needs
If you prefer to have softer light instead of a dark environment, opt for light-softening solutions made from fabric.
- Roman shades
- Roller shades
- Solar shades
- Sheers
- Drapes
- Curtains
Sliding Glass Doors
Particularly wide windows and sliding glass doors are great candidates for vertical blinds as they are much easier to operate and offer the ideal structure. They come in a wide variety of sizes so it’s all based on preference – you can opt for small slats or wider slats as well as choose from a variety of colours, textures and finishes.
High-Humidity Rooms
High humidity rooms are prone to mould and mildew growth, so wooden or fabric solutions aren’t the best choice for kitchens and bathrooms. Fabric will also constantly remain damp, absorb smells and stain very easily.
Go for moisture-resistant options like:
- Faux-wood
- Vinyl
- PVC
- Composite
- Aluminum
