The Top 10 Things You Need to Know Before You Buy a Plantation Shutter… Part 1

Posted by admin on

Provided by Better Blinds of Ocean View & Millsboro, DE

These are the top ten things to know before you buy a plantation shutter. You can increase the home’s value, but there’s more!

Plantation shutters are true class and quality. Many homeowners love plantation shutters because they are elegant and sophisticated. They also hunt for the right stain to match their decor.

Plantation shutters is a term you may have heard or seen. Because of their similarities to antebellum plantations in America’s Southeast, wood shutters have been called “plantation shutters”. This type of shutter is best suited for larger windows with the largest louvers.

Below is a list of the top 10 things you need to know before buying a plantation shutter. These are essential aspects to be aware of before you make the purchase of the most attractive window coverings available today.

1) LOUVER SIZE CHANGES THE ENTIRE LOOK

It is important to know what the space should feel like after you have finished. Are you seeking a modern feel with large, open windows? Or a classic feel with double-hung shutters that give the room a more traditional look? There are many design options available, and we can help you navigate the costs and find the best sales.

2) INSTALLATION MATTERS FOR MANY REASONS

To ensure that shutters are installed according to manufacturer specifications, a qualified installer is required. This could void your warranty. Wood shutters require attention to detail. To avoid warpage and pinched hinges, ensure that the frames are square and straight.

The shutter will absorb 100% of the UV rays from your window. The shutter can be difficult to install. If the installer is not skilled enough to level the frame properly, it will eventually bend to the new form, causing cracks and warpage. By choosing a dealer that has factory-certified installers, you can avoid this. It is a small price to pay for the 25–50-year life expectancy of your shutter, which is fully covered by the manufacturer’s Limited Warranty.

3) SMALL UPGRADES CAN MAKE A BIG IMPACT ON THE FINAL LOOK

You can make your shutter look even better with a few inexpensive upgrades. Shutter pulls, shutter locks and hidden hinges are just a few of the options. These upgrades can be purchased for around $25 per door (hidden hinges cost more). The brushed nickel finish looks great with all whites and off-whites. It also pops well when you put on stained wood shutters. The shutter is protected from prying eyes and children, while the pulls protect it from an adult who may not be able to open it properly.

4) MATERIALS THAT MATTER IN PLANTATION SHUTTER CONSTRUCTION

Although wood is the most common material for plantation shutter constructions, there are many areas where it is not the best. Wood shutters (or faux) are not recommended for the garage, attic, or bathroom. They are susceptible to humidity and moisture. There are many options available for these areas. These include ABS polymer louver shutters like the popular “Woodlore Plus” shutter from NORMAN. The “Premium Polyresin 3”, the shutter from Eclipse, is the most durable shutter available.

5) PLANTATION SHUTTERS MAY BE MOTORIZED

Motorized window coverings have made it possible to increase your options in 2018 with the advancements in motorization. Motorized window coverings offer many benefits. They are more reliable, cost-effective, efficient, and last longer than single-charge batteries. My blog “Top 10 Reasons to Motorize in 2021” explains all aspects of motorization in a concise, thorough manner. Please take a look.

Motorized shutters can be set to open or close at a specific time. Imagine waking up to your automated shutters in bed. They can be programmed to close during heat. By blocking UV rays from every day, this protects your carpets, wood floors, and fabrics. It is easy to program and use the remote. You can either control each shutter individually or all at once. To truly believe this system, you must watch the video of Norman’s “Remote Tilt”.

2022 Bedroom Window Treatments: Blackout Blinds & Shades

Posted by admin on

2022 Bedroom Window Treatments: Blackout Blinds & Shades

You can transform your bedroom into a sanctuary with the right window treatment. What kind of bedroom shades are best? One of the most important things to think about is the shade’s ability to block out light when you need complete darkness. Also consider temperature control as a factor, as well as noise reduction.

Blackout blinds & shades can be beneficial to anyone, including the sleep-deprived, night-shift workers, and home theater owners. However, those who don’t like blackout curtains might choose Blackout Blinds & Shades. Experts believe that blackout curtains are best for those who have room to darken, not true blackout.

While good Blackout Blinds & Shades can block as much light as they claim, proper installation is crucial. Even the most effective Blackout Blinds & Shades can be affected by the “light halo,” a phenomenon where small amounts of light seep into the shade’s sides. Many professionals found that cellular shades are the best at blocking light.

These shades have either a single layer or a double layer of hollow cells. They not only block light but also provide insulation and noise reduction. You may also want to consider an inside mount where the shade hangs within the window frame, covering only the actual glass pane.

Roller shades allow light through the gap between the mounting hardware, the shade’s top and the shade. This style will not achieve complete blackout. You’ll need to have them mounted above the window frame. To keep out the light, woven-wood shades will need a liner. They come in many sizes and colors. The shade may not be as effective in your home if it is smaller in size or color.

Looks Attractive

Your blackout shades will be used every day so make sure you love the look. Shades with modern designs, attractive materials, and have a cordless lift mechanism are preferred.

It’s a smart idea to keep your children and pets away from your shades. It is possible to tear a shade by tugging on it with excessive force or in other directions. Shades can be easily damaged or scratched by cats as well as your kids.

Blind Maintenance

You can dust most shades by hand or using the attachment on a vacuum with a low power setting. Spot-cleaning can be done with a sponge, mild detergent, and lukewarm to warm water. It is best to follow the cleaning instructions that came with your shades.

Smart shades and blinds are energy-efficient and more convenient. They’re also great for people with difficult to reach windows. However, most blinds come at a high price.

There are many bedroom blinds, shades, and sheers available that will help you create the right atmosphere for a restful night. Our window-treatment experts can help you choose the right materials and colors, as well as expert measurement and installation. Call today for a free in-home consultation.

Kitchen Window Treatment Essentials: Things to Consider

Posted by admin on

Provided by Better Blinds of Ocean View, DE

Kitchen window treatments are a great way to add softness and décor…

to a space as functional as a kitchen. Shades and curtains can add a splash of color, texture, or pattern to a room while controlling natural light and privacy. It is important to choose kitchen window treatments that are appropriate for your personal style and daily needs. These are the four factors to consider when selecting kitchen window treatments that will give your cooking area a professional, personal look.

Kitchen Window treatments can be used as accents…

Hanging floor-length curtains panels can be used to add color and pattern to areas beyond the kitchen’s work area, such as in breakfast nooks. A colorful swag draped above a single window is another way to make a bold statement. When lowered, roman and roller shades show texture and patterns.

Static valances or cornices highlight windows that you wish to draw attention to. To give your kitchen window treatments the best decorative effect, use fabrics with eye-catching colors and designs. You can also have fun with trims and tassels as well as fringe and bold banding.

Kitchen Window Treatments can prevent damage to your home…

Our bodies and homes can be damaged by the sun, especially UVA and UVB. The direct, harsh sunlight can increase interior temperatures, dry out fabrics, dullen cabinet finishes, fade wood floors and cause a drying effect on leather. Window coverings should be advertised as having sun protection to protect your kitchen. Solar shades and cellular shades will show how much UVA and UVB radiation they block while still letting in light.

Optical window treatments such as curtains or blackout shades can provide complete control over light. Shutters and blinds made of wood, vinyl or metal can block the sun when closed. You can add sunlight-filtering properties to your windows for extra protection. You can either install new windows with a low E coating or line existing windowpanes using an adhesive or static-cling material.

It is important to keep your kitchen window treatments clean…

Anywhere you place your stove or sink, food, cooking oil, and dishwater will absorb splatters. It doesn’t matter what material you choose; it will make it much easier to maintain your kitchen window treatments.

You can easily launder and rehang most curtains and fabric valances. Vinyl blinds, solar shades, shutters, and vinyl blinds can also be washed with soapy water.

It can be more difficult to wash real wood blinds. They need to be cleaned using wood cleaner. Dry-cleaning is required for elaborate fabric treatments such as Roman shades and panels with trim or lining. To keep cellular shades dust-free, they should be vacuumed only.

The kitchen is the heart of family gatherings…

and the place where all the fun seems to be happening. You can make your kitchen more welcoming with window treatments. Before you decide on your kitchen window treatments, consider where they are located.

Faux wood blinds, faux wooden shutters or vinyl roll shades might be a good option if your shades are near the stove, sink or other food prep areas. They’re durable and can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth.

Our window treatment experts can help you choose the right materials and colors, as well as expert measurement and installation. Call us today for a free, in-home consultation.
