Is It Time To Change Your Window Treatments?
If you’re wondering whether it’s time for you to replace your window treatments, you might already be right. Maybe your current treatments seem out of style or don’t match your décor anymore. Or perhaps they aren’t working properly or you want something that’s more energy-efficient or better at stopping UV rays. Or maybe you just want a new look. At Altra Home Décor here in Phoenix, we can help you make the right choice for your home, needs, and budget! Read on to learn about some common problems, which can help you decide if you need new treatments or if you just need help fixing your current ones.
Broken or Faded Slats or Fabric
Older blinds and shades may start to show damage from harmful UV rays, such as cracking, warping, fading, and yellowing. Today, the more efficient models offer incredible UV protection for your home and themselves. If sun damage is a problem for your treatments, check out Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters and Everwood® Alternative Wood Blinds – both are guaranteed not to warp or yellow. For shades, consider Duette® Architella® Honeycomb Shades, which are made from a polyester fabric with a white backing facing the outside to eliminate fading-plus, they offer maximum energy efficiency with their honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb construction.
Safety and Convenience
If you have children or pets, home safety is probably a huge consideration for you. Which means that corded treatments might not be the best for your space. Hunter Douglas offers numerous cordless operating systems, including LiteRise™ and PowerView® Motorization. With PowerView, you can operate your blinds or shades remotely, even when you aren’t home, with the PowerView App on your mobile device or tablet.
Operating Problems
Even with only normal wear and tear, over time, blinds or shades might not operate properly. Sometimes, they can be repaired. If they can’t, it might be time for something new. We recommend Hunter Douglas Window Fashions. They offer the most comprehensive collection blinds, shades, and shutters available today. Best yet, they have a window covering option that is sure to meet anyone’s budget requirements!
