Most homes nowadays come with stock venetian blinds, made
with cheap flimsy material, and drawstrings that snag and tangle after just a
few uses.
To save you the headache of searching for something new to
add to your home windows, Just Add Shutters compiled a list of common things to
consider before adding shutter replacements to your home.
1. Light Control.
If your main concern, like most people when purchasing shades or blinds,
is to control the amount of sunlight coming into your apartment, make sure you
know your choices. Do you want blackout
shades, or light filtering shades, operable slats, or cellular shades that only
offer an “open view” when fully up?
2.
Insulation.
Adding the right blinds or shades can cut off up to 25% of your home
energy bill by lowering heating and cooling costs. Honeycomb cellular shades are the best choice
for keeping heat or cold inside, but draperies work great for interior heating
and cooling as well, and exterior shades work well for cooling outsie.
3.
Aesthetics.
At Just Add Shutters, we know shutters, blinds, shades, and draperies can make a huge impact on the
aesthetic value a home has on its guests or prospective buyers. Always make sure you consider the aesthetics
of the shades your buying in relation to the style of the rest of your home.
4.
Cost. We
know high end wood blinds or upper end cell shades can get pricey, that’s why
at Just Add Shutters, we also recommend faux wood blinds, pleated shades, and
honeycomb shades if you’re interested in doing your shutter replacement on a budget.
Just Add Shutters is located in Goodlettsville, TN. We specialize in all types of window treatments including shutters, shades, and blinds, custom blinds, cost friendly shutters, plantation shutters, interior shutters, wooden shutters, vinyl shutters and interior and exterior shutters.
