What Makes Modern Window Treatments Better?
There's no stopping the march of progress. Whether it's medicine, technology, fashion, or home design, people are always innovating, improving, and refining the things we use in our everyday lives. That statement holds true even for things like blinds and shades. Although the changes in window treatments isn't as obvious as the transition from old tube-style televisions to flat-screen high-definition panels, the industry has seen some improvement improvements and advancements in recent years.
At Blindster, we're proud to offer some of the highest-quality blinds and shades, all of which are the newest models. It's our goal to provide our customers with the latest and greatest, so that they can enjoy all the benefits of modern window treatments.
If you're on the fence about upgrading or replacing your aging window coverings—or you're just curious about what's changed in the world of blinds and shades recently—check out the following reasons why modern window treatments are better than ones from previous eras.
The materials used in many window treatments manufactured today are lighter, stronger, more durable, and easier to clean than ever before. Consider the beauty and UV-ray blocking capabilities of the solar screen fabrics used in our line of solar shades, the natural and man-made fibers used in our bamboo shades, and the durable and lightweight composite materials used in our faux wood blinds and plantation shutters.
Every year, consumers demand greater customization and the ability to tailor products to their preferences and lifestyles. Window treatments are no exception to this demand, and all our blinds and shades have a multitude of options to help you get exactly what you want. Choose from features like top-down/bottom-up operation, continuous loop and cordless lift options, privacy and blackout liners, edge binding, and cassette valances. In addition, our custom ordering process means that you can get the perfect fit for your doors and windows—no more one size fits all guessing games.
Color schemes, textures, and patterns quickly fall in and out of fashion. The blinds or shades you purchased 20 years ago may look hopelessly outdated today. In addition, they also may have faded or simply no longer match your home's current décor and style. Thankfully, there are more options than ever for personalizing the appearance of your window treatments (like our zebra dual shades!). Many of our blinds and shades have a dozen or more colors, with some having more than 30 options to choose from.
Before the rise of online shopping, getting new window treatments was a hassle. You had to flip through potentially outdated catalogs or drive to a store or warehouse and look at a small selection of blinds and shades under than less-than-ideal lighting conditions and with a high-pressure salesman guiding you along the way. With online ordering, you can take your time and easily sort through dozens of window treatments, including various options and colors. And once you find a few that you like, you can order free samples to help you further refine your search.
Battery and remote-powered shades have been around for a while, but they were previously niche products that simply weren't practical for most homeowners. But advances in technology and materials have made these shades more affordable for homeowners, and now they're at a price point that's comparable to standard shades. Motorized shades are the ultimate in convenience and ease of operation, and a single remote can control up to 15 shades, making it simple to control all the shades in a large room or even throughout your entire home.
Part of being an informed and savvy consumer is doing your research before you make a purchase. That includes things like checking out the reviews of the products you're thinking about purchasing and carefully reviewing product information and technical specifications.
In the past, buying window treatments was like taking a shot in the dark, as you had no way of knowing about peculiarities specific to a model or whether it had a major flaw that wasn't immediately noticeable. But buying blinds and shades today means you have quick and easy access to a wealth of information before you put up your hard-earned money.
