If you’ve just installed new windows, it’s time to go shopping for new window treatments! Of course, there are so many different types of window treatments on the market that homeowners often find this process confusing. Here are some frequently asked questions about window treatments, along with the answers.

  • Why should I have an in-store consultation instead of just shopping online? We’re all so used to doing everything online that it may seem easier to shop for window treatments that way too. However, making an appointment to discuss your window treatments with design professionals is a good idea, because you’re more likely to end up with a look that you’ll love. What’s more, visiting the store to shop for window coverings allows you to see them in person, touch them, and better understand what you’re buying.
  • Why is an at-home consultation necessary when I’ve already had a consultation in the store? During an in-home consultation, the team will measure the windows precisely. They’ll also help you determine if the window treatments you’ve chosen are the best option for your home. It’s important to do a consultation in the space where the window coverings will be going.
  • What is the best kind of window treatment on the market? This is a question that really cannot be answered for you. The best window treatment for your space is one that will match your home’s style and color scheme, and that will fit with your aesthetic vision for your home. Think about what you’re trying to do in terms of decorative appeal, as well as what’s important to you in terms of functionality.
  • Which window treatments can help improve energy efficiency? There are several different types of window treatments that can accomplish this, typically by blocking sunlight or insulating the windows. Blackout shades, cellular shades, shutters, and blinds are all excellent examples of window treatments that help provide privacy and prevent heat from entering the home, which helps to maintain the indoor temperature.
  • Why should I have my window coverings professionally installed? You could, of course, install your window treatments yourself. However, when you make an investment in quality window coverings, professional installation by experienced installers just makes sense. You don’t want your beautiful new window treatments to look less than perfect because of an amateurish installation.
