Window coverings

Some of the considerations while purchasing window coverings

Low Maintenance Option: Horizontal aluminum, vinyl, PVC and composite blinds with standard braided cords and non-textured slats will be easy to clean, won't break and have extremely high resistance to sun bleaching. Please visit our Care and Cleaning section for additional information. Always consult the manufacturer of your product before cleaning.
Cloth Tapes: Although visually appealing, dust can collect on decorative cloth tapes, which may be difficult to clean. Please visit our Care and Cleaning section for additional information. Always consult the manufacturer of your product before cleaning.
Material Based Shades: Provide ambient light, but dust build up may limit the lifespan of this type of window covering. Please visit our Care and Cleaning section for additional information on keeping your window coverings looking beautiful for a long time. Always consult the manufacturer of your product before cleaning.
Metal (Aluminum) Blinds: Can be easily dusted and cleaned. Misuse may result in permanently bending, creasing of slats or oxidation of the finish. Please visit our Care and Cleaning section for additional information. Always consult the manufacturer of your product before cleaning.
Wood & Faux Wood Blinds: Slats that have a textured finishes such as sand blast or simulated wood grain can trap dust and dirt in the recesses of the texture. This can make leaning a time consuming process. Please visit our Care and Cleaning section for additional information. Always consult the manufacturer of your product before cleaning.
Vertical Blinds: Traditional bottom weights with clips may break and chains that can become entangled may not be appropriate for high traffic areas, children or pets. Please visit the Window Covering Safety Council’ website for more information about safety issues in the home. Their web site can be found on our Links page.
Cloth/Fabric Window Coverings: Can help maintain the temperature of a room, especially with older single pane windows.
Light Gap: this is the gap (space) between the windows covering material and your window casements. An indication of a quality product is a small gap or tight tolerances. How square your window is will also have an impact on the size and shape of the light gap.
Distortions: As with anything that is exposed to the sun and elements. Over time, all window covering products can be expected to fade, discolor, warp, twist, sag and generally breakdown. The higher the quality of a product, the longer the life span of the product and the longer the blind shade or shutter will protect your interior furnishings, decorations and fashions. Always ask about a products warranty in regards to what is covered and what is not covered and for how long. An indication of a quality product is the longevity of the warranties. General warranty information is provided below.
