Blackout Window Treatments for Bedrooms & Media Rooms

Light control is one of the primary reasons why homeowners invest in new window treatments. Keeping light out is especially important in bedrooms and media rooms. Knox Blinds offers blackout window treatments in a variety of stylish designs.

Why You Should Install Blackout Window Treatments in Your Home

All window treatments block out light to some extent. If you work the night shift and you sleep during the day, ordinary blinds or shades might not be able to block out enough sunlight to darken the room. That can make it hard for you to get restful sleep during daylight hours.

Sunlight can also make it hard for a young child to nap during the day. Not getting enough sleep can make a child cranky and irritable and lead to conflicts with parents and siblings.

In a room where family members gather to watch movies, complete darkness is ideal. Light from neighbors’ houses, streetlights, or headlights can create glare and detract from the home theater experience.

With blackout window treatments, you can avoid those sorts of problems. You and other members of your family will be able to sleep soundly and watch films without distractions.

How to Find Durable, High-Quality Blackout Window Treatments

Knox Blinds offers a wide variety of window treatments that can block out light to different degrees. We sell several types of blackout window treatments, including:

All our window treatments are crafted with durable materials and built with longevity in mind. When you buy window treatments from Knox Blinds, you’re making an investment that will serve you well for years to come.

You won’t just benefit from light reduction. You’ll also save money on your utility bills. Blocking out sunlight can keep your house cooler in the summer and let you run your air conditioner less. Closing window treatments during the winter can prevent air leakage. That means you’ll be able to run your furnace less, maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, and lower your heating costs.

How to Get Help Selecting Blackout Window Treatments

We know that choosing new shades for your house can be challenging. It might seem like a simple task at first, but the number of options can make it feel overwhelming.

Traditional ways of shopping can make things even more difficult. When you look at window treatments in a store, it can be hard to picture how they would look in your house. When you look at products online, the color that you see on your screen might not be their actual color.

This is why Knox Blinds provides free in-home consultations. By shopping at home, you can eliminate uncertainty and anxiety and know that you’re making the right choice.

One of our consultants can show you samples of our blackout window treatments and answer any questions you have. You’ll get to see how different styles and colors look alongside your paint and furniture so you can choose the best option.

Best Blinds for Bathrooms: Moisture-Resistant Options

If you’re searching for new blinds for your bathroom, they should be stylish, durable, and able to handle water and humidity. Knox Blinds sells blinds for bathrooms that won’t get damaged by moisture and will last for years.

Choose the Right Material for Your New Blinds

When selecting blinds for bathrooms, focus first on the material they’re made of. Some window treatments would look beautiful in your bathroom, but they wouldn’t last long.

Natural wood is durable, but it’s no match for the high levels of humidity that are common in bathrooms. Just like hardwood flooring can get warped if it gets wet, wooden blinds can get damaged by moisture.

That doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy the timeless beauty of wood in your bathroom. It just means that you have to choose a moisture-resistant alternative.

Knox Blinds offers faux-wood blinds that are as beautiful as natural wood. They so closely resemble real wood that it’s virtually impossible to tell the difference. Faux-wood blinds won’t get damaged by moisture, which makes them an excellent option for a bathroom.

Choose the Right Design and Color

There’s more to consider than just material. Blinds come with slats of varying sizes. Large slats are suitable for large windows, while narrow slats are better for smaller windows. If the proportions are off, the blinds can detract from your bathroom’s overall appearance.

The color must fit your bathroom’s décor. If you shop in a store, you might think you’ve found the perfect blinds. When you install them, however, you might realize that the blinds don’t match your paint color as well as you thought they would.

Shopping for window treatments online also has drawbacks. The way a color appears can differ from one device to another. If you order blinds online, you might find that their actual color is not what you expected at all.

Get Blinds That Fit Your Bathroom Windows Perfectly

Brick-and-mortar stores and online retailers offer an impressive selection of blinds, but most are designed for windows in a handful of standard sizes. If your bathroom has a window in an uncommon size, you don’t have to settle for blinds that don’t fit right.

The team at Knox Blinds can create window treatments that are customized to fit precisely. That means you won’t have to worry about gaps that could compromise your privacy.

Light-Filtering Shades That Balance Privacy & Natural Light

If you’re planning to install new window treatments, you’re most likely concerned about privacy, light control, or both. With light-filtering shades, you’ll be able to protect your privacy, keep your loved ones safe, and let in just the right amount of sunlight.

Choose Shades That Provide the Ideal Amount of Light Control

Customers have a variety of needs and preferences. That’s why companies that sell window treatments offer light-filtering shades that block out light to varying degrees.

If you work at night and sleep during the day, or if you have an infant or young child who takes naps during the day, you’ll want to block out as much sunlight as possible. In that case, you’ll need light-filtering shades that are designed to darken a room.

Perhaps you want to block out some sunlight without making a room dark. For example, you might work from home and want to reduce glare so you can use a computer without straining your eyes. If so, you’ll need shades that can filter out some sunlight while still letting in enough natural light for you to work.

Select Window Treatments That Protect Your Privacy

Knox Blinds offers several types of shades that can block out sunlight and enhance your privacy. Those include:

Cellular shades can be installed so that all or part of a window is covered. That can give you the flexibility you need to balance light control and privacy.

Roller shades can be raised and lowered to let in light when you want it and block it out when you don’t. If you want to brighten a room while maintaining your privacy, you can select roller shades that will cover the windows completely without darkening the room.

Roman shades are another excellent option. You’ll be able to adjust them as needed to control light and protect your privacy. Their textured design can add depth and visual interest to your home’s décor.

Woven wood shades can shield your house from the sun’s rays or let some light in while protecting your privacy. We offer woven wood shades in an array of finishes.  

Find the Right Light-Filtering Shades for Your House

When you’re shopping for new window treatments, you’ll have to balance multiple priorities: light control, privacy, style, and cost. At Knox Blinds, we want to make the process of choosing window treatments as easy as possible. That’s why we provide free in-home consultations.

You’ll get to meet with a consultant at a time that’s convenient for you, look at samples of our light-filtering shades, see how they would look in your home, and ask questions. That will allow you to save time and shop with confidence. Contact us today at (865)544-8339 to schedule an appointment.

Custom Window Treatments Designed to Fit Your Home Perfectly

New window treatments can help you protect your family’s privacy, control the temperature in your house, lower your utility bills, and enhance your home’s décor.

How Window Treatments Can Save You Money and Protect Your Privacy

Blinds, plantation shutters, shades, and draperies can block out sunlight and keep your house from getting too hot. By closing the window treatments, you can maintain a comfortable temperature and avoid running the air conditioner constantly during the summer.

During the winter, you can cover the windows to keep cold air out and retain heat. That simple action can allow you to run your furnace less and save money on heating fuel.

Window treatments can help keep your home and your family safe. Covering the windows can prevent others from seeing what kinds of valuables you own, what you and your family are doing, and when your house is unoccupied.

Why It’s Crucial for Window Treatments to Fit Properly

For window treatments to do their job, they must fit your windows correctly. If they don’t, you can have gaps that let sunlight in and allow a room to heat up in the summer. In the winter, poorly fitting window treatments can lead to drafts. In either case, you’ll have trouble keeping your home at a consistent temperature, and you might have to spend a small fortune on monthly utility bills.

Window treatments that don’t fit right can also lead to privacy and safety concerns. Even small gaps can make it possible for someone to eavesdrop on your family or see valuables inside your house.

Why You Should Invest in Custom Window Treatments

If your window coverings don’t fit right, they won’t be able to provide the benefits they should. They can also detract from your home’s appearance and give guests a negative impression. If you’re going to invest money in new window treatments, they should fit your windows perfectly.

Home improvement stores and online retailers offer a wide assortment of window treatments, but they’re designed for windows in standard sizes. If you have one or more windows that are unusually tall or in non-standard shapes, you’ll need custom window treatments.

The team at Knox Blinds can work with you to design window treatments that fit precisely. We’ll start by scheduling an in-home consultation, where you’ll get to see samples of our products. Those include:

You’ll have an opportunity to learn about the benefits of different window treatments, compare various styles and colors in the room where you want to install them, and get quotes. Call (865)544-8339 today to schedule an appointment.
