Should You Install Blinds, Shades, or Shutters in Your Home?
Homeowners often feel overwhelmed by the many types of window treatments on the market. Here are some key facts about blinds vs. shades vs. shutters that can help you figure out which will best suit your needs.
Blinds
Blinds are versatile enough to be used in any room and on many different types of windows.Blinds with wide slats work better on large windows, while blinds with narrow slats are appropriate for small windows.
Knox Blinds offers durable blinds crafted with natural and faux wood and aluminum. Faux wood offers the beauty of real wood, but it’s not susceptible to moisture damage. That makes faux wood an excellent option for rooms that tend to have high levels of humidity, such as kitchens and bathrooms. Aluminum can complement a room with contemporary décor.
Shades
If you’d prefer something a little different, you might want to install shades. They can block out light and help you lower your utility bills.
Cellular, or honeycomb, shades have small air pockets that provide insulation. They can help keep a room at a moderate temperature so you can spend less on heating and cooling.
We also offer roller shades with numerous styles and textures. If you’d like to reduce glare, save money on your utility bills, and protect your furnishings from the sun’s harmful UV rays, you might be drawn to our SOLAR roller shades.
