Blending Functionality with Style

Blinds are modern window treatments that add privacy to a room and block out unneeded sunlight. They generally have slats or louvres that have bands running through them to allow you to tilt the slats for light control and privacy. They are typically made from tough material such as vinyl or wood.

The orientation of the window blinds can be vertical or horizontal. There are many different types of blinds with a huge variety of styles, materials, colors and options from which to choose for your Cochrane and Calgary area home.

Types of Horizontal or Vertical Blinds

Wood Blinds

Wood blinds are made from real wood and are determined by the type of wood grain, natural color or stain. They are a classic choice that remains durable for years to come. They complement well with other wood furniture, flooring and trim.

Do you want a feel of natural beauty and warmth to you home? How about temperature regulation so that winter’s or summer’s temperature changes don’t bite as much? Wood blinds are a perfect option to these scenarios.

Faux Wood Blinds

Faux wood blinds are similar to wood blinds in appearance only. However, they are more affordable because they are made from PVC, vinyl and composite wood material. They provide a stylish alternative to wood blinds available in a broad assortment of colors. But please keep in mind that faux woods are generally heavier and should be a tilt only function especially in larger windows, which are common in Cochrane and Calgary homes.

Automated Blinds (Motorized Blinds)

Did you know you can conveniently tilt open or close your blinds with a touch of a button? You just need a remote control, press the button and voila! And you can do this in the comfort of the bed – just like switching off the bedside lamp, you won’t need to wake up and drag your feet to battle with the blind. Please keep in mind, however, that slatted blinds are available as tilt only with the automation – you have to manually lift the blind as they are generally too heavy for a motor to lift. With today’s technology you can also control some window coverings with your iPad, phone or other devices. Imagine controlling you blinds in your Cochrane or Calgary home while sitting on a sandy beach in some hot vacation spot!

Blinds by Location

Bedroom Blinds

Blackout blinds are perfect for bedroom windows. These light blocking blinds prevent intrusion of sunlight early morning or late evening and also light from streetlights and car headlights. They also help to provide a high degree of privacy, which is, of course, also preferred for the bedroom. They are not considered room darkening however due to the light that creeps in between the slats, so if you require more light control you will be better served with a room darkening shade.

Kitchen Blinds

Kitchen window blinds often need to be water resistant, easy to clean and durable. Faux wood blinds are resistant to moisture and are ideal for the kitchen where a fabric may soil easily. Because blinds in the kitchen may be situated across a counter, or over the sink, it is important to make sure that the blinds are be easily accessed, so considerations for length and positioning can help facilitate this issue. Also, the kitchen environment encounters a higher level of particles in the air including water and cooking oils, so choosing a blind that is easier to clean can help ease the cleaning process for years to come.

Office Blinds
