AFFORDABLE WINDOW BLINDS: CHOOSING THE RIGHT WINDOW TREATMENT

 

When you’re improving your Milton home, you’re working on a budget—who isn’t? In order to make the most of it, you want to keep your improvements as affordable as possible, while getting the kind of quality that you need. When it comes to choosing affordable, but valuable, window blinds, you have a few options. Most of the cost of your blinds will be determined by material type, after all, you can’t just skimp on getting smaller blinds than you need like you can with some other products. If you don’t want to wait, but still want to see how it will all look in your space, contact us to speak to one of our skilled designers about an in-home consultation. If you’re wanting to learn more first, here is a quick guide on the affordability of different blind products.

 

Wooden Window Blinds

There is always something so charming and natural about adding real wood to your home, isn’t there? However, when it comes to affordability, wooden blinds are not exactly your best option. Real wood can be expensive, although it does depend on what variety of wood you’re after. Further, wood might not last as long as you expect, because it swells and shrinks based on the humidity of your home.

If you love the real-wood look but you want something more affordable, you can compromise on the faux wood. It doesn’t quite capture the same charm, but it is still a lovely option.

 

Vinyl or PVC Blinds

Plastic-like materials, including vinyl and PVC, are the more affordable window blind option. These materials are cheaper to make and manufacture into blinds. Plus, they also provide a great deal of durability and aren’t as impacted by moisture changes as wood is. That means you can also delay replacing them for a longer period of time, which saves you money too. We offer a few options in this range and can point you to the most valuable option for you.

 

Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds are known as an affordable way to cover things like your patio door and the windows next to it. Vertical blinds tend to be thicker than horizontal ones, but they are still made out of the same materials. Vinyl and PVC options will be affordable, faux wood are a little less so, and real wood will be the highest-priced item of them all, but is often worth it for those who want it.

INSTALLING COMMERCIAL WINDOW SHADES FOR YOUR BUSINESS

 

The process of getting commercial window shades installed in your Milton business may seem a bit more complex than an installation at your home. You need to consider style and function, but also your business goals. And, there may be other stakeholders you need to bring in on the decision between commercial blinds and shades, or other key decisions in the process. The team at Milton Blinds can make it simple for you in two ways:

1. Contact us to speak with one of our design experts to book an in-office consultation to take out any guesswork about if your choice will look right in your
2. Or, if you want to learn more and take a slower approach, just follow this step-by-step guide.

 

Identify Where You Need Window Coverings

Where in your business environment do you need coverings? Most of the windows in your property will likely need some kind of commercial shade. Especially considering those windows that might put glare onto a computer screen or someone’s workspace. Also, pay special attention to the windows right next to where you will seat customers or where they will wait. Those are the spots light and privacy control matter most.

 

Consider a Consultation

Any window expert with experience working on commercial properties can help you make better decisions for your commercial window shades. They can help you choose which windows need coverings and, most importantly, which type. At your front windows, you may need something which doesn’t block onlookers’ views of your business at all, to help bring them in. Or, for privacy reasons, you might want to entirely block out the view from these windows. Commercial window covering experts can help you.

 

Which Style and Color Works?

Once you’ve narrowed down on your type of window covering you also have options for styles and colors. The catalog can be quite large, so take your time looking through it but also focus on your priorities. Your window coverings need to do more than just function, they also need to contribute to the atmosphere you need to cultivate. Your atmosphere might be relaxed, modern, energizing, or something else entirely.

 

Consider Motorization

Motorization is one of the most important advances in commercial motorized shades. Your staff may not have time to constantly adjust the blinds or shades based on the height of the sun. It may even disturb dining customers to adjust them. Motorization can do it automatically, potentially from anywhere in your business, depending on the size of your space and the sophistication of the blinds you choose.

Commercial shades look better and last longer when installed by professionals. There’s no getting around that fact. But you’re in luck, we can help.
