Understanding Window Treatment Types
If you’re just starting your window treatment search, you’ve probably come across a vast number of terms. Our industry is packed with them! So, at Treasure Coast Window Fashions here in Stuart, Florida, we thought we’d put a bit of definition behind some of the names, to help our customers keep them straight. Check them out below, and let us know if you have any additional questions or if you’d like to see any of the products in person.
Roller Shades
Great for minimalist styles, Designer Roller Shades from Hunter Douglas work well with just about any décor, offering a sleek aesthetic and clean lines. Available in a large fabric selection, they can complement just about any room, from living rooms to bedrooms. Plus, they’re available in a number of light-filtering options with minimal light gaps on the sides. Plus, especially if your room gets lots of direct sunlight, you’ll love the UV protection that roller shades can bring.
Roman Shades
Simple yet alluring, the Vignette® Modern Roman Shade is made from one piece of fabric that folds as it lifts. With no exposed rear cords, beautiful fabrics, and a clean, contemporary look, these beauties will grace just about any room and any style.
Cellular Shades
Made with a unique honeycomb-shaped design, (so they’re also known as “honeycomb shades”), cellular shades are best known for their insulating properties. The pocket-like construction of the Duette® Cellular Shade helps keep outside air out and inside air in, which can help reduce energy bills, no matter the season. On top of that, that same pocket construction is also good for absorbing sound.
Interior Shutters
Classic yet modern, plantation shutters can add elegance, sophistication, and definition to a room. Many times, interior shutters can even help with a home’s resale value, garnering great return on investment. Through Hunter Douglas, you can find several types of shutters, including Heritance® Hardwood Shutters, Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters, and NewStyle® Composite Shutters. With benefits from stain variety to ability to withstand UV rays, each brings something great to the table.
Valences and Cornices
To complete a window’s look, a valence or cornice might do just the trick. Valances are more casual than cornices. They’re made of fabric draped across the window top, adding warmth and texture to the window design. Much more flexible than cornices, valances offer a wide range of styling options; they come in a vast number of patterns and colors and can be ruffled or pleated to suit a look. More solidly made, cornices are great for more formal rooms and looks. They can offer a very refined feel, with a structured design. They’re made of wood or fiberboard, and you have them upholstered or painted to match your room’s aesthetics.
