Find The Best Window Treatments For Your Wisconsin Home 

The right window treatments can change everything! You'll find many different types of window treatments represented in our local stores, including:

• Shutters are solid window coverings with slats that can be opened and closed. Made from wood, vinyl. or composites, shutters can be used alone or with your favorite draperies. Plantation shutters with the widest slats are one of the more popular varieties. 
• Blinds are made from wood, faux wood, aluminum, or vinyl, and can be horizontal or vertical. We love blinds for their ability to control natural light and protect your privacy. 
• Shades are usually made of fabrics and can be raised or lowered to adjust coverage levels. There are many styles to choose from. including Roman, cellular, honeycomb, roller, and solar shades. Heavier shades provide the strongest insulation. 
• Drapes, or curtains, are fabric panels that hang from a rod fastened above your window.  They can be made from sheer, light fabrics, or heavy, opaque ones, with a whole range of textures, colors, and patterns represented. 

Which Type of Window Treatment Is Best For Me?

Before you make your final selection, it's important to have a good idea of your long-term goals. Are you simply looking to rev up your style?  Are you hoping to keep your flooring from fading?  Or, are you mainly concerned about saving on your heating bill this winter? 

Here are a few tips to make the most informed choices:

• Function Over Fashion: Are you trying to get the most out of the sunlight hours for the sake of your houseplants? Or, are you trying to prevent the sun from streaming into your computer room? 
• Privacy, Please:  Do you need something opaque to cover your windows in the master bedroom or bathroom? Or are you less concerned about privacy and more focused on letting the light shine in? 
• Energy Efficiency: If you're worried about rising utility costs, consider a window treatment known for its insulating qualities, such as blinds or drapes. 
• What's Your Type: Your window treatments should complement your room's overall style. Fancy draperies set a more formal tone, while sleek blinds bring a more contemporary look and feel. 
• What's Your Size: Are your windows on the larger side? If so, you'll probably want to choose treatments that are easy to open or close- such as wide-slatted blinds or curtains. For arches or bay windows, shades and shutters tend to fit best. 
• Can You Clean It:  Do you need something easy to clean? Is durability a main concern? Remember, some windows require more upkeep than others, so always be honest with our specialists during your consultation. 

Installing Your Window Treatments 

Installation options will vary depending on the type of window treatments you choose.  Certain window treatments, like curtains, are relatively easy to hang up with everyday household tools, while custom blinds and shades might fare better with professional installation. 

Professional installation is a wonderful way to ensure the perfect fit and the utmost function. Our experts will measure your windows, taking care to consider your style, space, and interior climate into consideration. Your journey to perfect windows starts with your personalized project consultation.
