We tell you the 5 most popular window treatments for your new home.

In our latest blog we research the best window treatments for your home. Choosing the right blinds can enhance the appeal of your home, providing a finished look to your windows. With a wide range of styles, materials, and colours to choose from, you can easily find window blinds that complement the design of your home and fit your personal style. 

They also provide privacy and light control, allowing you to regulate the amount of natural light entering your home. As an added bonus, window blinds can help improve energy efficiency by reducing the amount of heat loss or gain in your home, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and reducing your energy bills. In a time of increasing energy bills any small reduction is welcome. 

Faux Wood Blinds 

Faux Wood Blinds, also known as “fake wood” or “imitation wood” blinds, are a type of window covering made of composite materials such as PVC, vinyl, or a mixture of both. They are designed to mimic the look of real wood blinds but are more affordable and durable. Unlike real wood, faux wood blinds do not warp or crack in high humidity rooms, making them suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and other damp areas. Faux wood blinds are easy to clean and maintain, and can be wiped down with a damp cloth.

Roller Blinds 

Always a popular choice, roller blinds consist of a flat piece of fabric that rolls up or down on a cylindrical tube. They are known for their simplicity, versatility, and are easy to use. They are often used in modern homes and are popular for their clean and uncluttered look. Roller blinds are a great choice for those looking for a functional and affordable window covering that offers good light control and a sleek look. 

Roman Blinds 

Roman blinds are known for their elegant and soft appearance, and come in a wide variety of fabrics, colours, and patterns. They are customizable and can be made to fit your specific window size and shape. Made of fabric that is folded into pleats when raised, they provide good light control, allowing you to regulate the amount of light entering your home. 

Vertical blinds 

Not as popular these days as they once were, vertical blinds are made of long, vertical slats that can be adjusted to control the amount of light entering a room. They are a good privacy providing blind and can be adjusted to prevent outsiders from seeing into your home. If you have very large windows then they are a great option. They are also perfect for offices and shops due to they’re strength and durability. 

Aluminium Blinds 

Aluminium blinds are a type of window covering made of lightweight and durable aluminium slats. They are often used in kitchens, bathrooms, and other high-humidity areas due to their resistance to moisture and heat. They are an affordable option for those on a budget, and offer good light protection, while being easy to clean and maintain.
