Add A Touch Of Beauty To Your Windows
So you are finally tired of those vinyl window blinds that were hanging in the windows when you bought the house
. They may have been new when you moved in, after a few really hot summers they no longer look very nice and the time has come for a change. The one thing that you are going to find is that when it comes to window coverings today, you have a range of choices including custom interior shutters, more blinds or curtains.
No matter which of the different choices you look at, it will all come down to your tastes, your dcor and the type of windows you have in your home. More people today are opting to start out with a set of custom shutters as they offer a much better alternative to a set of blinds. Not only do they sit inside the window frame where they can do the most good, but if you choose you can easily add a set of drapes to go over the top of them to completely close off the window.
While you can get blinds or even roller type shades that fit inside the standard shape window frame, the aesthetic results are just not the same and if you have windows that have unusual shapes they will not work at all. Both blinds and roller shades are made to fit is standard square and rectangular window frames as they are made to raise and lower to provide maximum light when desired. This is not really possible when you have round or domed windows in your home.
The same applies to curved bay windows, unless of course you don't mind your blinds sticking out from the wall far enough to overcome the curvature. If you use blinds you are not going to get the light blockage you need and most certainly you are not going to be able to get full insulation value out of your choice of window coverings. For this particular application, you will be much happier with a set of custom made bay window shutters.
Based on the type of custom made
shutters that you install on your windows, you can completely block out any light, which is perfect for the person who works nights and needs to sleep during the day. There are shutters that are made to block out the Sun's UV rays, this can help keep your carpet and your furniture from fading and needing be replaced. These shutters also help to keep the temperature in the house much cooler in the summer, which will reduce the cost of running your air conditioning all summer long.
However, summer only lasts for so long and before you know it, winter will be coming along and with it much colder temperatures. This means that all of your windows are going to become cold spots, even those that are double glazed. This is another area where choosing the right custom interior shutters can make a big difference. You will find that you can actually buy shutters that have good insulating qualities. By installing a set of them in each of your windows, you can put a huge dent in your heating bill.
If you add a set of thermal curtains over the top of your custom shutters, you can not only create a great new look in each room, but when the temperature outside starts to drop and the winds begin to howl, you will be warm and snug on the inside. These are only some of the advantages of choosing a set of custom interior shutters for your home.
The true beauty of interior shutters is that they can be custom made to fit practically any window no matter what size or shape it happens to be. Thus when you have a round window in your stairway or a row of arched windows in your living room, you can have a set of shutters custom made specifically to fit those exact windows, not some off the shelf blinds that someone has tried unsuccessfully to cut to fit into these odd shaped windows leaving you with something you would prefer to keep hidden behind curtains.
When you are ready to add beautiful window coverings that are easy to care for and will custom fit your windows regardless of their size or shape, then
