Are Window Treatments Necessary?

Basically, if you look at the bottom line, yes; they kind of are. Why? Because sunlight, while beneficial to us in degrees, also has some detrimental qualities that must be avoided. UV radiation is the big one, but it does more than harm our skins, it also damages upholstery, paint, books and various other items and materials, especially with long term exposure. Being able to regulate sunlight and control how much of gets through and when, is incredibly important.

Why Else Are Blinds and Shades Important?

Well, for starters there's the matter of privacy. You don't want people to just be able to look through your windows willy nilly, right? You want to keep areas like your bedroom or your office private and free from prying eyes. And of course, there's thermal insulation. Open windows, and even closed ones, can be the source of heat escaping or entering a room, depending on the season. But by covering them up with the right type of custom made shades, drapes or other types of coverings, you'll be able to greatly reduce this effect. You can also get electric blinds with automatic vane adjustment that you won't have even to mess with after the installation. If your Laguna Woods office is directly facing the sun for most of the day, adding new light filtering shades will significantly improve your productivity.

So Which Blinds and Shades Should I Get?

The answer to that question depends on various factors. Mainly, your needs. Roller shades are a very popular option for their simplicity and affordability. Faux wood blinds are another sought after shading solution that provides the elegance of wood without the extra maintenance. There are pleated Roman shades that fold beautifully and make for wonderful décor contributions, or the classic Venetian Blinds that reliably block out sunlight and offer great privacy.
