We do not often think about our window blinds until something goes wrong with them. The window blinds are there, blocking the morning sun, giving you a little privacy, doing their quiet job day after day. But window blinds do not last forever, and old or damaged window coverings can quietly cost you comfort, energy efficiency and the look of your home. The window blinds can really make a difference in how your home looks and feels.
If you have been wondering whether it is time for an upgrade, here are five signs that your window blinds are telling you that and what to replace them with.
1. They Will Not Stay Up or Down
If your window blinds keep slipping, jamming or refusing to hold position, the internal mechanism of the window blinds is worn out. This is not just annoying; it is a safety concern with corded window blinds around young children. Once the lift system of the window blinds breaks, no amount of adjusting will fix it. You will need to get window blinds.
What to get instead: Custom zebra window blinds from Solar Blinds Inc give you consistent light control with no jamming. The dual-fabric design of the custom zebra window blinds lets you shift between opaque panels effortlessly, and the cordless and motorised options of the custom zebra window blinds eliminate the cord hazard. The custom zebra window blinds are an option.
2. The Fabric of the Window Blinds Is Faded, Stained, Or Warped
Sun exposure fades the colours of the window blinds; humidity warps the slats of the window blinds, and years of handling leave stains on the window blinds that cleaning cannot touch. Discoloured or misshapen window blinds bring down the look of a room, and no amount of cleaning brings back what UV damage has taken from the window blinds. The window blinds can look really bad.
What to get instead: Dual shade zebra window blinds use alternating solid fabric bands engineered to hold the colour and shape of the window blinds over time. Unlike off-the-shelf options, Solar Blinds custom window blinds in Edmonton and Alberta are made from quality materials built for long-term performance in Canadian conditions, including intense summer sun and dry winter air. The custom window blinds are made to last.
3. You Are Losing Heat in Winter and Cool Air in Summer
Standard vinyl or aluminium window blinds offer no insulation value. If you feel a draft near your windows in an Edmonton winter, your window blinds are not helping. This translates
directly to heating and cooling bills year-round. The window blinds can really make a difference in your energy bills.
What to get instead: Upgrade to honeycomb shades or get dual-layer window blinds, which create an air space between your room and the glass. They also make an insulating air barrier. Solar Blinds has energy- window coverings. They are made for Alberta's weather. In months, they keep warmth in. In summer, they block heat without blocking sunlight. The energy-efficient window coverings are an option.
4. The Window Blinds No Longer Fit Your Windows Properly
Window blinds that gap at the sides sit too short. Overlaps are almost always off-the-shelf products that were never the right size to begin with. Fitting window blinds looks cheap and lets in light where you do not want it. The window blinds should fit your windows perfectly.
What to get instead: Every order from Solar Blinds is made-to-measure for your window dimensions. The team from Solar Blinds comes to your home, takes measurements and installs everything so you get a clean, tailored fit that big-box stores and online retailers. The custom window blinds are made to fit your windows
5. Your Style Has Moved On: Interior design changes:
What looked good in your home five years ago might look old now. If your window blinds do not match your renovation, your new furniture, or your fresh paint, they do not complete your space. The window blinds should match your style.
What to get instead: Solar Blinds has a lot of window blinds in Edmonton, Alberta. They have all sorts of blinds, like Shangri-La and Roman window blinds. They also have zebra, roller and honeycomb shades. These come in lots of colours and finishes.
