How To Pick Bedroom Window Treatments In Detroit

When searching for a bedroom window covering in Detroit, privacy, light control, energy efficiency, color, and installation are important things to consider. What’s the best choice between sliding barn doors, blinds, shades, and plantation shutters? Consider these 5 things when deciding on bedroom window treatments in Detroit, MI.

Privacy

Privacy is the primary criteria for ordering bedroom window treatments. Drapes, blinds, and shades might give you an adequate screen from prying eyes. But their often sheer material means shadows and silhouettes may still be visible.

Plantation shutters and sliding barn doors, on the other hand, provide you with the most privacy. The plantation shutter louvers can be shifted and closed completely. And you can be sure that there are no gaps on the sides of the window since bedroom shutters are set up with a frame. With sliding barn doors, all you have to do to get more privacy is slide the panels closed. Depending on the way the barn doors are installed, you might see a slight gap on the sides of the window.

Light Control

For all the times you want to block out an obnoxious street light, ignore the full moon, or sleep in, you need a bedroom window treatment that can block light. Blinds are not ideal for keeping the room dark. The material the slats are made from is usually pretty thin. And you can still see light coming in from the sides.

Certain types of shades might provide you with enough light blocking. And some blackout curtains succeed in controlling the light. Some blackout curtains succeed in minimizing the amount of light that comes through the window. And certain types of shades can provide you with enough light blocking. Sliding barn doors , made from solid wood block the light head on. However the gap on the sides of the panels does not seal off the light completely.

All three plantation shutters are mounted with a frame that seals off any stray sun rays. And their louvers can lay flat against each other, creating the darkest possible room. Both Polywood® and Ovation® wood shutters are made from louvers that can be closed to block out light. However, reclaimed wood shutters are likely to have holes and markings that let in light. Now you can block the light from the street any day of the week with these bedroom plantation shutters!

Energy Efficiency

You won’t find a more energy efficient window treatment in Detroit. So if you want to stay cool in the summer and toasty in the winter, get Polywood plantation shutters for your bedroom.

Color

Bedroom window treatments are available in several styles and colors to complement your furniture. For the warmth of wood, go with wood blinds, woven wood shades, Ovation wood plantation shutters, reclaimed wood shutters, or sliding barn door shutters.

Quality

Buy with quality in mind when it comes to window treatments for the bedroom. Draperies, blinds, and shades are likely to discolor, break, and lose their integrity within 10 years.

And made with our patented wood synthetic, shutter louvers won’t ever crack.
