Homeowners Learn How to Maximize View While Minimizing Sun Damage and Afternoon Glare with Just the Right Window Blinds…And You Can, Too

Save Time, Money and Frustration By Accessing Virtual Library of Information

When Charles and Peggy moved into their new home, they were elated. They had saved for years to be able to afford the waterfront property and looked forward to entertaining family and friends. But, before they did, one thing was now crystal clear – the floor to ceiling windows that drew them to the home would need custom window blinds to keep the glare of the sun out, all the while emphasizing the spectacular view.

Admittedly, Peggy had bought lots of new furniture for the couple’s dream home, but she had given little thought to window treatments, simply because the view from the home’s many windows was the reason she and Charles made the purchase.

Increase View, Decrease Glare and Sun Damage

However, once moved in, Peggy and Charles realized that the glare of the summer sun as it was setting across the water, although breathtakingly beautiful, could be quite harsh. This really was only troublesome during a few hours each day, while the jaw-dropping view was something they enjoyed every waking minute; hence the dilemma.

Peggy knew that window treatments were needed throughout, but she was determined to not obstruct the one-of-a-kind view. Missing a minute of the exquisite blue sky, passing by ducks and sailboats just was not an option.

But, where to start?

The couple’s new home was just under two hours away from any of the larger chain stores and Peggy knew she would need guidance through the measuring process and assistance as she decided whether to use wood window blinds, faux wood window blinds (which are simply imitation wood), Roman shades or roller shades or, her favorite choice, rich-looking plantation shutters.

Charles had finally weighed-in with his pick, leaning heavily toward wood window blinds. But living on the water, Peggy had concerns about the high humidity level and after doing some research of her own, explained to Charles that they should consider faux wood blinds, which would not warp in the wetter conditions in which they had retired.

Different Blinds for Different Rooms

Not one to give up easy, Peggy conceded to Charles’ wish for blinds in the main living room, but only after he agreed to plantation shutters in the kitchen’s large windows and in the master bedroom and master bath.

The two then decided to put window shades in the extra bedrooms, allowing visitors to determine how much light and scenery they wanted to enjoy.

Peggy was also concerned about the strong sunlight fading the expensive fabrics she had chosen for furniture throughout the house and wanted to know more about blinds and shades that help to filter out the sun’s damaging rays, while still allowing light into the room.

The couple had lived frugally and saved for this home and their golden years. They had carefully planned and budgeted for every detail of their new home and needed to get the best deal possible on their new window blinds and window shades.

Save Time, Money by Shopping Online for the Perfect Window Treatment

Peggy, who had already done some research online, began looking at purchasing the faux wood window blinds, Roman shades and roller shades, as well as the plantation shutters through an online storefront that offered wholesale window blinds that boasted the high quality she demanded, at prices she and Charles could afford.

Choose from Larger Selection, Better Prices and Enjoy At-Home Delivery All Without Dealing With Salespeople

Peggy had been shopping online for gifts for a few years now and even bought some of her newest furniture online. She realized that shopping on the Web would enable them to get the most bang for their hard-earned buck, provide them with the selection and supporting information she was looking for and even the added convenience of home delivery.

Just as important to Peggy as saving time and money was keeping Charles out of the stores, where he was quick to complain about high-pressure salespeople, long lines, lengthy waits and the commute to and from.

And, if she acted quickly the new window blinds and window shades would be delivered in time to be installed before their first family get-together.
