WINDOW SHUTTER A window shutter is a solid and stable window covering

BLINDS

A type of window covering made of a series of evenly spaced slats that may be opened or closed by cords.

They are much more affordable than other coverings.

 Blinds can be accented with valances and other window treatments like curtains to help make them look more decorative.

Blinds come in several colors and range from the less expensive plastic varieties to wood and other decorative styles.

Blinds are “hard” window coverings, have slats or vanes that tumble down the blind as it is lowered or can be pulled across a window to stack lengthwise, to the side.

These slats complete blind and are usually controlled by a manual pull cord.

Closed tightly for privacy and for light control, but they can be adjusted or tilted at different angles to allow you to control the amount of light needed.

Wood, Faux-Wood, Woven Wood, Mini Blinds and Vertical Blinds are the most popular “blinds”.

These materials exude a tactile feeling of hard or bumpy; hence the name, hard window treatments..

Shades are “soft” window treatments which are made of materials on a continuous roll to cover window opening

. Shades are drawn up and down by cords or rolled up with a spring device. Shades have no slats or vanes and offer a smooth look to your windows; hence, they are called soft window treatments as the fabric and feeling of the shade is warm and flowing. Although you cannot adjust for light filtering, as with blinds, you can choose different levels of opacity for light preferences.

SHADES

Window shades are a piece of fabric which rolls, stacks or folds, opening to a view only when the shade is rolled up.

 Window shades are decorative, functional and available in a variety of styles, colour and materials.

They also provide insulation against the cold in the winter and heat in the summer.

 Their versatility allows them to be used in many different rooms, styles and situations, making window shades of all types among the most popular window treatments.

TYPES OF SHADES

CELLULAR SHADES

Cellular Shades have little pockets of air (think beehive) that trap hot and cold air, creating excellent energy efficiency. Plus, just about every color is available and many patterns and designs add to their versatility.

ROLLER SHADES Roller shades pull up and down, and are

mounted on rollers. may be mounted at either the top, or the bottom of the window. these reduce light and give privacy in direct relationship to their thickness and translucency or opaqueness.

ROMAN SHADES:- Roman shades are attached to tapes that pleat

the fabric when drawn by using cords. Roman shades pleat in definite horizontal lines as they are raised.

They may unfold flat or in cascading loops.

WOVEN WOOD SHADES Handcrafted from reeds, grasses and natural

woods, woven wood shades give a unique natural beauty to your windows unlike any other type ofwindow covering. 

These function much like those made of fabric, either rolling or folding as they are raised. they differ in that they usually let more light through, and give a better view of the outside.
