Shutters for Your Home

Shutters are a classic window treatment that can look incredible in your home. These are semi-permanent window treatments are available in natural hardwood, durable wood composite, strong and durable vinyl, or commercial-grade aluminum. Shutters:

• Provide excellent light control and privacy when you twist the slats
• Increase security and durability when closed, as they can protect from storms or inclement weather
• Can open fully to allow for a completely unobstructed view
• Are available for windows of almost any cut or shape

Dress Your Window with Blinds

Made from wood, faux wood, or aluminum metal, blinds add luxury and elegance to your home. They’re versatile and can fit most windows and even some patio or French doors. They offer excellent light control, privacy, or a view with a twist of the slats. They’re available in a wide range of colors and go great when paired with drapes or as a standalone look to your window.

Wood and faux wood blinds are particularly suited for more traditional spaces, while metal blinds are great for modern spaces. But any blind can work in any style home—just pick your favorite shades to match with your interiors for a cohesive look.

Dress Your Windows with Different Types of Shades

Fabric shades can offer outstanding range of looks and levels of coverage for your windows. Each shading style has different advantages and can benefit your windows in various ways. They can also provide slightly different aesthetics to your home. The types of shades you can consider are:

• Roller shades are modern shades that unroll to cover your windows. They’re available in hundreds of colors and patterns in fabrics ranging from sheer to room-darkening. Solar shades act like sunglasses for your home, reducing glare and blocking UV rays while providing you with a view.
• Roman shades have a classic, tailored architectural style that looks a little like curtains, but you can also get them in more relaxed folds in rich, luxurious fabrics.
• Cellular shades use layers of fabric to form honeycomb-shaped cells. The cells fill with air and press against the window, acting like insulation to reduce energy.
• Woven shades are made from various natural materials like woods and grasses and are hand-woven to form durable, elegant material that effortlessly pulls nature into your home.
• Sheer shades are made from sheer fabric panels and opaque vanes to gently diffuse light, block UV rays, and reduce glare while still providing a view.
