Maybe you feel like you know the basics.  Or perhaps just the thought of trying to wrap your head around the many types of  shades is too much to process. There are good reasons why you might select one type of window treatment over another in Allenhurst.  Budget Blinds of Long Branch is here to explore the differences, explain the benefits of each and give you the confidence to consider the right type of shades  that not only reflect your style but honor your budget. 

 

Let’s delve into the world of shades. A traditional shade is a window covering that is soft and made of a long panel of fabric.  As you raise the shade, you are able to let it the amount of light you please as well as decide how much of a view you would like to have of the outside world.  The shade will raise, rolling around or bunching around a rod and a roller, cord or lifting mechanism.  One element to choose is the opacity level of the liner or fabric for the shade that you’re considering.  

 

One of the benefits of shades is the vast range of colors and patterns available.  Budget Blinds is proud to offer an incredible collection that will transform a room easily and cost effectively.  For more translucent styles, you are able to also select a room darkening shade for rooms like  bedrooms where darkness is essential.  

 

In the realm of window treatments in Allenhurst, there are many styles of shades.  Here are some of the most popular types:

  • Roman Shades:  These beauties come in gorgeous fabrics that cascade with diffused light to give you a warm and inviting  ambiance. Pick your lift system like a top-down/bottom-up option for even more versatility for your favorite spaces. 

  • Cellular Shades: This style of window solution was created with fabric pockets that trap air to insulate your windows and do a great job improving temperature control. You can customize cellular shades to work for unique windows like skylights, arches, hexagons and angled windows. 

  • Solar Shades: This option is ideal for reducing glare and protecting your furnishings, flooring and artwork from fading or cracking from the harmful UV rays of the sun. They are sleek  and  modern. Solar shades work well in almost any space as they are available in lots of designer prints and attractive colors. 

  • Woven Woods: These eco-friendly options are recyclable and made of jute, bamboo or other grasses, giving a room an earthy, rustic feel. We carry a collection from Inspired Shades™ that includes bold reds, greens and blues as well as soothing creams, whites and grays. 

  • Roller Shades:  This option can regulate natural light and privacy in your home so you can get a better night’s sleep or to cut the sun’s glare on a television screen. Consider adding automation for rooms with hard to reach or multiple windows to give you the ultimate in easy operation.
