Misconceptions About Blinds
Generally, the first thing that pops into a homeowner’s mind when window treatments in Ocean Grove are mentioned is blinds. They are iconic, stately and so versatile, leading to their popularity. At home in any room thanks to the variety of materials that blinds are made from, including wood, vinyl, composite and aluminum, blinds have been an essential part of interior design for decades.
Like any other popular item, there are a number of myths that swirl around blinds. Maybe you’ve even thought one. Let us take a moment to dispel some of these common misconceptions about blinds so you can pick the right window treatments for your home or business.
Blinds Will Disrupt My Amazing View
Rather than obstruct your view, the correct blinds will highlight your perspective of the outside by filtering natural light as you wish. By having the chance to decide on privacy and light filtration, blinds give you ultimate control over window treatments in Ocean Grove.
I Have Kids and Pets So Blinds Aren’t My First Choice, Based on Safety
If your home has kids or pets, it is understandable that you may have concerns about the safety factor of blinds with cords, which can pose the risk of an accident. With modern advanced safety standards and options like motorization which allows you to control your blinds with your smartphone or with the touch of a remote or cordless lift mechanism, there are ways to eliminate the need for a dangling cord and keep your home and window treatments child and pet friendly.
High-End Blinds Are Just Too Expensive For My Budget
We know that spending lots of money does not always translate to the best quality. Faux wood blinds, for example, are a cost-effective choice that will add timeless beauty and durability to your home or business. There’s no reason to break the bank to find the best option for your spaces. Blinds are a cost-effective and durable window treatment in Ocean Grove and beyond.
Blinds Won’t Last Very Long
We love to dispel this myth. Made of so many different types of material like aluminum, faux wood and wood, blinds are durable and built to last for years to come. They are designed to resist fading and stand up beautifully to household wear and tear.
Blinds Take Too Much Time to Clean
Before you envision a lengthy process to clean blinds, adding to your house cleaning routine, we’re here to tell you that the upkeep on blinds is simple. Running a vacuum attachment at low intensity, using a feather duster or, depending upon the material, a sponge in mild detergent, will remove dirt and dust buildup, leading to years of shining use.
Blinds Won’t Work For My Oversized Windows
There are lots of options for windows that do not fit into the standard shapes, especially custom window-blinds. For large windows, glass doors and windows that span from the ceiling to the floor, vertical blinds are a perfect window treatment in Ocean Grove or anywhere!
