Many homeowners want to highlight their windows by keeping them bare, but for someone with privacy concerns, this isn’t a good idea. To style your windows without compromising privacy, investing in high-quality window treatments may be a good option. Masters Roofing, a siding installation company in the area, shares four window coverings to consider when dressing up your windows.
1. Curtains
These are one of the most common home window treatments. They can be installed almost anywhere in your home and are easy to match since they come in a wide range of colors, patterns and colors. Curtains are also lighter than drapes and are sold in packages containing two panels.
2. Drapes
Similar to curtains, drapes come in a variety of styles and colors. The main difference between drapes and curtains is the fabric used. Drapes have heavier fabric, which is lined, pleated and hung on a traverse rod with a string so they can be opened and closed easily. Some people prefer this window treatment to block daylight and prevent heat escape through their windows.
3. Sheers
As the name implies, sheers are made of lightweight fabric, which can add a unique charm to your windows. This window treatment, however, does little to maintain privacy or block daylight, so it’s often layered over a blind or shade.
4. Shutters
Window shutters have hinges that allow them to swing open or close. They also have small louvers to filter the light. They often come in white and natural wood tones. This type of window treatment is typically installed in a coastal or rustic room.
