With the many different
items available with which to cover a window, a homeowner may have a
difficult time in choosing one when he/she wants to cover or decorate
their windows. One of the more popular window coverings are blinds.
Not only are blinds highly decorative and easy to install but they
are also much more affordable than some of the other window dressings
out there.
Although a homeowner may
narrow the choice down to blinds, there's still the question of which
type of blind in which brand of blind to use. While brand often
determines quality, the specific type of blind a homeowner chooses
must be one that fits both their budget and the needs of their home
and personal tastes making the decision a difficult one. Although
there are many different types of lines in homeowner can use for
their windows there are four types that are more popular than any
others.
- Faux wood blinds: these tax blinds look like real wood but are far less expensive than the real thing. These tax blinds are also extremely durable making them great for bathrooms, kitchens and kids rooms. Furthermore their moisture resistant and very easy to clean.
- Real wood blinds: real wood blinds boast a warm and natural look and are available in a wide variety of color options. Real wood blinds are perhaps best at blocking out incoming light and weigh very little. As with all other wood products, wood blinds tend to crack, rot, and chip away over time so I homeowner should be cautious in choosing wood blinds.
- Aluminum blinds: aluminum blinds are inexpensive and lightweight. Moreover they are available in a great deal of colors. While not as good as wood blinds with regards to blocking out light, aluminum blinds still do a very good job at keeping light out. These types of lines however are poor insulators and usually less appealing than other types.
- Vertical blinds: vertical blinds are most commonly seen on sliding doors and large windows. They are very easy to clean, attractive and hold very little dust and are usually beautifully textured. Homeowners looking for something a little more exuberant however should stay away from vertical blinds as they have a very "standard" look to them.
