I wanted to go over some of the questions we get from our customers. When making such an important investment for your home, it is understandable that you would want to know more. So here you go, these are some of our top frequently asked questions.
How long will the battery last in a motorized blind?
Motorized window treatments can be either hardwired or powered by battery. The batteries can be standard AA or rechargeable. The average life span of the battery (standard or rechargeable) is about 3 to 5 years, give or take. Of course, how often you use them does affect their longevity.
What are Blackout shades?
Blackout shades are room darkening shades that offer total light blockage, but also have an option to let in more natural light when desired. These are great for people who need it to be dark when they sleep.
What is the minimum windowsill depth for an inside mounted blind?
The minimum windowsill depth for an inside mounted window treatment varies, depending on the product. You can find the depth required under the specifications for each product.
What shades work best at reducing sunlight?
When sunlight hits a room directly, it can fade furniture and floor coverings. Solar screen shades help filter out some of the damaging rays and work best for reducing sunlight.
What are the benefits of smart blinds?
To start with, smart blinds are extremely convenient. They can be operated manually or controlled by a remote of app if desired. Smart blinds can save you money on your energy bill when you program them to open or close for maximum heating and cooling efficiency. They can also help keep your home secure, since they give the appearance that someone is home, helping to detour anyone from approaching when you are gone.
What are Faux wood blinds?
Faux wood blinds are of a composite or vinyl material, and both materials are extremely durable and easy to clean. They are made to look just like real wood blinds but are half the cost of real wood blinds.
What is cloth tape and why would I want this feature on my window covering?
Cloth tape is a fabric ladder that covers your route holes for more privacy. Cloth tape can also add a splash of color to the window treatment, making them customizable to your individual style.
